Reading widely and well is a proven strategy for building knowledge. It develops the ability to make connections. Asking conceptual questions improves learning.

That is, according to educational psychologists. The notion of being informed is important, as in a civic responsibility or duty, but misleading if reduced to being in possession of facts.

Whether there is still a culture in which being informed about current events is an expectation, is an interesting question. This could be a topic for a lecturer, the public issue in the Estonian context, along with the role of Metsaülikool.

In Canada, it was raised in the last decade somewhere by Director of International Indigenous Studies and Chair in Ethnic Studies, Prof. Emeritus James Frideres. He considered whether public space is changing to the point where people are no longer orienting to this feature of citizenship. Or in the digital age the orientation may be undergoing a transformation.

Many Canadian magazines, notably the Canadian Forum, with a diverse forum of thinkers, have ceased publication. Others, including MacLean’s (where Peeter Kopvillem was senior executive editor - there’s a Vikipedia entry for development and one to write for Wikipedia!), Canadian Dimension, The Literary Review of Canada, The Walrus, The Narwhal, etc. still invite conversation on current affairs.

Social media have created a new form of sociality in which everyone retreats into a bubble of the like-minded like a hall of mirrors and this arguably undermines the news media, although people still look to the CBC and CTV, for example, for an authoritative voice.

Perhaps you were the only listener who was capable of raising these issues. Perhaps it was not a matter of deference but a lack of experience. Metsaulikool is not a business. The participants have no need to be knowledgeable about all the topics presented, only interested.

I didn’t exclude myself although I hadn’t heard the lecture prior to its rebroadcast as the finale to the virtual seminar. I regret the lost opportunity for discussion of economic chauvinism and our foremost current pressing realities.

The issue of a culture of deference is taken seriously in business where it is nonetheless addressed individually and not structurally as regards consistently adequate if not optimal mechanisms for participation. But for what it’s worth:

“The subordinate needs enough self-confidence to speak up, and the boss needs enough self-confidence to listen. When either lacks this ability, communication is constrained and deference becomes a dangerous default position….

Breaking free of an overly deferential culture is not easy … most importantly, if you do start feeling defensive and threatened, try not to react immediately in a way that might shut down the discussion.”
