ZAK STEIN: How do we raise kids in a metacrisis?

MAY 19, 202671 MIN

Description

<p>Zak&nbsp;Stein<strong>&nbsp;</strong>(Harvard philosopher of education, AI + kids expert) is worried that we are not raising and educating our kids for the kind of wobbly, harsh future they will be inheriting.&nbsp;Zak&nbsp;is a Harvard philosopher of education and co-founder of the Centre for World Philosophy and Religion. He is also the co-founder of the Civilisation Research Institute and the Consilience Project, and the author of Education in a Time Between Worlds.</p><br><p>I asked&nbsp;Zak&nbsp;to join me to answer the kinds of questions parents and teachers everywhere are asking.&nbsp;What kind of education matters now? Is it about being keyed into AI or radically rejecting it? What should young people be studying at college/university if entry-level jobs are now being wiped? Should we be pushing success or adaptability onto kids? What should be done with the social media bans?</p><br><p><strong>SHOW NOTES</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li>Learn more about Zak's work <a href="https://www.zakstein.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>.</li><li>Get your copy of <a href="https://amzn.to/3Pws1BZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Education in a Time Between Worlds: Essays on the Future of Schools, Technology, and Society</a></li><li>If you want more ideas about raising kids amid…all of this…you might enjoy this chat with Anya Kamenetz: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/ama-how-do-i-parent-in-the-face-of-so-much-existential-crisis/id1548626341?i=1000661179881" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AMA: How do I parent in the face of so much existential crisis?</a></li></ul><p><br></p><p>--</p><br><p>Watch on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@SarahWilson_Wild" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a> or <a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a></p><p>If you need to know a bit more about me… head to my "<a href="http://www.sarahwilson.com/about" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">about</a>" page</p><p>For more such conversations, subscribe to my<a href="https://sarahwilson.substack.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Substack newsletter</a>, it’s where I interact the most!</p><p>Let’s connect on<a href="http://www.instagram.com/_sarahwilson_" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
