none of modern life is easily reproduced its a huge mass of preconditions millennia of conventions adapted and grown from their original shapes, one supporting another ways of learning that had to be learned and im thinking probably this is not a human-level growth

one way to think about it every child starts a barbarian the process of making it human is acculturation, deploying a cultural package developed over History in a way civilization is just that bundle it has material components too yes, hammers that make tools that make robots

but the Bundle of acculturation is key I was thinking about how a Wold-dweller would be totally alienated today possibly nothing would make sense their simple package is the root of ours maybe but we're living in the branches

The solution to your fear would be integration. Just as mentors use writing in lessons, so they would use new technologies. 1. Prioritize children 2. Don’t sacrifice effectiveness for convenience
