[community] a few pieces thinking through assessment, ethics, and quantification

[Mitchell, Jess]

Dear Community,

I have been pushing ‘publish’ on a few pieces lately.

This has been a bit of a hard push, so it started with this to sort of situate these:

Then this attempt to shine a light on some of our silliness:
https://medium.com/age-of-awareness/the-tyranny-of-clear-thinking-580a94b9fcfc

And then this, an expanded version of the ethical lines we draw, a keynote I delivered at OpenEd 18:
https://medium.com/@jesshmitchell/the-ethical-edges-what-is-our-tolerance-for-failure-who-are-we-comfortable-leaving-behind-9214d380772a

I struggled with ‘if’ to push publish, I struggled with ‘where’ to push publish, and I still struggle with having pushed publish. :)

The journey feels like it’s just begun… there are a few more in the hopper, poised to come out over the next number of weeks.

I’d love edits, contributions, comments, critiques, thoughts, etc.

Best,
Jess
