Sticking with car dependence is a failure of imagination, particularly when the wide range of benefits of ending car dependence is so clear.

To quote Marx, AI teaching aids are "an instrument of torture, since the machine does not free the worker from work, but rather deprives the work itself of all content."
Interacting with the students is the content of teaching. I prefer that nothing take that away from me.

About half the time I think the most important bit of wisdom I’ve acquired over my adult life is ‘don’t confuse annoying people with being good at arguing’
They do often think they’re ’good at arguing’ because many conversations end with the other person opting out, which they erroneously interpret as ‘winning the argument’ rather than ‘being too annoying to talk to’
