If there is a smart shortcut we will take it. It's how we became the humans we are today. Unfortunately doesn't help with deliberate learning.

Sadly most students have not been taught how to value learning. They just want a high mark with the least effort.

To provide a sensible answer: people tend to not be so anti things as having different priorities. I have tinkered with AI, building models etc, but have lost interest because I find the way it is being used is ultimately dangerous. Does that put me in your hate group?

The problem is the world is too big. If you could get a rough fix on where your user is and start with a focus on their local area you might get some engagement. Allow just how big it is to be something they might discover.

I have always understood that life insurance cannot be taken out except by those with more to lose, particularly the person themselves. I wonder if these markets will support that? Let's hope not.
