Agreed. Curiosity, and I would add critical thinking and creativity will always be important. I think if we foster those we will be in good shape.

Mind boggling to think how universities will and should react. If they have to start fostering critical thinking and curiosity vs running through the motions with standardized testing it will change the whole system. Isn’t the only way to check whether you have a “conversation” with a real person to have that conversation with that person? And soon thereafter have that conversation in person too?
