Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says
orrk@lemmy.world 1 month agoit’s not really that fascinating, of course the cheap and easy answer is a derivative of “beat it until it behaves”, a large part of the states still have the paddles in school

In the states? At least in mine, parents have to give permission for the school to paddle. Most districts don’t want the liability or the paperwork. At least in public ed.

do I have to go into the levels of fucked your comment still leave the US at? most of the first world has not just stopped school corporal punishment, no it’s just straight up illegal to beat your child as punishment.
If a parent here gave consent to corporal punishment, with a paddle no less, they would soon see their child in foster care and themselves in front of a judge.

I mean, it is fucked. But when we advocate against things that are fucked we have to be precise with the facts or else everything we say gets disregarded. [I speak up against this professionally - I am 100% on your side mate]
