Relentless advancement to produce new gen of

I asked Wendy if I could read the paper she turned in, and when I opened the document, I was surprised to see the topic: critical pedagogy, the philosophy of education pioneered by Paulo Freire. The philosophy examines the influence of social and political forces on learning and classroom dynamics. Her opening line: “To what extent is schooling hindering students’ cognitive ability to think critically?” Later, I asked Wendy if she recognized the irony in using AI to write not just a paper on critical pedagogy but one that argues learning is what “makes us truly human.” She wasn’t sure what to make of the question. “I use AI a lot. Like, every day,” she said. “And I do believe it could take away that critical-thinking part. But it’s just — now that we rely on it, we can’t really imagine living without it.”
You’re very right about literacy not being something that will majorly hinder organizing. We have a big illiteracy problem in Guatemala because a large chunk of the country still doesn’t speak or read Spanish. This still hasn’t kept our various orgs from making inroads with these communities.
I asked this question because I know countries in the global north aren’t as used to dilemmas like this and may struggle at first with finding a way around it. But it seems like I might be underestimating them.
Fair enough!
I wish that literacy and comprehension/attention spans were the biggest hurdle organizing here faced… buncha fuckin treatler settlers
