ECONOMIC CORNER
Two Types of learning with modern computing, none or it all
MY THOUGHTS
The problem is the issue isn't learning, the issue is fiscal capitalism.
First no one can learn everything, the fact that someone suggest one person can learn everything is a terrible lie. On the reverse side, people using modern computing as a crutch to get through their labors without working is true too. It isn't that they are learning nothing. The problem isn't how people are using the tools but how the tools are used in context with fiscal capitalism.
For example, a child in an indios/native American village with a connection to the internet is not going to become financially wealthy through the use of modern computing. It isn't an accident that inheritance is still the majority delivery of wealth between generations. All the models of fiscal wealth building and you still have people selling some technology can break that mold. In modernity, the tools to learning are more expansive, more interwoven than arguably any time before in human history. But, work ethic or learning has never been connected to fiscal wealth. Again, if work ethic or learning led to fiscal wealth, every single enslaved populace in the history of humanity would had ended up fiscally wealthy. History proves most if not all enslaved populaces do not end up fiscally wealthy and if anything end up being branches of the slaving populace. Why? because wealth is about destructive power, and knowledge isn't inherently destructive power, nor is education destructive power, nor is work ethic destructive power.

Mark Cuban just described the sharpest divide in the modern economy. And most people are already on the wrong side of it.
Cuban: “There’s two types of approaches to AI. Some people who use it so they don’t have to learn anything, and some people who use it so they have the opportunity to learn everything.”
Two sentences. The entire future of human capital compressed into a single binary.
The first group sees the most powerful knowledge infrastructure ever built and uses it to avoid thinking. They offload reasoning, skip the friction, and call it efficiency.
What they’re actually doing is hollowing out the one thing that can’t be replicated.
Their own cognition.
Cuban: “AI is a tool, it’s a way to learn, it’s a democratization of knowledge.”
For centuries, elite knowledge was locked behind institutions, geography, and capital. The right university. The right city. The right network.
Entire generations of potential buried because the information was never accessible.
That wall just came down permanently.
The second group understands what that actually means.
Same tool. Compressing decades of learning into months. Entire disciplines on demand.
Mental models that once required years of expensive education now available to anyone willing to ask the right questions.
The knowledge is democratized. The ambition is not.
That’s the divide Cuban is actually describing. Not technical literacy. Not access.
Pure cognitive initiative.
The first group is outsourcing their mind. The second is expanding it.
Atrophy doesn’t announce itself. It just arrives.

yeah, exactly, computers are here, no matter the power level, and definitely at the level called AI. So the issue is how to use them. And in the usa i argue, the same model is being used as in the gold/oil rushes. most are spending money on tech they can't afford or will cost them eventually, like land deeds or spikes. The profiteers are the ones providing services and buying and reselling or leasing products. but they are also learning the better practices. it is a hands on approach.

LEarning USing Modern Computing
If you were teaching a person in your home today, any age, how would you use or not use the computer programming commonly called artificially intelligent?
