lol *build the skills needed to debate a stubborn ai* that just blew my mind

@sergey1 told me a great story. When he moved to US from Russia and was in CS program, the dept chair told him to take all philosophy classes. He already knew the CS, but had zero exposure to western thinking in Russia and this advice changed his entire life trajectory (and we became close friends as a direct result).

and yet the education system by and large has failed the notion of critical thinking with how it teaches and tests... the greatest alpha for many might lie in the texts of old and the new papers that are published.
