Kottke.org

Launched in 1998, kottke.org stands as one of the internet's longest-running blogs. Created by Jason Kottke, the site explores a wide range of important people, innovations, performances, and concepts that enhance our collective understanding of the world. With over 26,000 posts, the blog frequently delves into topics such as art, technology, science, visual culture, design, music, cities, food, architecture, sports, quirky content, and thoughtfully selected current events, all presented with a bit of context. In essence, it serves as a comprehensive collection of knowledge, filtered through my unique perspective, with its own set of strengths and weaknesses.

The Three Types of Specialists Needed for Any Revolution

2 days ago | kottke.org | Jason Kottke

Slazinger claims to have learned from history that most people cannot open their minds to new ideas unless a mind-opening team with a peculiar membership goes to work on them. Otherwise, life will go on exactly as before, no matter how painful, unrealistic, unjust, ludicrous, or downright dumb that life may be. The team must consist of three sorts of specialists, he says. Otherwise the revolution, whether in politics or the arts or the sciences or whatever, is sure to fail.

The author is a trans man1 who has experienced social situations presenting as both a woman and a man. There’s a huge sense of social isolation that comes with being perceived as male, because now people are subconsciously treating me as a potential predator. All strangers, no matter their gender, keep their guard up around me.
