Sorry, I did not mean more, but better education, so that by the time you get out of school, you can use your brain. That includes for example little things like reading food stickers to judge wether the ingredients are appropriate or not. In that context, I&#x27;m thinking about common sense, really. Now, common sense can&#x27;t be taught, but it can be destroyed with pointless exercices, of which teaching programmes are chock full of.<p>Once you have a certain base knowledge (which wouldn&#x27;t necessarily be the same for everyone, not sure about that), the brain, if given the freedom to do so, starts exploring possibilities, all by itself. Children need to have interesting, fascinating things to play with. Learning the tools then becomes part of the games and starts happening automatically.<p>&gt; sending more people to college doesn&#x27;t pay off. (Especially if you have to pay for the schooling with loans.)<p>That&#x27;s an economic problem, i.e. one humans have created themselves, thus it can, with the appropriate effort, be solved. In the perverse case of american student loans, it&#x27;s just one issue in a whole system that cannot be profitable for more than a tiny fraction of its constituents.<p>&gt; About half of new US college graduates are not doing a job that requires their education.<p>So now that AI is taking over, let these people finally do something with their knowledge that they enjoy. (edit) That means stop with this productivity madness. Creativity, be it graphical, musical, philosphical, mathematical, whatever, is not productive. Let the machine be productive, let the human mind roam free.<p>&gt; Teach someone to do something, now one person can do it. Teach a computer to do something, now millions of computers can do it.<p>We are still a long way off artificial human intelligence, for a very simple reason: we do not understand ourselves. How do you plan on replicating our intellect as long as the same is misunderstood?
