    love the pedagogy and the setup. Do you have any pointers for instructors that might have the pedagogy but have only taught in-person or zoom plus slides only?

      I wish I had pointers, but I wouldn't say I've mastered Zoom classes yet. And the format with both in-person and Zoom for the same classes is not something I have experience with.

      @@AshleyHodgson Thanks for your response! Do you have a video or documentation where you describe how to do the type of videos you do (ideally targeted to technologically non-savvy lecturers :) )?

    Changing the incentives at play. Convince the leadership, establishment, opinion-makers and culture producers that bullying the weak, weird, stupid, ugly, fat, etc. goes against even the "top dog's" own best interests. Four Points follow:
    (1) Reduces, if not eliminates, the bullied person's ability to contribute at high levels to society - including for the top dog's own businesses, institutions, or government administration;
    (2) Creates an atmosphere where bad acts flourish: petty power struggles and "turf wars", corruption, exploitation / rip-offs, and otherwise dishonest and dishonrable practices occur - perhaps endangering the top dogs themselves or their not-so-top-dog offspring and family members;
    (3) Drives or scares away others to less hostile groupings, who gain talent and wealth at the bullying group's expense.
    (4) Distorts the overall morals and ethics of the group, perhaps society. Prioritizes gaining pleasure-goodness over stopping misery-badness. Severe badness is not erased by more goodness, any more than body spray doesn't change being unbathed. What kind of goodness is that?
    The only people who benefit from bullying or a bully-friendly environment are those who are too blind to see the big picture, too uncreative to imagine anything better, too lazy or feeble of mind to ask if beating down the weak, stupid, etc. really helps society in the long run, too addicted to their own convenience to ask if their and society's ways of sizing up another's worth are for real, and just don't care in the slightest about the negative impacts of the bully's acts on others.
