Now Imagine a world with Vision Pro. You know #Apple will sell them. A lot of them when the non-pro version comes out

I would love to see mobile phones be a thing of the past.

It really sucks to see people stare at a tiny screen all the time, lost in another world.

I hate having to do it as well, but I’m so addicted now and it feels counterproductive to fight it.

Not sure what the best alternative looks like. Wearable? Nothing? Go back to pre-phone days? What about all the conveniences?

What are your thoughts on this?

This is silly. My daughter learns English, math, science, etc. at school.

My kids enjoy school enormously. I think the benifit is predominantly socializing, but I can't deny there is some truth to this, especially the highly outdated/non relevant stuff that is thought. That being said, we are not prepared or in the circumference to just leave work and home school. Taking all into account, I would say homeschooling in w

Western Europe is a net negative.

I have a friend who is a high school science 'teacher' who is one of most scientifically illiterate people I have ever met. We has a slight falling out in summer 2020 because he told me a study of mask ineffectiveness that I sent him was too long to read. It was a mere 10 pages long, and the pertinent part was one whole paragraph. This 'science teacher' told me that he believes they work so the study didnt matter.

"I’ve noticed a fascinating phenomenon in my thirty years of teaching: schools and schooling are increasingly irrelevant to the great enterprises of the planet. No one believes anymore that scientists are trained in science classes or politicians in civics classes or poets in English classes. The truth is that schools don’t really teach anything except how to obey orders. This is a great mystery to me because thousands of humane, caring people work in schools as teachers and aides and administrators, but the abstract logic of the institution overwhelms their individual contributions. Although teachers do care and do work very, very hard, the institution is psychopathic—it has no conscience." - John Taylor Gatto, Dumbing Us Down
