Gen Z grad unemployment rate high. Skilled gov workers (mainly millennials and X) shoved out. Artists with decades of experience have had careers eroded (e.g. “The Gen X Career Meltdown”). Science/research taken hits.
Kids getting a message that nothing matters but speed, not accuracy nor learning.

The problem with “kids who use gen ai learn less” is that kids may no longer care if they learn less. They’re told to prioritize speed and quick answers. Worse, if they regularly see the people who “learned more” before gen ai gain no actual benefit from it, the incentive to “game” school increases.

Sunday is one of my writing days. Today I’m finishing a handbook chapter, compiling notes for an article revision due soon, and sketching out articles for the spring. There’s a half of a foot or more of fresh snow outside. So, I’m choosing to be inspired (rather than annoyed) by nature’s beauty.

There is (1) research that aims to prove antiblackness is real and (2) research that seeks to reveal the mechanisms that reproduce antiblackness. Overlapping circles, and other types. The literature is flooded with (1). I don’t ask why anymore. Nod to June Jordan’s note on Host-Parasite relations.

Whew, you talking good, Pastor!!! The student-as-customer also shifted the idea of learning for the value of learning to a kpi and quarterly goal, if you catch my drift.
I’m ready to build something different because this ain’t it and it’s wearing my spirit LOW.

This entire thread is soberingly accurate. I teach class now, and most days I just want to find something else. I love teaching. I’ve also seen this coming since 2010/11 when I taught high school right by after undergrad. There is a real timeline to this but we’re experiencing the symptoms of a
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

It’s easy to do theory on things you dislike. Can you critique something you love? Can you hold the duality of loving it and understanding it? Or that’s what I was trying to do. Hope springs eternal!

A tactic of this system is to humanize what’s not human and dehumanize actual humans. Doing this normalizes the sociopathy of the elites and aspiring elites.

"We are not our ancestors" is not gonna yet us through this moment. You better wish you were your ancestors who survived the middle passage, chattel slavery, who consistently revolted, who made ways as maroons. We definitely need to connect with Black legacies of survival for now.

This country and the social contracts we’ve all lived under can never be reinstated.
We’ve shown the fallacy in them by letting this shit show run amuck. You can’t talk about merit ever again. The rule of law? Baby… might as well forget about it.
Society in decline and nothing can patch it up.

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.
