Shallow learning gives information control over you. Empowerment comes with depth of understanding.

The nature nurture debate is mostly settled. It’s both. The next big debate is whether intelligence is computable or uncomputable. My bet is that the answer is also both.

Deep understanding requires that you change yourself in response to information. Personalized learning shifts the information so you never have to change.

AI aces tests but can’t transfer that into real world understanding. When we accelerate human test scores with screen-based learning, we should question whether we’re doing the same thing to ourselves.

The failure of social science is proof that the mind can’t be computed.

Critical thinking is about analyzing your relationship to information, not the information itself.

Learning can’t be defined by what’s easy to measure or replicate anymore. It has to be defined by what separates human intelligence from machines.

We should rise to the complexity of reality, not retreat to the simplicity of games.

It's time to remove laptops from classrooms. 24 experiments: Students learn more and get better grades after taking notes by hand than typing. It's not just because they're less distracted—writing enables deeper processing and more images. The pen is mightier than the keyboard.

A universal insight: “But we can’t self-actualise alone. We become ourselves through other people.”
Girls are less likely than boys to want marriage. Single women are far more likely than men to say they aren't dating due to “more important priorities”. And while most young single men are open to dating, only 36% of young women are. I wrote about why: https://t.co/jD7SWXgbzq

Screens may become the best way to optimize what’s computable in us. Schools will remain the best way to develop what’s uncomputable.

The more your brain predicts a pattern: • I am this kind of person • This is how the world works ...the more you notice things that confirm it. You become trapped in a loop. The only way to break out is through error, caused by something that doesn’t fit your expectations.

Fools admire simplicity that denies complexity.
Dumb people admire complexity. Smart people admire simplicity.
