This. (Offline too.)

Which generation did we really taught critical thinking to? In general, those "thinkers" or people with nice research skills (e.g. reading comprehension and other traits) were always a minority within each generation. And I agree there will be less now with AI. But we have no polls or measurement, so the title goes a little clickbaity, in resonance to the generalized discomfort towards a new technology that schools haven't accomodated yet (e.g. all kind of solutions are seen in the wild)

I reckon it was the same with arithmetislcs and calculators in the past. We were able to deal with that! (so that whatever proportion of people that graduates knowing arithmetics with each generation didn't shrink "too much".)

If we are considering possible scenarios, let's be optimistic too.

AI (discounting other problems like their ecological footprint) may not be that bad on our educational systems once we adjust...

    "Martin Fierro" by Jose Hernandez. Me and all my classmates thought it would be the most boring book. We were surprised. And it was full of teachings for soon-to-be adults.

    A sailor once told me the anchor tattoo represented their will to end up in the bottom of the sea if he ever drowned or their ship sinked. This was because, as he put it, the other option would be having their family members see his body in terrible shape.

    This person tended to tell exagerated stories, but still... I was young and believed it ever since. Can any other people confirm they heard the same? I would like to know :)

    Precisely! One has to look also for the wheels. She was turning away off him. Also, if he really felt threatened he would have first move to the side, not concerning himself with shooting. Everyone knows a bullet won't stop a car. And, secondly, to stop the car you would aim to the wheels probably but no officer did it... They were all concerned with terroricing the population and that's the reason behind this MURDER. Fuck nazis and pedophiles' apologists.

    Depends on how you want take it.. I don't believe the commenters refer really to people, they might be more like targeting Institutions (e.g. British Museum)... It all depends on the sensibility of the reader (like many arguments on the Internet)
