It’s a story told to keep the baby from crying.

The relationship between word and reality is optionally entirely arbitrary. If we want to communicate then we have that option, but if we want to bullshit then we can do that too.

The only way around that is a legal court or formal peer review. Which is why we invented them.

And we don’t have those here.

98% of the population believes everything they’re told and obeys all the rules. It’s that 2% you need to watch.

I did a speed bump out of gravel and sprayfoam at 3am back a couple years ago. It worked ok for a couple weeks.

I think that AI is making the agenda of these institutions more visible. Schools that don’t care about teaching. Students that don’t care about learning. Businesses that don’t care about the well-being of customers or employees. It’s all becoming more obvious.

Maybe we’ll come up with new stories to cover that up in the next couple decades. Then we can go back to pretending

There was a time when universities were about learning. For the first couple months at least.

The university died when it ceased to be about education. It’s about money now. AI fulfills that agenda just fine.
