  • There are many that irrationally reflexively recoil at anything “AI”. Yes most of the current gatekeepers are looking to weaponize it against us. And yes they are rushing to implement it in the most wasteful and destructive ways imaginable. Chasing a few dollars more.

    AI however is just a tool. And asics are being designed to be far more efficient for it. And we could also use it against the wealthy as well. But they aren’t behaving rationally. Even this post will likely be down voted. Because I didn’t irrationally scream and denounce it.

    I will say this though. We don’t need economic growth. We need to remove leaches from the economy. If we did that. We could provide a better standard of living to more people with a smaller "economy ".













  • There’s good reason it’s government administrated though. The competition model only works in urban environments. And even then. Those magnet schools etc are often just as big a part of the problem. Creating large disparities at best. Or a slightly more expensive failure mill on average.

    There should be more leeway on a state by state basis to decide instruction methods etc. Provided they can satisfy core competencies. Part of the problem of the last 50 years is that we’ve let the most anti-education State set the standard for Education Nationwide simply because of their size.




  • Education, fostering a culture of learning, merciles ridicule of any of that would reject it. There was a time that anyone screaming about the water turning the freaking frogs gay. Would only be seen standing on street corners smeared in their own shit as everyone shunned them. Not as an influential leader outside of small religious cults. You can never do away with them completely. But as a society we used to do much better about it. Boomers normalized it, us gen-x tolerated it, and it became a fact of life for millennials. Hopefully the Zoomers will finally start the push back the other direction. And those of us that are sane in the previous generations can show solidarity and support more than in that.
