If you want to create a docile, obedient nation, first attack the arts so you deskill children of critical thinking. Once you’ve done that the people can be moulded as their rulers please. Beware this barbarism. It’s a path to demagoguery and authoritarianism

From the article comments: “Ms. Mishra landed a job in the end by reflecting on what brings her satisfaction, what her broader and more flexible skill set included, and how she could apply those skills in a different way from what she had envisioned for most of her life.”

“Some graduates described feeling caught in an A.I. “doom loop.” Many job seekers now use specialized A.I. tools like Simplify to tailor their résumés to specific jobs… At the same time, companies inundated with applicants are using A.I. systems to automatically scan résumés and reject candidates.”

Merrymac isn't a random social media account that I'm friendly with - I am a board member and volunteer. I'm physically there on the property almost every day so I can vouch for the quality of care they provide. It's a beautiful place where every animal is treated with so much love. ❤️
