I just did. Ee zed pee zed

Why don't you just stop them?

Do clankers often say "let me just"?

I like that. Sounds like a reasonable lead.

If only there were some kind of equivalent online. I wouldn't know what that would even look like though.

One of my old jobs, one of the leads declared that if you suggested "why don't you just" then you were immediately responsible for the task.

"Why don't you just rewrite it in Java?"

"Let us know how that goes"

...Silence...

Dem Clanker speech ain't welcome in these parts boah /j

Yar, magic isn't real.

Nobody just....

I think it's pretty naive to think education can combat the inherent flaws in human congnition that corporations take advantage of. It's not a person vs ignorance; it's a person vs teams of people that understand psychology and design to make it more effective in very subtle ways.

I also think that this is an individualistic solution to a systemic issue. The system will improve its abilities way faster and to a greater extent than humans are capable of dealing with. Education of one cannot keep up with the teams of educated people paid to make things that surpass that education. It would be like saying educating voters can overcome gerrymandering. It's not useless, but it's not going to make a meaningful impact.

What to put in its place to deal with this, you might ask. I'm not sure it's more than a moral panic at this point, honestly. Your specific example didn't contain a citation so I have no way of evaluating if it's something I'd take seriously. If I did take it as a valid point, I'd start thinking about how to change the systems. We're not going to get better humans. We might have a chance, albeit small, to get better systems.
