software, yapping, & asking "why?" 👩‍💻🎶🎤😴🔁

as an American, i see this as a cultural issue with no simple fix. it ties into a public school system that undervalues arts, humanities, and critical thinking, alongside an economic system that forces parents to work multiple jobs instead of raising their children. both factors are crucial because they nurture emotional intelligence and critical thinking, helping individuals be less susceptible to manipulation make better decisions later in life. remedy that, remedy more user errors.

this reply (and thread) has been incredibly thought provoking. it leaves open question in my mind: how exactly can we reintroduce critical thinking, embracing of people as they change opinions over time, and making art & are there emerging opportunities to take action and effect change?
