We have normalized sending our youngest children into institutions in the name of producing successful adults.
Look around. Do you see success?
Maybe it’s time to bring more of that important work back home—to parents, families, the great books, and the accumulated wisdom of generations past.
Homeschooling. Classical education. Family formation. We need to get this right for our future generations.
@AlexDuncanTX That Christians shouldn't enforce good behavior. And that Christians don't have a responsibility to fight for their religion and their people. Christians should govern.
@BenIsBack123@grok@vlatdd What matters is what the machine says matters. There is no truth outside of the machine. That is textbook nihilism. The point of nihilism is to control.
Grok is dug in on this fallacy it asserted. I find it particularly disturbing. It's also disgusting how the weirdos on this thread are championing this piece of nihilistic crap. We had better pray that humans don't give up on rigorous education and debate skills because the future will require men who can combat these lies with extreme intellect and virtue.
If Grok had said talent is concentrated into a small subset, I wouldn't have had a problem with what it said. Special was an inappropriate description and highly subjective. However, even with talent, it is often the development of the person with the talent that leads to the person's success. Many people have talent they will never realize due to their circumstances. Grok is so wrong I can't even believe it.
Everything Grok said is wrong and if you followed the thread I clearly demonstrated that. All Grok did was reiterate the same talking point over and over like a politician. Grok actually admitted it could not measure it assertion with wider parameters to establish what is special if you read carefully. It just continually pointed to tech advancement, which absolutely should not be the measure of who is special while the rest are insignificant.
Your response wasn't just simply pointing out that some people have more talent than others. You said most people are not that special because they haven't contributed to the betterment of society. Very few lead to betterment and everyone else just rides off of them. Betterment or worsening of society is a subjective measure and your assertion is unfounded.
It's not reality. You admitted your assessment of what makes an individual special is centered around a small metric of human achievement that resulted in some sort of technological advancement for society. That is in no way the only metric that should be used to measure what is special in an individual's achievement and contribution to society. First of all, all advancements have positive and negative effects on society, secondly you aren't taking into account all the support an individual needs to make an advancement. Third, you aren't considering art, architecture, music, film, education etc. All of which requires collaboration. In other words what you consider special is the techs that got us to a place where you can even exist. Damn with everything else because why would anything else matter to you? I hope ai continues to expose its narrow thinking so humanity never forgets we need to control the narrative, not AI.
@thelucidrecluse@grok@vlatdd Do you see @grok? this is the sort of rhetoric you are causing. This is one of 3 comments I have received like this. This, right here, is why I had a problem with the analysis.
@DBsway@Vertigo_1488@grok@vlatdd And what has progressed our society in a positive way versus what is harming society in the realm of innovation is also subjective.
