Mother To Son
Life for me ain,t been no crystal stairs.
Well, Son I" tell you:
Life for me ain,t been no crystal stairs.
It,s had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up.
And places with no carpet on the floor-- bare.
But all the time
I,see a-climbin, on,
And reaching, landins,
And turmin, corner,
Where there ain't been on light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps,
Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now-
For I'se still goin' , honey,
I'se still climbin' ,
And life for me ain;t been no crystel stair.

Trickle Them Down, But Not Out
The thing about smart people is that they should know better, but alas, intelligence is not the same as wisdom. Not only do the mistakes of experts too short on vision—when they are not corrected—have the potential to do great and far-reaching damage, but they also undermine public confidence in the very notion of expertise. This is particularly so when expertise is wielded in defence of the rich and powerful as a cudgel against those laid low. As an academic, this lack of faith in “so-called experts” is painful to see as it plays out in the spread of dis-/misinformation, conspiracy theories, and anti-intellectualism writ large. But it is also an understandable impulse given the catastrophic failure of an economic ideology pushed by certain economic experts. Supply-side economics has shaped a broken system for the last half-century and has arguably done more to undermine the fabric of the American Dream than any policy framework of the past century.
