Is automation really humane, or is this a misinterpretation? Automation is always thought of as a humane endeavour. Ridding humans of dull, boring, dangerous, and meaningless jobs has always been the goal. But is automation actually humane? From my diagnosis, no, its not. The mere administration of automation is inhumane, and many factors support this argument. This episode will teach you why auto...

The way we’ve all been talking about automation is totally incorrect. But why? Automation has been the supposed seismic shift in the economy. We were told by economists and futurists alike that AI, robots, and other technologies would replace low-skill, low-wage workers, forcing them on a path of meaninglessness and universal basic income survival. However, this notion is very narrow. This episode...

If you feel that things are stagnant, here's a breakdown of why that is the case.   Innovation has always been thought of as assuredly exponential. But in recent decades, things have changed. Markets have started to respond to incremental improvements rather than risky ideas, and thus, companies and startups are gravitating towards the same thing, again and again. With that, we are reaching a...

TikTok has taken over the social media landscape. Never before has a platform been as influential and powerful on populations far and wide. Yet there exist many problems that TikTok causes and exacerbates.    US officials have become incrementally louder in their attempts to get some kind of ban or regulation on TikTok. Fears that American data is flowing to the CCP, and that American po...

In the 21st century, "modern" schooling systems are outdated, stagnant, and don't take advantage of the latest science and technology. As such, we are setting contemporary students up for failure, as our future requires people with dynamic skillsets that are unfound in current classrooms.   Education 2.0 is the most important societal overhaul we will ever undertake. Simply put, without this...

This episode is dedicated to my thoughts about machine rights.    Looking at the progression of artificial intelligence, it’s clear that a point may come — indeed, it may already have passed — where wider society must grant an AI basic “human” rights.    Machine rights are not granting rights to run-of-the-mill digital or physical. This is redundant and useless, a waste of time...

This episode is dedicated to understanding the history of education and how it evolved into the current stagnated, cookie-cutter institution.    Schooling was, at first, a place to create better workers.

This episode is dedicated to my thoughts about the current state of modern education.
