@Matt_Pinner Yes. College as a gatekept source of learning is mostly obsolete. As AI advances, human skills it can’t replace—trades, caregiving, etc..will be worth more. Schooling ≠ education: you can have rites of passage and core peer experiences elsewhere through work, travel, and more
People are having a totally normal response to a highly intense, stressful, uninspiring culture—i.e., the environment we live in. If we can alter the environment to be more harmonious and at ease with our nature, I think we won't see these kinds of illnesses.

"Sit down all day in fluorescent lights and stare at an unmotivated teacher..."
"If this kid doesn't lock in like a zombie, we medicate them."
The problem isn't the child - it's the environment we've created.
@MmisterNobody The real Alex Jones died and was replaced. I know the truth. I have the documents. there’s a hidden coded message that reveals the truth if you play Info Wars backwards, you can hear it.
The fear is that AI will become conscious and take us over. But what if that fear is a projection? We’ve already enslaved ourselves. What if the real fear is that we might be the ones that become conscious and “take over” ourselves ?
No one’s coming to save us. It’s only us.
“We’re so over-stimulated, so bombarded by spectacle and stimulation and WTF-ness, that a UFO could land next to the White House and little green men could stick a probe up Elon Musk’s backside, and it would just be another weird day in Trumpland…”
I love how Politicians like Schumer think a ‘government shutdown’ is a threat. Yeah, shut it down and keep it down. give everyone a chance to realize how little we actually need these parasites meddling in our lives.
@VivekGRamaswamy There are infinite ways to learn—and the best we’ve got is sitting in a classroom listening to some loser drone on about pointless drivel? Kids deserve better. The phones aren’t the problem the schools are
Get the schools out too. If we’re supposed to be innovative in the U.S., why are we still forcing kids through a Prussian military-style indoctrination system that rewards arbitrary, mindless obedience and crams irrelevant info down their throats in a homogenous way?
