Do you imagine that we just somehow evolve capabilities beyond it? or do we eventually produce universally perfect software solutions and leave it at that?

Also, what if we increase the calories of the animal we choose to slaughter, say we start raising massive whale-sized animals instead, would that tip the scales?

Even that is the generous interpretation. Imagine instead of just their regular (or lack of) hunger signals, people had an alarm constantly ringing in the head telling them to eat all the time, that was only ever silenced if they over ate. The persistence of it pushes it in the direction of mental torture.

Yes, technically it can be overcome, but it is a huge tax on your life.

The truth is we can never really know what someone else's inner experience is.

> Theorize - I always thought cats who look at a gap for a while before jumping are theorizing if/how to make the jump.

My current iteration is just a "transfer" SyncThing folder that is on all my devices. It's not clean or convenient but at least its incredibly fast.

But I wouldn't dismiss an entire form of complex expression because of an inability or unwillingness to engage with it at its level.

A movie is the visuals, the acting, the sound, the camera movements/editing, etc and how it all comes together to essentially give you a 2d slice of a person's realized thoughts.

I find it incredibly surreal to read current research on how my own mind might be working and finding parts of it quite relatable and insightful.

Also, with higher wages comes increased interest in the position and more ability for schools to actually say no to and filter out bad teachers. It's hard to turn away a warm body when there are teacher shortages everywhere.

Anecdotally, I got very lucky with a newly built public school. I had class sizes of < 15 and overwhelmingly positive experiences as well as one of the best classroom experiences of my life with a retired physics/math professor teaching us 3d geometry and discrete maths.

It was like learning in a theoretical sandbox, having every fleeting thought or hypothetical exploration answered with ease, all completely out of the curriculum scope.

That to me is what i imagine education could be if there was enough money in the system and if people actually cared about the education of future generations.
