Paulo Freire, born on the 19th of September in 1921, was a Brazilian philosopher and radical pedagogue most known for his 1968 work Pedagogy of the Oppressed. "Language is never neutral."

Paulo was born in Recife, the capital of the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco. Initially affluent, his family experienced hardship during the Great Depression of the 1930s, and Freire's education suffered due to his own experiences with poverty and hunger.

Freire began working as a schoolteacher in the 1940s, beginning to serve as the director of the Pernambuco Department of Education and Culture in 1946. Due to the 1964 Brazilian coup d'Γ©tat, where a military dictatorship was put in place with the support of the United States, Paulo Freire was exiled from his home country, an exile that lasted 16 years.

Freire then worked in Chile, until April 1969 when he accepted a temporary position at Harvard University. It was during this period, in 1968, that Freire published his most famous work, "Pedagogy of the Oppressed".

In this text, Freire criticizes what he calls the "banking method" of education, wherein a teacher "deposits" knowledge into an empty vessel, the student, or "bank". Instead, Freire calls upon teacher to engage in a more dialog-centric or creative education, one in which the suppressed experiences of the oppressed help create knowledge, fostering a social reality in which the marginalized are humanized.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed has since become the third most cited book in the social sciences, according to Elliott D. Green. As of 2000, the book had sold over 750,000 copies worldwide.

"Manipulation, sloganizing, depositing, regimentation, and prescription cannot be components of revolutionary praxis, precisely because they are the components of the praxis of domination."

Inventing a robot that can shit its pants so it has an excuse for why it walks like that

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Then inventing a robot that can shit its pants but walk normally

[–] BadTakesHaver@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

how does the robot produce a shit? is it made out of the same stuff human poop is made of, or is it like a worn out battery that pops out? how often do robots need to shit?

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The ones I'd invent do human popp

[–] lelkins@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

you'd require a way to ferment food items and a way for the robot to feed itself, because shit is just the foodstuffs we ate but with nutrients removed and fermented by bacteria

good luck, this will be a technical feat for grossology

[–] XiaCobolt@hexbear.net 1 points 41 minutes ago

In the original story the word Robot comes from, they are actually organic constructs that resemble humans. And presumably ear and shit.

Its getting to be around 10 degrees Celsius. Summer is over but its bot quote spooky season. It's time to earch Twin peaks again and get into a really fucking weird mental state because of it!

[–] Commie_Chameleon@hexbear.net 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Weird mental state is right, just finished my rewatch a little while ago! Gonna do the movie and third season or just the first two? I did all of it but skipped a bunch of 2 because I’m weak

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 5 hours ago

Movie and third season for sure, just beware that it gets REALLY fucking dark from here. Fire Walk With Me is amazing but also a really emotionally straining watch. Season 3 is a similar tone.

buying tickets at my local cinema and it looks like they got rid of the fancy "loveseat" paired recliners since last time I was there, a few months ago? on all 14 screens? that had to have been expensive, i wonder what happened

[–] KuroXppi@hexbear.net 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] VHS@hexbear.net 2 points 4 hours ago

One would have to assume. Still, they had them for 5+ years and they were still in good shape

The fact that the president is DMing members of his staff on truth social makes me wonder just how many workers at the company who have access to the database can just read all of what the president is DMing to everyone lmao.

I feel like there’s a way to excise the eugenics piece and salvage a decent movie from Idiocracy.

Everytime I want a cigarette I'm trying to do 15 push ups for the headrush, and I'm getting pretty damn fit - but i have to start exercising other muscle groups because I've hurt myself at work (rsi), i am not enjoying getting older

This is the age my parents had kids, so what is that? my body is failing, time to breed! lol, pass

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago

Feeling like shit all over again. Really thought I was starting to climb out of this rut over this past week and IDK... maybe its just working 6 days a week. Or the feeling that I self-sabatoged the relationships I had spent so much time building over the past year in just a matter of weeks. Or just thinking so much about what exactly I want for the future. All of it. Just all of it. I want to go far and not have to think about anything for a week or two, but its not happening anytime soon.

For some reason YouTube thinks i wanna watch bar rescue clips. The host or whatever looks like a monitor lizard.

I saw this PFLP tote bag in an instagram reel pls if anyone knows where to find it I need it

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 4 points 10 hours ago

It'd pretty easy to make a stencil of that yourself, cover a sheet of paper in masking tape (to help make it stronger), trace the design on, cut it out, spray paint it onto whatever - spray paint will stay on cotton, tho itll fade a bit

if you have like $100 you can easily get a silk screen and some inks too, totally worthwhile. Being able to mass print your own agitprop is only going to become more important
