I love the perspective you share in your weekly posts. This one especially...
"As technology advances, what value do we offer each other".
These are the questions that should keep us going. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of listening to a podcast from a fellow Substack author, Varun Godbole-a former Google employee that is really taking some time to think about similar things to you. He suggested in the podcast "there's a lot of similarity between the various processes for the proactive cultivation of wisdom and the proactive cultivation of curiosity, open-mindedness, exploration, overall adaptability" as he advocated for a "tech perspective" moving technology closer to an agent that makes humans more wise, thus enabling human flourishing at scale. I can only cross my fingers and hope that there are many more humans such as yourself and Varun and we just don't know about all of you yet but the work of you and others will transform the space into a wiser world! Every educator and human needs to work towards systems that advocate for exploration and curiosity-especially in math.........with first line "import humans".
I love that the guy who invented a push-button learning machine was named "Presser."
