    "We just don’t know whether the current data-hungry approach will be enough—or whether we’ll need to learn another #bitter lesson."

    #FreeSchool says: "For me it's about developing better emotionally intelligent people (#EmotionalIntelligence) not just developing #Technology and developing #STEM...

    The Tech way would be very lop-sided and in-human, and I think we're seeing that with tons of people doing Tech while leaving humanity without proper human interaction and communication developed.

    Isn't it a wonder how much money goes into other things more than caring / developing people or to really listening to problems. Sure it's not profitable and that's why unhappiness continues [as a result of profit].
    You could see profit as inverted measure of damage to nature and it's people (directly or indirectly as #habitat / #urban #environment / #climate or again lop-sided human #development... for more profit and less happiness).

    More #emotionally #intelligent #decisionmakers are needed for the way so it's WITH others going forward to understand better and make better decisions (in their own life / company and externally with others). So many projects fall apart for example due to #emotional issues in groups...

    Tech is abusing and also taking advantage of these kinds of default "idiots" (untrained but clever people in a few compartmentalized fields or #specialists) and less emotionally intelligent people are not excluded from lesser human intelligence overall). Yes it could be you doing A LOT of one thing and never the other...

    TECH IS POLITICAL...
    [MY ADDED COMMENT]
    ================

    Tech is political if money, the people behind it and profit are a measurement.
    "No wonder" how much money goes into #STEM more than caring about people / listening to problems at the same time. It's proportional profit to not caring / developing better people / principles, as Tech can skip and cut that out to serve owners agenda.
    Doesn't help that #jobs help #compartmentalise everything to whatever trigger chain it wants to make, and anyone in a job shrugs to say "it's not my business" to care for the rest of the people / life.

    =======
    SUMMARY: I think it is our "job" to care even if #states don't pay for it...
    =======

    Can expect any $tate looking for it's own money to really care or take less money from people as time goes on (instead of more using banks (negative #maths), #STEM, etc..)

    Comments appreciated.
