It is the true teacher who leaves the class knowing they have learned the most.

And there's growing evidence that the larger the amount of people in a given area or region the greater the potential for violence and Us versus them hate. It's not skynet I care about either! Mounting evidence shows the larger groups the larg potential for violence and hate

Interesting points I don't think that anything we create is going to kill or overpower us because of its own sentience but because we made it in the first place assuming we knew how to control it!

That sickness and death are so terrifying to people utterly confuses me because you're all going to have to deal with it at some point.
Until my "hidden" condition became very unhidden, same kind of assumptions also hurt. Revealed, it's an entirely different response. Very hurtful to make assumptions, yet I'm guilty of it too. We see our failings at times, yet rarely admit much less work to change. I wonder why.

I'm assuming you failed at being a good boy. I wasn't considered good myself. Worse ;-)
All college and my B.A. - 4.0 highest honors. I f'd up my MA with a second highest honor and 3.8 average.
I rarely am uninterested in anything but law, insurance, money and fiduciary science

Why I'm snarky about #AI hype of late
1. Artifice is of humans. So what's is intelligence and how is it qualified or quantified. Called smart a lot, I'm truly impossibly stupid far more often.
2. Seems limited to short term personal gain over long term human growth and unity.

That's horrible! I think it would have at least felt to me like I was constantly being disciplined for simply exisisting. :(

And you make an interesting point. I annoyed adults but made lots of friends in school. They were all the weirdos of course, and so it remains that way lol

LOL! Good evening from Southern Arizona! I'm out of pain. What a difference THAT makes, huh? How's Germany? It's a political awful here but the weather, OMG, gorgeous.

Same school, same teacher saw me cry as I met a block in arithmetic. "Don't worry honey, you'll never need it" instead of sitting for five minutes and helping.
Both me and that brother were also sent to a counselor . I liked shop and bio. He liked home ec. Fear of gay much?

I truly hope that despite ever worsening education in the USA bias against learning styles and human interests have changed since. One school, my bro M had a speech impediment. It was deemed low intelligence and he was treated poorly. His intellect was not impaired in the least.

As for moving constantly, maybe I was hyperactive, who cares. And as for disregard for authority, they got that one wrong. I don't acknowledge authority as anything but that which is taken not earned, given at will. Different than respect, which I work much harder on 🙂

I still have pressured speech, and do this stuff. People think it's rude or if I'm talking how can I possibly listen? Clearly they did not grow up immigrant New Yorkers who all yell at once and still hear and see allThat's a cultural mannerism and skill, not clinical. Who agrees?

I was always that obnoxious student who sat up front and engaged constantly. "Sounds like ADHD" someone said in later years. May be, but I was hyperfocused, not deficient of attention. I wasn't doing it rudely. It's cultural and familial x love of learning. Not a disorder.

My two F's? primary physics class. I liked physics but then Xaviera Hollander's "The Happy Hooker" became the obsession of that year. What can I say? Typing teacher and I did not like each other. I rebelled. Next class, I clocked a 120 no error wpm. Behavior? Still the same! You?

A funny thought: How were your report cards/grades? I never received a grade less than a B, mostly As, and two Fs which are kinda funny reasons. But turn the paper over? HA! "Disregards authority. Interrupts. Talks and moves constantly, asks and answers every question. Difficult.

I keep saying the same thing!!!! The beauty of online communication is you can walk away and not have to stare and follow you can simply block not read AKA change the freaking channel.
