Why can't you teach them directly?
- VLM 10y agoWhat we define as "teach" in the west is specifically designed to produce and select interchangeable factory drones with no social skills or creativity. Consider the K12 stereotype of filling out arithmetic worksheets or conjugation of foreign language verbs. Then we stack rank the kids by obedience to authority which usually anti-correlates with creativity and social skills to determine their educational path, and eventually give the "winners" jobs where their management are confused why they have no social skills and no creativity. Imagine a classroom of employees head down silently circling multiple choice worksheets "circle the correct two characteristics of creativity in each set". That's how we'd "teach". Even worse, we'd probably pick the class teachers by who did the best on the last generation of social skills worksheets. Meanwhile the creative or socially skilled are going to tend to not have corporate jobs. Or they'll demand more than minimal money.
