The Elephant in the Classroom

Framework For Human Truth

If something is true for you, is it true for everyone else? Why can two otherwise reasonable people arrive at very different conclusions? In my senior year of high school I produced an original philosophical framework for analyzing "the Truth." I believe that to move beyond petty disagreement and into meaningful resolution we need to have a better, more realistic way of understanding what exactly it means for something to be "True."

The Elephant in the Classroom

In the current moment it feels like every field is being disrupted by AI, and that includes even the most stubborn of institutions. In the field of education, we are at an inflection point: adopt or reject? In this episode, I argue for the embrace of machine learning tools by educators and the education system at large, and I explain how the two actually go together much better than you might think.

Futureproofing Humanity: Future

To conclude this series on how humans will have to adapt to survive the future, I wanted to further examine my ambitious idea for a technology which connects us in an even deeper way than ever before. To do this, I will try to resolve five essential obstacles to implementing something like this. Music Credit: "(Ambient) Realization", Kirk Osamayo, FMA, CC-BY.

Futureproofing Humanity: The Present

The present day sees humans more capable of changing ourselves and our environment than ever before. So, what can we do to change for the better? In this episode, I speculate on the adoption of a powerful new communication tool and social ethos which could create this positive change.   *Note* I accidentally chose a background song with a voice that plays periodically.    Music Credit & Sources

Futureproofing Humanity: The Past

Nukes, Bioweapons, and logistics collapse: these are just three threats that incredibly powerful human technologies have spawned. How must we as humans change our behaviors, society, or biology to use the power we attain through technology for good? Over three episodes, I will look at what makes for a humanity that can safeguard against our own destructive abilities, and what the future of our species might look like. Music Credit & Sources
