New York Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani's  proposal to phase out gifted-and-talented kindergarten programs isn't progress, it's just plain dumb! When excellence becomes “everyone has to get a trophy,” every child loses. The Real Story is you don't fix inequality by lowering the bar, you fix it by opening more doors.

On episode 101 of Native Land Pod, hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers talk about Ignorance. Some Ignorant young Republican leaders had their group chat leaked, as reported in a recent Politico article. You are NOT going to believe what these 20 and 30-something conservatives in positions of power said when they thought they were in private. Their racist and violent rhetoric illuminates how young conservatives think and how these words become policy, see below– LA county has declared a state of emergency due to the ICE raids taking place there. The Trump administration is nabbing up green card holders and American citizens as they arbitrarily arrest anyone who LOOKS LIKE an immigrant (AKA brown)--a prime example of how racist words become policy. There’s a viral clip going around of Marc Lamont Hill getting yelled at for using “big words” on the Joe Budden podcast. Is this a sign of a broader anti-intellectual strain in our culture? Or do we need to keep an open mind toward folks who slander “intellectual” talk? California Governor Gavin Newsom rejected 5 reparations bills meant to provide the Black community with restorative justice. We’re showing the receipts and holding this supposedly progressive governor to account. He did approve 1 reparations-related bill… Politico Article - Racist Group Chats: https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/14/private-chat-among-young-gop-club-members-00592146 If you’d like to submit a question, check out our tutorial video: http://www.instagram.com/reel/C5j_oBXLIg0/ and send to @nativelandpod.

We finally have emerging research on Artificial Intelligence's consequences for actual intelligence.  If you're an educator or parent--or if you're anyone who just thinks that thinking is important--then you need to learn about this study.  It offers hard evidence that our young people are in danger of diminished thinking skills for life. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit pearlmanactualintelligence.substack.com

