here to help them figure out how to do it.
But in fact, being told how to do it won't work.
One has to actually learn that process, right?
You can know how somebody climbs El Capitan without being able to climb a damn thing.
You have to go climb yourself to learn how it's done.
And it has worked very well.
Our kids have their eyes wide open.
They do not have
anxiety, even though frankly, looking at the world they're entering, one could easily forgive them for, for being terrified.
That's not their experience because they've grown up looking at it and it's not going to come as a shock to them when they emerge into that world.
And, you know, maybe what we've done as a prototype, but I would recommend that people take something like this approach because you're not doing your kids any favors by insulating them from a world that will be as bad or worse when they get to it.
Yeah, not only do they need more in their lives, but they need experience that would tell them what it is like to actually build something.
Because building something, if it's at all complex, will force you to balance competing concerns, for example.
It makes it very hard to be a utopian if you've actually had to make something work.
And so, in some sense...
The place that I actually do feel sympathetic for this movement is that I do think they have been betrayed.
They have not been provided a world that educates them properly, that exposes them to things that would make them highly capable.
And so in some sense, their anger is understandable.
But their anger is so deeply misinformed about what a solution looks like that we have an obligation not to listen.
We actually have to address this in a way that might work rather than give in to demands that will cause disaster.
