Relentless advancement to produce new gen of blob-no-thoughts seppos

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”

But if you've never done it before it isnt as intuitive. My first computer ran dos. If anything, I think in middle school they should start with a really simple os, something resembling the technology in its bare bones. Year after year, learn the systems increased complexity so the understanding of how a computer works is full to its current standard.

You can't write a dissertation unless you know the alphabet.

i figured that shit out when i was 6 or 7 years old without explicit instruction. before the obfuscation of phone apps you would have to lack any and all curiosity to not be right-clicking on everything in windows.

interface design should've been educating users instead of making a black box usable by toddlers.

Something I try to remind myself when I'm helping the tech illiterate is that not everybody had a family PC in the living room growing up. It can be a struggle sometimes.

The problem is our system isn't designed to educate people on anything other than to become wage cattle as fast as possible.

spoilerReminds me of how chickens are bred to grow in fast forward so they get to laying age faster, the chicken dies young because of this, so they just replace it with another chicken. They don't want to waste money on training the next chickens how to forrage, that's not their role in our society. They're a commodity, just like the general public is to capitalists.
