I happened to read this post today just an hour after reading about the death of Utah Phillips – a storyteller whose parables on power and privilege have stuck with me ever since I first heard them.

When asked about the inheritance of culture and ideas between generations Utah Phillips once responded:

Joseph Campbell, late in his life, said, “All we really want is to be completely human and in each other’s company.” Everything in this country is unilaterally against that–our best and most natural selves.

It is this idea explored in the bavatuesdays EduPunk post. Technology has the potential to bind us together to solve problems, articulate ideas and vision, and enrich our understanding of both ourselves and others. Technology also has the potential to obfuscate the ends through a confusion of the means.

EduPunk is a cry for ideas, creativity, risk taking, and DIY ethos that challenges assumptions of teaching and learning.

I encourage you to head over to bavatuesdays.com to read more and leave you with a rare live track from the greatest DIY punk band of all time – The Minutemen.
