If public schools want to prepare children for their life ahead, they should be doing space repetition tasks and teach them how to sort objects as quickly as possible. Add in some life skills into there, and they will be well prepared to work in the future's Amazon fulfillment centers.

Technology tends to spread life improvement faster and wider than education and capital. We now have access to things that were too expensive even for the rich, or too complex even for the educated. We should use our new superpowers to invent a future we like instead of complaining about change. What could a motivated group of people do in order to be as self sustaining as possible in the future? I think there are lots of ideas here.

- Nasrudith 5y agoThat is quite the foolish attachment to the goddamned tediously popular hysterical technodystopian complex. The kind that sees Black Mirror in a shitty VR clone of Second Life that copies Microsoft Bob. I haven't seen anybody both bemoan a fate and suggest actions that would specifically lock them into it by massive over-specialization meaning they are unprepared for anything else. All while doing education wrong by even below mediocre standards. Education kind of has decades of lead time - trying to specialize to any specific job at the primary level is doomed to failure. At best you can get fields of fields emphasized. Education if it is to prepare has to cover at least a path to all jobs.
