I feel at 46 I should be doing more and learning more new things. I do continuing education and certifications. Then I see people in their 60's that rant they got a degree forty years ago and know nothing new. It's going to be a great sadness when we as a society don't get, don't STOP LEARNING.
Agreed If you stop learning, then it’s equivalent to not being present. You don’t want to get trapped in bubbles with the same information. You won’t progress as a result and continue to repeat the same information as though it’s a new discovery
Again: there is a 21% and rising rate of individuals in the United States who can neither read nor write as of 2024, due to the removal of phonics from all curriculae in the mid 2000s.
The problem is all the red state homeschooled they're stupid children so they never learned how to read or write or history just like Elon said retarded
Quiet think the same way, but im more of tgose who cannot challenge their beliefs, questionize, reflect, explore, improve mistakes, take another step, instead humanity rely on the basics and resufe to move on, so you keep hearing the same shit over and over and over again.
And also those who cannot read and write, because intentionally Republican-starved US public schools in red states are producing those too. I that this is a scarier problem.

OK but I can see some really profoundly funny parenting decisions being made based upon this quote. Gaslight your child so that they learn not to trust you!
Sadly, it's so true. It's as if ignorance is upside down. These people are not 'ignorant' in the common meaning. They are now 'ignorant' in their pseudo-enlightened, 'do your own research' ignorance. Sorry for the word salad. I hope this makes sense.
I mean we’re out of stages where people literally don’t understand what they’re reading so that’s a whole new level of literacy like a fifth grade level of reading type
I'm not sure I agree. Republicans since Reagan have done everything in their power to reduce Public Education to a Fox News meme. My kids did 12 YEARS of school without EVER having a book to bring home. ONLY ONE SET for the entire school, teachers used their salaries to buy PENCILS and PAPER. 👿
Like the antivaxers, people don't understand history. MAGA cannot see its fascist tendencies because they simply have no idea what that means. Just as antivaxers have no idea what life was like before vaccination.
Toddler’s book Future Shock was very prescient. Information is crucial for control. That can be perverted to be misinformation to control. We are in the information sphere now.
Yeah yeah but the already existing term for those people is 'proudly ignorant' which is better because it doesn't take a descriptor for either a real disability or a lack of opportunity to acquire a skill and distort its meaning to involve choice.

Just putting this out here. Verified by Snopes. A Gallup analysis published in March 2020 looked at data collected by the U.S. Department of Education in 2012, 2014, and 2017. It found that 130 million adults in the country have low literacy skills, meaning that more than half (54%) of Americans
The third album from Elvis Costello And The Attractions was supposed to be called
Emotional Fascism.
Of course the record company had no intention of putting out a record with that title for alm of time. The album is called Armed Forces.
Emotional Fascism was printed as two words on the LP sleeve...

We must all push ourselves to constantly learn
That’s really good - practical and insightful.
Thanks for sharing!
Good morning!
Your post still has my mind spinning in different directions of thought, in good ways.
How are you?
I hope you are doing well!
Yes, indeed.
May it be a good one for you!
Thank you for this.
I remember because I just went through his bibliography

CORPORATION ARE NOT HUMAN OR CITIZENS.
This is too optimistic.
All good and still makes perfect sense 👍🏼

Since when is reading at better than 6th grade considered elitist? SMH

JFC.
That the U.S. is ranked 125th behind countries without effective education systems with a literacy *rate* of 86% is a national shame
But changing the name of a gulf is important

Future Shock and The Third Wave were groundbreaking at the time, especially for those working in the nascent tech industries
Maybe time to revisit…
You end up with adults who entirely lack the skill, or only come to it after much suffering…
It ain’t rocket science, just lying liars telling the same lies in heavy rotation!
