thought was obvious but to clarify: ending all school with decent alternatives would probably end up hugely helping our fight against global warming. can you imagine what our civilization could do if as kids we were trained how to actually think in a non-traumatizing environment?

School as it currently exists is one of the worst things about civilization. If I had to choose between stopping global warming or ending all school (with decent alternatives) I would probably end all school.

School isn’t traumatizing for everyone. Not everyone has your experiences. No system is perfect, but the net gain for mass education far outweighs the cons.

I wasn't traumatized by school, but like 90% of my friends report experiences in school that seem awful to me

Not everyone is traumatized by school. Some people face far more trauma at home or in the streets on the way to school than they do in school. Argument should be for more flexibility and not abolishment.

This is that "if someone offered me $100 million or a book on how to make $100 million, I'd take the book. Real ones understand" Tweet except even dumber somehow. In fairness though these Tweets are a good case study in the failure of the education system

I promise you global warming is more traumatizing than school for literally every single living being on Earth

There is nothing more important to do than learn how to think in a traumatizing situation.
