The best classroom upgrade might be less tech #TEDTalks
Humans aren’t just social — we’re ultrasocial, wired like bees and ants for deep connection.

Social psychologist Jonathan Haidt lays out three principles of technoskepticism — and explains why, two years after sounding the alarm in “The…

This seems to be some kind of dog and pony show. I don’t get the need for this Elon/Vivek thing. Firstly, Rand Paul, for years, has been putting out his Festivus Report that discloses the ridiculous spending. So this info has been available for anyone who cared to take a look, but apparently Americans didn’t care to look. Secondly, the GAO, General Accounting (Accountability) Office, with it’s staff of 10,000 is chartered with goverment spending oversight. What the hell have these 10,000 government employees been doing the last couple decades? I used to work there in the 90’s when they actually did this job. Thirdly, there was the organization called Openthebooks that revealed wasteful government spending. Interestingly, the guy who started Openthebooks, Alex A. died suddenly in his sleep at age 55, this past August. He was a healthy man, training for a marathon last month.Anyways, the info has always been available, the people didn’t bother to look, and since no one got riled up about this wasteful spending congress didn’t do anything about it. What makes anyone think anything will be done with what Elon and Vivek finds?

1. educational system i can envision my own dream for it. it is this:
basically create one simple website that allows anyone to access it even little kids. they can basically learn advanced college educational content for free, and the whole nation can use it. so little kids can get a head start on gaining the education on career paths at young ages. this removes the barriers to education and will make stronger work forces. also the colleges have become predatorial with high price gouging and poor services.
this in my opinion will help modernize education as we know it, and make it more efficient is my opinion.
2. the tax legislation needs to be simplified by like 85 percent. other countries have simple tax systems and it works very well. you will less people wasting time trying to learn the nonsense of the tax legislature. i went through it all. i can it is it loaded to the brim and then some with unneeded complexities. also corruption is hidded in this types of practices to create a big mole hill of complexity which helps serve the means of hiding corruption and corrupted legislature. so it would also help improve accountability. people wasting time on tax stuff, can spend their energy more efficiently else where.
3. this one is involving title 25 of federal code. tribal advisory program, and all the of the unfair tribal funding programs throughout usa govt.
pretty much any president, agency and law makers make a promise to uphold standards of constitution, and this includes 14th amendment. since each of these things violate 14th amendment, it was a breach of duty of history that never got cleaned up. so it all needs to be purged from all of the usa agencies, and federal code. this would help heal usa, and restore the 14th amendments standards in our legislature. also migrants that flood into the usa are granted unfair advantages over the usa population from these programs and that is another reason is that usa population is legitimately being harmed from it.
4. grants.gov stuff. grants from the goverment needs to be abolished, there is alot of corruption in this realm. agencies like dept of interior funnel heavy amounts of money into the “tribes” that registered on their website. and then like these “tribes” most times just friends of staff members, and then heavy amounts of grant money is funneled into those tribes. then on each of these tribe’s websites are nonprofits that hand out money on the basis of race. each of them is like their own nonprofit charity business handing out money on basis of ethnicity. but alot of this stuff is enabled from the grants system that usa has. i feel like it enables corruption and should be shut down. like the “internal controls” systems are broken down and then that enables alot of corruption as tsunami.
