Integrity is promotion, the round Congratulations of it, standing above colleagues and making a fat name for itself. Professor, performer, provider, and persecutor – the stiff clean dog takes itself seriously, takes down opposition, and takes the money money money. It seems Education is cleaner than bad blood though, through it all, infelicities and anomalies have continued to be magnified, bright and grinding, since the last Ice Age. Justice is positively criminal, but it quietens dissent, quelling true practitioners just as it did in past lives. It always did. It always did. When life forgets learning – social, invisible, and slithering about the truth – mobility become electric, veining through Education, Leadership, and minor ethical adjustments. Integrity wants it all until it forgets its own definitions. Going forward, we recognise new appointments, owning our impact and applauding what we made ourselves from. We will wash our own faces. Even with our track records and footprints in the fields, research says to proceed as if exchange had actually happened, and data doesn’t lie. Forgetting is authority, the whole Leadership of it. We shall appoint old dogs and tricky new colleagues. Congratulations are here again.
