  • They were allowing kids to use phones in classrooms up to that point…?

    When I went to school, if you were seen with your phone out during class it was confiscated until the end of the day. And back then all you could use them for was texting anyway haha.

    Anything that might distract from the lesson would be treated the same way, that’s just basic sense for any teacher.

    Why would teachers stop caring about phones in classrooms, especially given how famously addictive and problematic to attention etc we now know them to be?


  • 49% chance the world will end in just 25 years

    Giant meteor coming to wipe out all of the world’s life?

    predicted civilisation could collapse by 2050

    Oh, so just the collapse of current civilisation. That’s happened many, many times already.

    While not a good thing for those experiencing it, consider this. As we look back on previous civilisations, would we consider ours to generally be the best up to now? I’d say so. Perhaps what comes next will be even better.

    The collapse of a particularly large civilisation is usually a slow affair that is difficult even to spot from the inside as it’s happening (consider the slow crumbling of the USA currently for example).

    So while it is a period of turmoil and not a small amount of suffering, it’s not like everybody is going to die and humanity will go extinct, or anything.
