Right.
Right.
That's a huge difference.
And yeah, and I think just the other part of that I think is really important to talk about is the fact that Gen Z is the first generation in human recorded history that has scored lower on these standardized cognitive measures of reasoning and math and language.
is the first sign that we have seen as a real objective empirical sign that we are a society in regression.
We have never seen a current generation perform worse on these measures than a previous generation.
we need to fix that yeah that's scary that is a major problem and we need to correct and go back to prioritizing human to human learning rather than screened human learning because it's not working yeah well now a lot of kids are learning on ai screens like on their computer so you probably don't like that right
I mean, it's not about like or dislike.
It's just about what works, right?
Like if we're going to spend, if we're going to invest a bunch of money as a society into an education system, which is our tax dollars, this isn't just money that appears, right?
Like we bust our butts to then pay taxes and those taxes go to fund schools.
Right.
Schools are supposed to be teaching our children who are going to be taking care of us when we're old and dying, right?
We need, and running society when we're old, then we want those kids to have some skills that they remember how to use.
We want them to have some reasoning and some knowledge.
And hopefully our tax dollars went to good use.
Just like with...
absorbing your your supplements right like you pay a whole bunch of money for supplements you don't want them to mostly be excreted as waste for sure you want the stuff to get into the body same with learning and knowledge so we just spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year as a society and maybe a billion dollars on education every year of a new generation we need to make sure that that education is working and if it's not working and sticking
then we're going to have a bunch of, we're literally training a bunch of adults, new adults to be unprepared for life because we're not giving them the skills they need to learn in a way that they can receive and integrate them into practice.
Yeah.
