Silicon Valley has sold the idea of tech in classrooms for years, because they get access to lifelong customers and valuable data. But while corporations like Google make billions, student test scores are falling.
Big tech just following the indoctrination program of Big religion; get the kids before they’re able to think for themselves.
Kind of naive to think they don’t think for themselves. Why do you think governments want to ban minors from using most common services, to restrict them and banish all their rights?
All it matters is that the bourgeois can more easily craft a perfect populace using “official” channels.
Sure, but it’s the difference between a few who are able to pierce the veil of their indoctrination, vs a large majority who retain the early childhood conditioning through the rest of their lives. If nothing else, it creates a steady dissonance that ultimately only serves to make life and/or living feel less innately enjoyable and more like livestock in a predatory system from which we cannot escape. All so that the same small group of ultra rich can further their wealth and influence.
If we had a functioning government, they would have regulated the corporate landscape decades ago, but instead we’ve all been forced to labor under and increasing marginalization, while the ROI of our efforts yields less and less. Hardly seems sustainable.