Is ChatGPT dumbing down your kid? It is and here's what you can do.A new MIT study reveals the powerful consequences of artificial intelligence on actual intelligence, and guess what? Simply (and terrifyingly) put, the use of artificial intelligence undermines your child's actual intelligence. In short, when children don't think for themselves, they don't learn to think for themselves. That should surprise no one.I'll get to the disturbing details of the study in a moment, but let me first explain why these outcomes were obvious and inevitable. In a nutshell, the brain functions like a muscle insofar that it becomes stronger when it is used and atrophies when it is not used. I could list a thousand additional factors that affect thinking, but that simple premise really is enough for this discussion.And when I say that the brain functions like a muscle, most people think I'm speaking overly metaphorically. I'm not. While the brain, of course, isn't actual muscle tissue, its functioning is remarkably similar. Much in the way that exercising muscles builds more muscles, exercising the brain builds the brain—literally. Every single time we engage in a thinking act, the brain builds more wiring, such as synapses through synaptogenesis, for that thinking act. On the flipside, the brain not only allows existing pathways to diminish when they're not used, it actually overwrites existing pathways with new ones.Watch this play out in the MIT study …The MIT StudyThat study is Your brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task, by a team of researchers led by Dr. Nataliya Kosmyna. The scientists broke a group of students down into three essay-writing groups: An “A.I.-assisted” writing group that used multiple LLMs (not just ChatGPT), a “search engine” group, and a “brain-only” group. The students then engaged in three writing sessions while the researchers monitored their brain activity using an EEG. Each student was interviewed after each session, and all of their writing was assessed by humans, as well as an A.I.So, what happens when one group is required to use their brains more than the other groups? Would it shock you to know that the group that needed to do their own thinking actually thought more? I hope not, not anymore than it should be surprising that a group of kids who practiced hitting a ball did better at hitting a ball than a group of kids who watched a robot hit a ball for them. (Okay, that's not a perfectly fair analogy to the A.I. usage in this case, but it illustrates the point.)And the point is that brain-only group performed better and scored higher on their essays. But that's not the most important outcome for us. What's more important is that “the brain-only group exhibited the strongest, widest-ranging networks” of brain activity, while the group with A.I. “assistance elicited the weakest overall coupling.” In other words, the brain-only group thought a lot; the A.I.-assisted group did not. Do you remember what we said about what happens when the brain “muscle” isn't used?But it gets worse. The researchers brought those two groups back for a fourth session and switched their roles. They gave the A.I. group a brain-only writing task and the brain-only group an A.I. writing task. And here's what's so important: the brain-only group still performed better, even when using A.I., and the A.I. group still performed worse, even when given the opportunity to think for themselves. Or should I say, it did worse because they now had to think for themselves.Over the first three brain-only writing assignments, the brain-only students built their brains for the task, and they built mental frameworks (read: habits) to rely on when engaging those tasks. Thus, that they then “gained” an A.I. assistant did not suddenly degrade all of the wiring that their brains built. But the A.I. group, when suddenly given the opportunity for a brain-only task, not only had built no wiring for accomplishing that task, it also, and this is the most critical part, created wiring and mental frameworks for using A.I. instead.What that means in a nutshell, and these are my words not those of the study, is that the brain-only group got smarter and the A.I. group not only failed to become smarter, they got dumbed down—they became habituated to relying on A.I. Thus, when given the opportunity to do so, they were incapable of thinking as well as the brain-only participants did.All of that should be concerning enough, but there's more. In addition to the direct cognitive effects, the researchers also found that brain-only participants “demonstrated higher memory recall” and engagement of thinking-related brain areas compared to the A.I group. Meanwhile, compared to the brain-only group, the A.I. participants reported lower “ownership of their essay,” which is an educator's way of saying that they didn't care about it as much and did not feel as though it was their own.Thus, to sum it all up, A.I.-assisted writing made the kids perform poorly, made them dumber, and made them less invested in their own thinking and writing.What to doIn light of this study, one school of “thought” could be that since everyone is going to rely on A.I. in the future anyway, kids who do so will be no worse off than their peers, and using A.I. might free up time for them to do things that are more valuable than writing essays, which, again, they won't really ever need to write on their own anyway because A.I. will be there to “assist.” Those who subscribe to that position probably should stop following me here at Actual Intelligence right now as we will be rather inclined to disagree.The other school of thought is that thinking skills, such as those developed through writing, which research repeatedly shows is the best way to teach critical thinking, are far more important than any and all expediencies achieved through A.I. assistance. Let me rephrase that: If you want your kids to build their brains rather than have them degenerate into relatively useless gelatin that can only write A.I. prompts or order burrito online, then keep their brains as far from A.I. as possible.Obviously, there's not much that you can do with your college-aged kids other than share this information with them and hope they make the right decisions. But for kids still under your roof, there are things you can do:1. Share this information with them. Most kids don't want to become dumber; they do value their ability to think. So, take time to explain, and then reinforce, the consequences of A.I. In fact, start thinking of A.I. as something about which you need to begin messaging no differently than alcohol, drugs, and sex.2. Ask them how they use A.I. Understand their current relationship with A.I., and please keep in mind that the MIT study does not speak to other ways that students might interact with A.I. beyond this one context. Using A.I. in other ways might be more or less consequential.3. Check their work: There are plenty of sites out there that scan essays to see if they were written by A.I. Those sites are not perfectly reliable, but they might offer useful information about what your kid is up to.4. If you want to get serious, have your kids download all their source materials before writing, then shut of their internet while they write. Take away the temptation; make them use their brains.ConclusionThe implications of A.I.-based “thinking” work are becoming clear, but for anyone who has thought about it or who values thinking, they're also not surprising. Every time we use A.I. to “assist” our thinking, it not only prevents us from thinking, it degrades our capacity to think in the future.Worse—much, much worse—is that those of you reading this built your brains before A.I. existed, which means that even if you gravitate to using A.I. now (please don't), you've got a lot of “muscle” built up to abate its consequences. A.I. will still degrade your thinking, but those sound neural pathways you built up all your life won't all turn to jelly overnight.But for your kids, it's different. Their neural pathways are still in the process of building up for the first time. Even though we are all always rewriting our brains, kids' brains have not even fully developed, so whatever they habituate to will become hardwired moving forward. Consequently, kids who are raised as A.I. natives might never develop their brains for thinking in the same way yours did. And that will not only affect their lives, but a generation of lesser-thinkers will affect all our lives.But there's good news! Somewhere down the line, kids who actually learn to think for themselves will stand out against the emerging generation who might not. So, if you can raise your own child to think critically, they might just be among the few who lead the world to a better place.And that, once again, is why actual intelligence is so important.

