      I really do think public education is important but the extent to which it has caused people to smugly embrace simplifications of reality like "2+2=4, there are only two sexes, Columbus discovered America" really, really makes me resent it

      The private education they'd have goten if it didn't exist would be far worse

      yeah, that's what I have to tell myself, but I feel like there just has to be another way better than just lying to students

      I seriously do feel like writing this up at some point -- I think this is a neurodiversity thing I've seen so much stuff lecturing educators -- and adults in general, parents especially -- never to "talk over the heads" of kids, to adjust their language to an appropriate level

      And maybe it's because I was "gifted" and "accelerated" from a young age anyway but I could always tell when this was being done to me and I hated it What I liked best was people who had the understanding and patience to actually, genuinely explain things

      But failing that, I *like* being talked over the head of It's a challenge, it's a game TH White wrote very vividly about this in The Sword and the Stone, young Wart learning more from Merlyn muttering to himself in his lab than from his actual lessons

      It is a game and it's a fun game, it's something I did constantly as a kid Letting the adults talk and then running to the encyclopedia or, later, the Internet to try to catch up Trying to figure out exactly how much I needed to learn to be able to fake-it-till-you-make-it

      Steven Johnson's 2005 book Everything Bad Is Good For You talked about a shift in culture that signals our generation's growing comfort with "information overload" Straight exposition on TV shows is out of style, the direct "As You Know Bob" infodump

      Characters on TV "talk over the audience's head" to a far greater degree Just let the genius scientists have their conversation, deliberately use difficult jargon that you don't define, let the audience try to catch up

      And be confident that whether the jargon is accurate or not, whether it's real or entirely made up, they'll catch the *point* ("This operation Dr. House is doing would normally kill the patient but if he's right about this other thing it will save the patient's life instead")

          That's fun, it keeps you engaged Always being in the act of adjusting and reframing and translating, as a generation that learned to adjust to having a dozen tabs open on our desktop at all times Having it actually explained just feels so *slow* by comparison

          (I don't like it when they say it as a moral panic thing or a bad thing but to a certain extent I think it's accurate to say that as a population "technology gave us ADHD" and that's actually pretty cool)

          Dr. House was a diagnostician not a surgeon. He never did surgery.
