I mention it every episode.

That's right, yeah.

I like it when it's like, yeah, you do.

Anyway, two drinks.

One of the things that you do as a teacher is you disseminate information, give them information.

Arguably the most important part of teaching is not the information aspect of it, you're teaching skills.

So when I was a drama teacher, what you were doing is you were teaching skills to kids so they knew how to be creative.

They knew how to structure and create improvisations, long form improvisations, plays, how to be more realistic on stage, et cetera.

What you're doing is teaching people how to think critically.

The problem comes if we don't do that.

These skills are not intuitive.

They have to be learned.

Because when I look at some of these kids and you know, you look at some people who debate these kids on campuses and you see the kids get angry and upset.

And then invariably the comments on YouTube is like, oh, kid gets owned or whatever else.

And I go, actually, I think we all now need to be a little bit more adult.

I've been guilty of this.

I hold my hands up and go, it's not the fault of the kid.

It's the fault of the system producing it.

Because if it's just one kid being produced who can't argue, can't think critically, you can go, well, the kid wasn't listening or maybe they weren't a good student or whatever it may be.

But the fact that we're producing legions of people who can't think critically, that's not the people's fault who are getting produced.
