What would you teach your kid first?

first I would teach logic. formal and mathematical logic

next statistics. how to actually read a scientific paper, and not believe bs on pop media. or ultra confident quacks who'll make all sorts of claims against pop media to be considered cool.

I think both of these is mostly enough to create a well rounded individual.

I'm constantly afraid that kids may end up fascists. which at some point, they will dabble with especially when you raise them to be independent thinkers and explorers, I understand. But hopefully they get out of that phase soon enough to not hurt themselves and others.

what you feed is only knowledge, but not wisdom

wise like? Jordan Peterson? randomly making incoherent bs claims with authority that is not earned?

what's the structure within which this learning happens? Do you want your kid to be a dumbfcuk arguing about how cigarettes raise the risk of cancer by 1800%, based on a paper that claims that as the relative risk of smokers developing lung cancer, or do you want to teach him how to peruse that claim to end up actual risk of lung cancer from cigarettes is about 0.9% more?

 

we don't feed knowledge. We introduce them to the structure of how knowledge can be more effectively absorbed. since knowledge is a process, and is gained by exchange of information. Not in isolation. or through 'wisdom'. wisdom is completely overrated.

I agree. We don’t have to train them as per our knowledge, they can learn by themselves

dude. did you forget the claim you made previously?

that children can learn by themselves? By sending them to a particular class, you are providing them with the access to the structure within which they will learn it.

its not learning by themselves.

not all kids are capable of learning by themselves.