Oklahoma's Superintendent Ryan Walters faces a lawsuit over new, controversially enacted education standards that inject Christian nationalist dogma and conspiracy theories into public school curricula. These changes, lacking transparency, bundle divisive religious content with popular but unfunded mandates, exemplifying a "shit-filled M&M" approach to policy. This blatant religious overreach is part of a broader Christian nationalist strategy to indoctrinate children, undermine secular education, and solidify power by marginalizing other faiths and non-believers. It highlights hypocrisy and poses significant challenges for teachers and the separation of church and state.**News Source:Oklahoma Sued Over School Standards, By Hemant Mehta for The Friendly Atheist, July 2, 2025

Send us a textSince March 2025, we have listened to the conversations with Kevin Mark Low on The Balanced Education Model, the MAW Review and did episodes on social media comments coming from the the architecture fraternity (with episodes on  the Dumbing Down of Architecture Education), so ... what have we learned so far?We can't ignore the 'elephant in the room' and it is the "Failure in Teaching Architecture Design". Specifically the disappointment in not helping students and graduates build that confidence. Hence the topic is on 'Formalism, Relationships and Guidance' (based on the conversation with Kevin in Part 2 episode in March): how we are obsessed with prescribed forms in 'formalism'; how we are not really concern with asking the most important question on a project / thesis topic on 'relationships' and; how we are not giving the proper 'guidance' and letting others solve our problems instead. © 2025 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.

Send us a textThis is a criticism of the trend to oversimplify "architecture education" in my opinion, so that "design" (competencies) can be controlled. All architects and architectural designers need to be livid about this, and nothing else.I saw a post that the UIA Education Committee wants to have a webinar called "Aligning Education Across Allied Built Environment Disciplines". I copied this quote:This panel discussion seeks to explore innovative ways to bridge disciplinary boundaries without compromising the core competencies. "Integrating disciplines is not about diluting expertise but about enriching it. In a world of complex challenges, we must break silos, collaborate across boundaries, and reimagine education for sustainable, regenerative futures. The future of design lies in shared knowledge and collective innovation. Together, we can create environments that are both resilient and socially responsible."This is 'old news' we have been noticing in the last decades. I made a critical comment in this podcast where my stance is:Architecture may be straddling between Science and Art, but it is not a social science discipline. Architecture is an Arts and Humanities discipline, and it needs to be on its own or together in with other creative disciplines in an Art and Creative faculty or on it's own school / faculty and certainly not in the built environment faculty.© 2025 Talk Architecture, Author: Naziaty Mohd Yaacob.

Dumbing Down the Future - Mike Judge's Idiocracy This is an especially fun one! This week Mr. Chavez & I take a trip into a very funny, very frightening, and very likely future. In 2006 20th Century Fox released Mike Judge's Idiocracy in a manner that almost guaranteed that no one would ever see it.  . . . but the film would survive. Judge's bleak and pessiimistic vision of the future - the year 2505 - would find a cult audience that would embrace its hilarious prediction of a Professional Wrestler President, warehouse stores as a kind of Mecca, Fast-Food Restaurants as cheap, disgusting food and sex providers, and a population of such minimal intelligence that an "Average Joe" cryogenically frozen and awoken in the future would find himself the "Smartest Man on Earth". Judge spares no targets and we are grateful for the ride Idiocracy takes its viewers on. There's a whole lot to unpack here. Great Satire is usually ahead of its time and that is surely the case with this film. Judge would later joke, "I'm no prophet, I was off by 490 years." Sadly, he was right. Take a listen and let us know if you agree. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com. Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

