Oh, these are excellent and spot on, Dan - - exactly what I was looking for! (Flyvbjerg's book is new to me and looks like a treat.) "Capitalism" made me LOL. // Thank you!!

@cityofsound.bsky.social - - Dan! I've been thinking about this Norman Potter quote from Dark Matter. When you think of this, what canonical examples come to mind from your disciplines? I'm working on something where the principals are reluctant to revisit a big (errant) premise, and need evidence.

Translated copy of Meta Knol Mauritshus Climate Activism Opinie _ Musea zouden zelf klimaatactivisme moeten bedrijven, ze zijn er bij uitstek geschikt voor - NRC 8/18/25, 10:20 AM Opinion | Museums should engage in climate activism themselves, they are ideally suited for it - NRC Original dutch at https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2022/11/02/musea-zouden-zelf-klimaata...

Here's a thought starter - - a 2022 opinion piece by museum director @metaknol.bsky.social about climate activism at the Mauritshus in The Hague, NL.

"Museums should engage in climate activism themselves: They are ideally suited for it."

(convenience translation:
docs.google.com/document/d/1... )

..."Walking through the museum, I dream that perhaps one day it will reject the overarching nostalgia that so much of the institution represents, and it will embrace something really new… Maybe that day, what Frick left behind will represent the new culture of which we can all finally be proud."

... "When collectors acquire such prominent works with famous pedigrees, aren’t they acquiring their auras as well? We simply don’t talk enough about why the wealthy build institutions like this, ones clearly designed to distort the realities of their lives.

...

Hi Emilia! — I don't know the Frick so well, but from the sound of @hrag.bsky.social 's review, not nearly enough! (In other words, they missed an opportunity to...be...relevant to the 21st century?) ...

Thank you, @hrag.bsky.social — you can shoot this right into my veins. HT @erodley.bsky.social
