The #Harmful Ideology of #Radical #Unschooling by Kasia Baba #yt

How should children in the future seize the means of production without the basic tools of reading and writing? This is manufacturing generational ineptness or serfdom. Without being able to formulate their own ideas and grasp more complex topics, they will be doomed to the whims of authority and people who have the aptitude to grasp those concepts. Am I missing here the point 🤔 This is madness. #imho

#Harris said her heart broke for the community in #Springfield, calling it a "crying shame" that elementary #school #children, "dressed up in their best" for school picture day, were forced to #evacuate because of the #threats.
"This is #exhausting, & it's #harmful & it's #hateful...& grounded in some age-old stuff that we should not have the tolerance for," Harris said. "So, let's turn the page & chart a new way forward & say [to #Trump], 'you can't have that microphone again.'"

A Maine commission has called for 💥a new probe of the historical use of #Agent #Orange and other herbicides at a #New #Brunswick #military #base 💥
because it says ⚠️ the data and analysis used in a Canadian report that found most people at or near the base were not at risk for long-term health effects was "#incorrect" and "#biased."
The #Gagetown #Harmful #Chemical #Study #Commission, created last summer to study the impacts of exposure to Agent Orange and other harmful chemicals on Maine National Guard veterans who trained at 5th Canadian Division Support Base Gagetown in Oromocto, recently presented its recommendations to the Maine legislature's veterans and legal affairs committee.
It said the committee should invite experts to review the Canadian Forces Base Gagetown Herbicide Spray Program 1952-2004 Fact-Finders' Report to determine whether the existing data should be reanalyzed or new studies conducted

There are no safe #tobacco products. But different products have different levels of #risk. #Cigarettes and other smoked tobacco products are the most #harmful, while products like #eCigarettes may be lower-risk alternatives for adults who already #smoke.

Unfortunately, that message seems to have gotten twisted in the public's mind.

Popular #AI #ImageGenerating systems #DALLE2 & #StableDiffusion notoriously tend to amplify #harmful #biases & #stereotypes, despite companies’ attempts to fix it. But just how big a problem is it? You can now see for yourself using #interactive new #online #tools. (Spoiler alert: it’s big.) #OpenAI & #StabilityAI, the company that built Stable Diffusion, say that they have introduced fixes to mitigate the biases ingrained in their systems - results are limited. technologyreview.com/2023/03/2 #models
