competition model only works in urban environments

I live in a rural area, my kids went to Montessori. 30 mins drive each way for me.

And of course there is the Internet now. It is not a drop-in replacement, but for some kids and some subjects it works very well.

We can have regulation, education requirements, and standards while still encouraging healthy competition.

TBF, I am critical of Luigi and find myself having to tread on thin ice with my opinons

TBF, there is a system in the US that tends to enforce mediocrity, spends a lot of money on bloated administration, and is both fearful of competition and willing to resort to politically dirty tricks to maintain their education monopoly.

I remember a Steve Jobs interview in Wired many years ago, he said his wish was for a group of energetic people graduating college to be able to start a school, just as readily as they could start a restaurant or a landscaping business -- both of which, it should be pointed out, are regulated industries with licensing and safety standards.

merciles ridicule

... only entrenches people in their positions

Especially for religious identity and other identity politics.

The way to flip such positions is to provide role models, people who are still clearly identified in the group, but who embrace -- to the degree possible -- tolerant liberal democratic evidence-based social structures.

Greene has introduced a bill to outlaw “weather modification and geoengineering”

Okay, so her reasons for putting this forward are because she is a grown woman with a Sky Daddy.

But she's right, in this case, for two reasons.

  1. IMO as an engineer seeing how casually and quickly we are putting increasingly capable AI shit into fucking everything ... some regulations to control things like weather modification, geoengineering, and godlike intelligence are a pretty good idea.

  2. She does not seem to realize that dumping gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere very much counts as "geoengineering"
