Well said! I agree with you about hyperbole although it can be both drama and reason. In fact I edited my comment a bit after reading yours. Two examples one

Well said! I agree with you about hyperbole although it can be both drama and reason.
In fact I edited my comment a bit after reading yours.
Two examples one is Churchill'/ warning in the 1930s that Hitler is evil, cannot be trusted etc. He was considered a fool who had destroyed his career until he was proven right.
Another modern example is Elon Musk's warning about AI. It may seem crazy and hyperbolic now but if he turns out to be right then it's dramatic and reasonable.
- forapurpose 9y agoAgreed, and your politeness is undeserved in response to my bit of snark, so thank you. I still strongly disagree that most of education is signaling/credentials, but we can follow your example and disagree respectfully.