There's a bit of pushback coming from some sectors in the education business towards the reading, writing, and maths tests. These are the tests we are failing. Those who are failing mostly come from poor backgrounds. I'm not sure equating monetary status and academic success should be a thing. But a bunch of principals from the "poorest communities" have got together to lobby the Government to stop the tests because they say it will lead to more kids leaving school with no qualifications. After two rounds of these tests more than half failed reading and writing and 75% failed numeracy. You can't get university entrance if you don't get these grades. Now, there is no doubt that failure affects attitude and there is equally no doubt that for some the “give it up” scenario must be tempting if the hurdle is too high. But then there's also no doubt that allowing kids to leave school having failed is a failure in and of itself. Any country that has any level of success globally is not a country that goes soft on education. The principals' answer is the answer that has failed us for years, which is also the Chris Hipkins Covid answer - give them something for nothing. An alternative to an exam is the extra 20 credits scenario that is due to expire at the end of 2027. They want that made permanent and instead of 20 credits they want it made into 60 credits. So, like Hipkins and Covid, extra credits for not actually doing anything. Just extra credits for life being a bit crap right now. No one gains when we do this. It is excuse making. It is an acceptance that we fail, and are failing, and failure is part of what we do. You can either read and write or you can't. You can either add up or you can't. And if you can't, having people pretend you can, won't fix anything. Part of why this country is where it is, is because we are apologists in areas like this and instead of being determined to fix it, we set about looking for ways to excuse it.

Everybody knows America's public school systems have fallen in ratings and standards these past years, and are failing to educate children in the ways they need to lead fruitful, prosperous lives. But it's not enough to be aware of the sad state of America's education systems. It's high time to do something about it. If we want an America that's led by people who understand the concept of American Exceptionalism, who recognize the roots of American Exceptionalism, and who know what it takes to win the war against American Exceptionalism -- and keep individual liberties intact for decades to come -- we need to educate the coming generation of leaders to love and cherish America. Nicholas Giordano, as a college professor and media figure, sees first hand how the dumbing down of America has led to a large population of ignoramuses. He has much to say about how to reverse this sad and sorry trend.

How could madness dominate social media and politics? People are getting stupider. Brain damaging trends are dumbing down the population. Heavy metals, toxic chemicals, COVID, wildfire smoke an aging population, and climate stress all threaten intelligence. Now add…“TikTokfication”. We talk with scientist “Mr.  …

The reason why is we're going to get real about how our daily digital gluttony ~ from scrolling through social media, Googling down one rabbit trail after another, perusing the pretend aisles of Amazon Prime, and reconnecting with old high school flames who slid into our DMs ~ is making us heartsick. Multiple highly regarded scientific studies over the past few years have revealed that the excessive time most of us spend staring at our phone screens has a negative impact on our neuro-pathways, as well as our primary relationships. Plus, there's irrefutable proof now that adolescents' brains ~ which are still developing ~ become more sensitive when anticipating social rewards and punishments over time with increased social media usage. In other words, the measurable result of all those hours our kids are spending on TikTok and viewing reels, is a heightened sense of insecurity and self-doubt. Not installing boundaries on the amount of digital data we're consuming every day is the neurological and emotional equivalent of giving a hungry fox the key code to our chicken coup, y'all! So here's the deal ~ after hanging out with my pastor today, Dr. Darren Whitehead ~ who's an expert when it comes to the corrosive consequences of the constant digital barrage of modern culture ~ we're going to invite you to join us for a relatively brief digital detox here at the beginning of 2025 and learn how making our smart phones a little dumber will make our relationships with God and each other a whole lot richer! For some of you saints this single conversation has the potential to change the trajectory of '2025 and not only redeem huge chunks of time locusts have devoured in your life but quite possibly begin the closing the intimacy gap you've unwittingly allowed your phone to create between you and the people you love. So please grab a cup of coffee, your Bible, and a notebook or journal and pull your chair up on the porch with us for this caboose of 2024 conversation. Happy New Year ~ we're really happy you're here. Save on Dwell hereLearn More about Upward Sports here

Jameela Jamil is goddess category, and laughs at us for saying so. This denial of her charm is precisely what we mean. Her refusal to be perfect, and fearlessness about owning that, is what we love her for the most. From her star turns in The Good Place to She-Hulk, to her feminist activism and powerful work with I Weigh, we applaud her. She's somehow a sort of divine hybrid of Taylor Swift, Gloria Steinem and Beyonce. Flaws and all. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today on the Matt Walsh Show, there is a movement underway to "decolonize" academics, especially subjects like math.
