If you made a post about code w.r.t. Pedagogy of The Oppressed I would read it. I think you have some real insight there.

With regard to? We can do that. The basics would be to introduce people to tools instead of teaching them procedures. Anyone can "make a website" - and follow the steps that someone told them - but showing someone a way 'to think' about discovery and how to feel safe talking things slow - and how to listen and research and hypothesize and prototype / is how you can set people free - and they'll take that mind-set and share it. Right now, people are herded into packs of opposing consumers and taught to identify by association instead of by their true self and connection to our world. It's not specific to "code" or programming... but the things we are building are reinforcing the mindset that allows the people to be oppressed and to oppress themselves.
