#god i love that book#the theory of the leisure class#i read it during my phd but tbh i should just buy a copy and reread it#he's right that it could have been written yesterday#there's so much research in marketing and consumer behaviour on this type of signalling#status signalling just... a massive and major thing that people do#of course that's what all these types of influencers are doing#and when you buy into it and try to emulate it#you're also trying to buy in (on some level) to attaining the status it confers#it's interesting because for a long time we were in an era where busyness signalled status#but there's a reaction to that as shown by the tradwife movement where having leisure time confers more status than being busy#the idea was that busy signals importance (i'm busy because so many people demand my time because I Am An Important Person)#but everything comes in cycles#anyway i'm rambling#status signalling#marketing#tradwives#thank queue for coming

good news, OP!
in some of the pedagogical circles i move within, the big discussion around how to educate in the era of AI is... get students to do their work in class. where the educator is accessible for questions. and they can get their outline or draft done and be well on their way to knowing how to finish the essay on their own without panic-turning to AI, and without being up all night.
another strategy that's come up is more creative assessment design and more practical assignments and activities. think making a website instead of writing an essay, or having a 15minute 'interview' with your prof where you pick 3 out of 5 potential questions to answer instead of a written final exam. think in-class activities turned in for completion grades that you get to pick and choose from at the end of term to build a portfolio to write a learning reflection on.
less at-home work outside of class (but still some) and more autonomy over the learning and assessment.
most of the solutions being floated end up bringing learning back into the classroom and making it more engaging and less overwhelming for students, even if no one is necessarily referring to it exactly like that.
like... students are gonna procrastinate, and some of them (those with diagnosed or poorly managed adhd, for example) may end up waiting until the last minute no matter what the prof does. but working around "just get AI to do it" may end up being a positive disruption to higher education.
i completely understand & agree with the backlash against students using chatgpt to get degrees but some of you are out here saying "getting a degree in xyz means pulling multiple consecutive all-nighters and writing essays through debilitating migraines and having severe back pain from constantly studying at your desk and chugging energy drinks until you get a kidney stone and waking up wishing you were dead every day, and that's just part of the natural process of learning!!!" and like. umm. i don't think that any of us should have had to endure that either. like maybe the solution for stopping students from using anti-learning software depends on college institutions making the process of learning actually sustainable on the human body & mind rather than a grueling health-destroying soul-crushing endeavor
#don't get me wrong this transition is rough hahaha#and not all schools and programs are responding well#but it's really interesting to see how good educators and pedagogical practices are evolving#and trying to meet the challenge in a way that supports learners#anyway#you're correct#education shouldn't be punitive#now let's discuss the issue whereby students can't afford their education so are working part or even fulltime while going to school#and that's part of why they don't have time for their studies and put off assignments and outsource to AI#that's a more structural issue we can't even begin to solve in the classroom...#education systems#higher education#education in the era of ai#thank queue for coming

Remember "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" ? I feel like there's been a distancing from the "reduce" and "reuse" part and a favoritism towards "recycle" by corporate American.
Capitalism can still thrive with recycling in the mix. You buy Plastic Thing 1, throw it away after one use, and they take that and recycle it into Plastic Thing 2 and sell it back to you. All while continuing to harm the environment.
Reusing puts a damper on things. They can't sell you Plastic Thing 2 when you're still using Plastic Thing 1. Plastic forks, for example- there is literally no reason why you can't reuse plastic forks more than once (aside from maybe microplastics, but it's too late for that)
Reducing is the one everyone wants to ignore. Just don't buy Plastic Thing 1. You don't need Plastic Thing 1. Pick up a set of metal forks and use those for years. Convenience is killing the planet

truly do not understand workplace drama. we're stuck here doing stupid bullshit for 8 hours and you want to make it worse? But on the other hand I love hearing about arguments that are not and never will be my problem

I just wish that more people recognized that not all fiction is allegorical, and you don't have to constantly be grasping at real world parallels to figure out what the 'correct' moral interpretation of fiction is, you can just sit with the story

my spouse and i disagree
#i definitely interpret it as down=decrease the function (i.e. make the room warmer)#but i recognize the ambiguity#and often clarify if me and my partner run into this#which we definitely have before in aus

Spin this wheel first and then this wheel second to generate the title of a YA fantasy novel!
(If the second wheel lands on an option ending with a plus sign, spin it again)
Share what you got!

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice

using my adhd superpowers by deleting ugly asks, blocking shitty reblogs, and then legitimately completely forgetting not only the subject matter but the actual incident itself. good luck pissing me off suckers; I can't even remember if I had breakfast, much less you
