Since you're using Biblical language, I just want to point out that you're not Biblically accurate. Murder isn't the original sin.

Yes. But I'm adding that learning methods should be explicitly taught, to where they become second nature to the student.

I'm may be a little off-topic here (but I don't think so).

In my opinion, elementary school (grades K-5) should really focus a good deal on rote memorization, but only if this focuses on teaching every kind of game and technique to facilitate that kind of learning. By that I mean making flash cards, learning to create and use mnemonic devices, etc.

I just asked ChatGPT, and got something like 15 different techniques, some of which can be used with kindergarteners, all of which can be used by grade 5.

There are always going to be "boring" things to learn. These things are often no longer boring once you know them by heart. In fact, they're often extremely valuable to know. I think by grade 5, if kids are going to be taught anything, they need to be taught the techniques that they can use—on their own—to make learning fun.

They're telling us that iPhones are going to be getting so big, we're going to have to buy it its own custom pocket.

I worked for a small company that had a project with Bloomberg. We went to the office downtown, and being the clueless Upstate hick that I was, I saw the text-based UI up on a screen and asked my boss — a little too loudly — if we were at an auto parts store.

"Shhhhh! That's the Terminal!"

I'm nostalgic for an old World Wide Web (which never really existed, thanks to GeoCities and such), and wish that we could form a sect of "Puritans," break away from the High Church, and sail away to some top-level domain of our own where we'll consider any outbound links heretical.

I'm 58, and have needed reading glasses for the last 10 years. Want to try something fun? Increase your default text size on your iPhone, and then just watch how many apps — native Apple apps, mind you — have their UI screwed up to the point where they become unusable!

Back in 2011, Apple removed apps that crowdsourced warnings about DUI checkpoints. It remains Apple's policy today.

According to Grok, "In March 2011, four Democratic senators—Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.), and Tom Udall (D-N.M.)—sent letters to Apple, Google, and Research in Motion (BlackBerry's parent company) urging the removal of such apps […]"

So, we have precedent where four Democratic senators pressured Apple to remove an app that allowed people to evade law enforcement.
