It's worth either reading or listening to Jimmy Carter's speech delivered around 44 years ago. It led to him getting "primaried," resulting in a one-term presidency. Why? Because he spoke the truth about our political leaders' unwillingness to deal with complex issues. Clearly, matters have only gotten worse and as Schmidt notes, "can be applied to immigration, guns, debt, or a hundred other pressing problems that remain unsolved and unaddressed in a way that saps faith and belief in the system."Yes, Godspeed, Jimmy Carter, for your words of truth and wisdom and for a life well lived.-Angela Valenzuela [TAG0] Godspeed, President Carter STEVE SCHMIDT FEB 24 [TAG1] Open in app or online SAVE ▷ LISTEN James Earl Carter was born nearly 100...

Meta is offering access to resources that will help researchers working in artificial intelligence (AI).

Teaching current events in the classroom can be a daunting task, especially when current events can sometimes feel difficult to process as an adult. However, if we don’t teach current events to our students, we miss out on an opportunity for rich discussions and authentic learning. Sometimes as teachers we underestimate our students’ ability to handle things, or assume that because they’re kids they don’t know a lot about what’s going on in the world. From my experience, students are a lot more aware of what’s going on around them than we might think. Without discussing current events, students might actually gather wrong information or feel unnecessary anxiety. Afterall, not all current events are negative. There are lots of great...
A paradox is a fascinating concept that appears in television shows, movies, and literature. Some of history’s most brilliant writers, such as William Shakespeare, George Orwell, and William Woodsworth, used a paradox as a literary device, while it’s also a popular device in science fiction movies. As it turns out, paradoxes aren’t just for old writers and sci-fi flicks. Paradoxes are part of everyday life. These mind-bending ideas and theories are fun to think about as they get more confusing. A paradox starts as a logical statement that makes common sense but is a contradiction defying expectations. In the end, it reaches a self-contradictory and unacceptable yet logical conclusion. Simple right? Paradoxes fall into several categories: circular definitions, infinite regress,...
