I never really bought that story of children being more curious than adults, is it there any evidence supporting it?
Quoting a tweet by @phalpern ↗
I remember most children from my childhood being just as curious (and, often, uncurious) as adults I know now.

I think there may be an interesting distinction to explore between "sins of intent" and "sins of ignorance" (so to speak).
When I was young and stupid I honestly thought tech was meritocratic because I knew fuck all yet made my way in.
It was only after a while that I started noticing that things were really not at all that simple.
The distinction excuses nothing, but strategies differ. I can think of ways to reach out to ignorance: maintain the signal.
Deliberate racism? I don't know how to fix that other than by excluding perpetrators.
