Nice, thanks for sharing your experience.
I’ve only known a few go through St John’s and they are all very intelligent, yet partially disconnected from modern life, sort of like the Amish.

Yeah, I was recently introduced to Bonhoeffer, his insight is incredible and the fact that similar mistakes are taking place today.
Peter Turchin is as close to Hari Seldon I think we’ll have, his models point to a lot of turmoil in the future.

I want someone to do a study of people who graduate from St johns vs people from say nyu or similar and how they function in today’s society.
- Comment on Microsoft is making every Windows 11 PC an AI PC 1 week ago:
Someone I work with puts every question they have into GPT. They are completely incapable of having an original thought anymore.
GPT is causing real life brain rot for the general public.

The US just can’t seem to get over the Confederacy.
I think we failed in the re-education process and should have adopted something similar to post WWII Germany and crushing out nazism.

Not every company allows uncontrolled software. Sometimes you have to like with the hammer you were given.

I use notepad just about every day to dump some kind of information temporarily as to not cause a massive formatting fuck up in word or excel or whatever.

That sounds dystopian
- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 month ago:
I think it definitely depends on the persons needs. I use my phone for maps when I am going somewhere I am unfamiliar with. I use it for pod casts and audio books all the time. I use it for checking my bank account. Could I use something else to do these? Sure, but do I have access to all of the secondary devices to accomplish all of the above, not always. So yeah, the smart phone did become the catch all for a ton of daily processes, and I don’t have to carry 10 devices anymore.

- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 2 months ago:
But that is what CEO’s want. They want to pay for a near super human to do all of the different skill sets ( hiring, firing, finance, entry level engineering, IT tickets, etc) and it looks like it is starting to work. Seems like solid engineering students graduating recently have all been struggling to land decent starting jobs. I’ll grant it’s not as simple as this explanation, but I really think the wealth class are going to be happy riding this flaming ship right down into the depths.
