And then we did their assignment structure they built, and it was fantastic.

Like, way better than anything I've designed on my own.

Co-creation is a super valuable methodology amd what you did sounds a lot like it!

The discussion process was amazing. It created some of the best and most engaged conversations in class I've had. My theory is that I *staked* the conversation - I made it important, and put my money where my mouth was by giving them real power, and real consequences.

Students seemed to take it super seriously. A few wanted to abuse the power to design an easy class, but the vast majority seemed invested in thinking about what they wanted out of education, what skills they needed in the new era, and what assignments were *for*.

We also did a bunch of work on democratic inclusiveness, and various theories that the point of democracy is that no single authority can account for all the important reasons. That every single participant in a society has a different angle, a different form of relevant knowledge.

This was crucial - it really primed students to be concerned about what parts of their skill - and what parts of their humanity - might erode if they unthinkingly used automation. It set the tone in I think a crucial way.

Repeating a "we're fucked" narrative is the fastest way to learned helplessness. I know this intimately, having sat in the cage myself for two years. But while we don't have control over our stressors, we have control over our *reactions* to the stressors. Our thoughts, emotions, THAT,we can control
