Hello friends. I am new to Bluesky. I want to introduce myself a little bit. My PhD was in mathematics education. I have also studied pure math, physics, psychoanalysis & philosophy. I now study the Hegel Marx Lacan Žižek axis in Math Ed. My dissertation won an international feminists’ award.

AI is Destroying the University and Learning Itself
Students use AI to write papers, professors use AI to grade them, degrees become meaningless, and tech companies make fortunes. Welcome to the death of higher education.

Without the DISCIPLINE called “mathematics education,” mathematics will end up being only for the machines in the future, not us. Our field is existentially important for the preservation (in humanity) of this very important & ancient tradition (viz. mathematics): it’s an ACCOUNT of the human race.

The fact that Žižek’s next book (coming 2026) mirrors a forthcoming book chapter by @anarchoautistic.bsky.social , @kyleswhipple.bsky.social , and I…. That’s a cool-ass feeling!!! We must have all four been tuned into the same ideological suspicions at the same time.

Psychoanalysts help everyone individually move toward a different way of being with oneself, with others, and with the world, neither hoping for, nor imposing, nor making anybody believe in a miracle.

Professors spent years convincing students that good writing meant following prescriptivist rules that stripped their writing of their unique voice and are now mad that students have taken that message to heart and are now ceding their voice to AI in order to better follow these prescriptivist norms
