Reading an article which talks about "skilled independent learners" and feeling an internal cringe because while being not inherently bad... the framing makes me think of a single person at their computer, responsible for finding and learning about things vs. a collaboratively learning society.

I dunno, there are some areas of my own profession, even, which I avoid because the mainstream discourse gives me shivers. OTOH I'm grateful for the people who engage with it and think about it because they exist in each of those areas. I can just only handle so much frustration at once, y'know?
