It Made The New York Times! As we might say in Brazil, "deu no New York Times." I had to share this because it's not every day that our sociological imagination makes it onto the pages of The New York Times ! www.nytimes.com/2026/07/06/s... #FIFAWorldCup @newyorktimesdirect.bsky.social

Critics say cheers like “U-S-A!” and “I believe we can win” are unoriginal. We asked experts on soccer chants to explain why.

We should stop trying to get things right and start trying to make things better - Richard Rorty

This world is not made of shades of grey. It is made of colours like azure and coral and emerald and marigold. But it insists on painting everything in black and white and fitting it into boxes that it understands. Do not do that to yourself.

‘The future is shaped by us, it’s not something handed to us’ (Paulo Freire, as he refused to accept that history could not be changed by human actions and insisted on the educational mission of denouncing the current oppressive state of societies, while announcing a better future)

‘No conclusion of scientific research can be converted into an immediate rule of educational art’ (John Dewey)

The growth of knowledge depends entirely upon disagreement. Karl Popper

“If all of your ideas are correct, will there be room to add new information? Can you pour any more liquid into a full cup?” ― Eric Overby

“Whenever a theory appears to you as the only possible one, take this as a sign that you have neither understood the theory nor the problem which it was intended to solve.” (Karl Popper)
