Excellent and engaging conversation between Zack Polanski and Natasha Devon about education and how Michael Gove and austerity have between them caused a mental health crisis among young people. Enjoyable despite the challenging topic.
Great conversation with @natashadevon.bsky.social - How the Education system became a mental health crisis.

Listened to it yesterday and am filled with admiration for Natasha. The bit that got me most; People without empathy but with information are manipulating those with empathy but no information. A better description of the current Reform surge than any.

In an age where influential software designs often come by committee, this anecdote serves to remind us that it doesn't have to be this way.
Original Mac calculator design came from letting Steve Jobs play with menus for 10 minutes
In 1982, a young Mac developer turned Jobs into a UI designer—and accidentally invented a new technique.

When everything mediated by screens and signals becomes uncertain, embodied presence remains the last reliable interface with truth. Smell, touch, proximity — they can’t yet be convincingly faked at scale. That’s why human-to-human contact still carries epistemic authority.
