“Hope is not confidence. If it could not be disappointed,
it would not be hope… Thus, hope is critical and can be
disappointed… Hope is not confidence. Hope is
surrounded by dangers, and it is the consciousness of
danger and at the same time the determined negation of
that which continually makes the opposite of the hoped-
for possible” - Adarno
We are in a time of educational change.
Some developments of education that were happening anyway have now been accelerated and things that would have taken years are now happening in minutes.
1. How we anchor is fundamental;
2. Anchors change, or need to, depending on new circumstances;
3. It is preferable to choose new anchors in an informed, deliberate manner, as they impact decision-making in the future in an automatic manner; and
4. It is preferable for anchors during times of ‘uncertainty coupled by an abundance of alternatives’ to be in alignment with the best available present knowledge base and preferred futures rather than being in alignment with the past (previous anchors).

Humans have always,and in ways that are intensifying,thought with each other
We are not separate from nature, we are nature,we are in the world not outside it
Older adults will be needing to learn for longer.
The idea of the autonomous human child ...educated to achieve success in an economy detached fromthe biosphere and assessed as separate from others ...makes no sense in this analysis (if it ever did)

Speculative fiction and methods in educational research
Perhaps, a timeline will show how education provided a vital sense-making activity for people. Perhaps, it will show how they came together in the practice of this activity in a time of deep turmoil.
The words and the stories we wear
We want you to wear this story.
Our chapter explores education as posthuman practice via the anatomy of a lesson plan. It is a fabulation set in the future but with roots that tangle with the past. Dark histories and futures are set to flicker here. Deception, de-identification and datafication lurk everywhere. If you are squeamish you may wish not to read it. The datafication of people, their reduction to numbers, bytes, and, most fatally of all words, is laid out here in gory detail. If you do wish to read, however, then you need nothing: just come as you are, and be assured as always, that as the reader, choice is yours.
