    I've been worrying about compensating for my own domain lacking where my daughter's education is concerned, so had thought that a grounding in maths and logic and programming would be best.

    But in this age of LLMs I realise that's redundant.

    I need to focus on language, comprehension, composition of thought and the ability to abstract concepts.

    I'm so fucking worried for her future.

    • Teach her how to learn and foster a culture of curiosity then she will work the rest out. Maybe keep an eye on her self esteem and friend groups is my advice.slappy

    • ..but I've always been sure to enxourage that she engaged with friends as much as is comfortable, and not just focusing the same subset all the timeNairn

    • Have her learn piano. It’s great for activating all kinds of wonderful parts of the brain at once.monospaced
    • I agree that in the world of corner cutters abusing ai to get through life, the ability to write well and expound on abstract concepts is critical.monospaced
    • I bought her a wee piano years ago but she's not shown much interest. She's been learning violin, and I'm going to buy her a recorder this w'endNairn
    • I’m so worried for their future. It’s hard to conceive of what challenges they’ll face or how I can even possibly guide them.monospaced
    • What is it that she loves to do more than anything? That is the thing you raise her to do. This is a slow apocalypse — with more & more beautiful sunsets.tbgoodwillie
