@zarazhangrui Actually in my work in reimagining education, this is exactly what we propose for young people as well!
“Start with a real-world problem. Figure out what knowledge you need. Then go backwards to learn it.”
Young people also need a reason and motivation to learn something.
@azizfaarah My great grandfather’s name was Calicawl - named after the gazelle. I’ve never met him but family lore has that he was a tall and slender man who had similar coloring as the gazelle.
@Andrew_Akbashev Ergo, I have many neural pathways established from thinking my way through problems.
Oy vey… I truly fear for a society that already doesn’t read much, and now isn’t even going to read the essential reading for their college courses, and write their own thoughts about it. Sigh
@Andrew_Akbashev I’m not even an AI snob. I’ve used ChatGPT before. I’ve also used encyclopedias, collected research papers, read them with tears in my eyes ( the struggle was real and it made me!), synthesized the information that I read, and then used it in my research papers.
@ojenotoj I have absolutely done the same with my son when he was younger.
Even now, we still watch our favorites every now and then together, and get geeked about our favorite show coming out with a new season.
If something’s not for you, but bring others joy, just let it be.
@safiyaaaay I don’t know what’s worse … the colonial wet dream or the delulu of 2 men doing any of that to an island with a population of 87,000 people, like wtf lol
