I get the horror at the initial realization that life is this hard for *anybody,* but elites need to understand that their role is helping create viable, sustainable and irrevocable paths *out,* not pumping out gameable patches that rarely help anybody achieve escape velocity
This means helping people: - build real marketable skills - own specific assets that are prerequisites for participating in the skilled economy - move around so that they can capture the best opportunities for someone with the skills that they have
while it's certainly the best individual choice in the short term, I can't help but think it's not great if the only path out of poverty is to go move to Those Five Cities and join the metropolitan rat race the communities in flyover towns matter too
And have you ever actually looked at how Those Five Cities live? That's called poverty with higher numbers attached.
Why should they have to leave their birthplace, where their entire family lives? There should always at least be the option there - either opportunity needs to be wellsprung everywhere, or someway else to provide dignity needs to be instituted that goes beyond menial labor.
Why should they have to do anything? A lot of people are born into industry towns that burn out when the global market shifts. It's not nice, it's not fair, it's just the reality.

Currently watching your review/summary of Minsky's Inventive Minds. Good thoughts. We sort of naturally structured a lot of learning in our house around these ideas. You hit on something that I also have observed--that introducing kids to ideas without the requisite vocabulary...
has created better/longer/more interesting learning associations. Anyway, I'm enjoying your own feedback and summary of Minsky. Will be buying his book and checking it out. Hope you post other videos in the future; especially if about nature of learning/teaching.
Waiting for Chris Arnade to show up and go "But these are their homes where their families are and they don't want to leave..."
We also need to stop encouraging the opportunities (jobs) they have from moving away from them. Some movement will happen anyway, but we shouldn't spend tax money encouraging it.
