I don’t particularly like the idea of introducing AI early to my kids. It just feels damaging. I believe that “education should recapitulate civilization” in that the brain most naturally makes sense of the universe the same way human civilization did. Moving through the same forms in miniature, with the most recent advances in technology last, as kinds of stages of development. Kind of like the old “ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny” – which yes, isn’t literally true (but even human embryos do have a tail that shyly retreats).
damaging = educating/staging/recapitualing-civ ness.. children.. any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do.. cancerous distraction to their not yet scrambled ness.. to the dance

need 1st/most: means/tech/ai (nonjudgmental expo labeling) to undo hierarchical listening – so we can hear what’s already on each heart as global detox in order to org around legit needs
intellectness as cancerous distraction we can’t seem to let go of.. there’s a legit use of tech (nonjudgmental expo labeling).. to facil a legit global detox leap.. for (blank)’s sake.. and we’re missing it
“The latest models are basically incomprehensible to talk to once you get them into a long enough and deep enough intellectual conversation. Stuffed with jargon and jumps. Very scary stuff. Extremely inhuman. Obviously closer to an interface with other AIs than people.” –

findings (aka: the things i can’t unsee) from on the ground ness deep dive and why we need tech w/o judgment
ie: the dance won’t dance unless/until it’s 1\ all of us 2\ legit free
nothing to date (ever since that day) has gotten to that root of problem
legit freedom will only happen if it’s all of us.. and in order to be all of us.. has to be sans any form of measuring, accounting, people telling other people what to do
the thing we’ve not yet tried/seen: the unconditional part of left to own devices ness
