Thanks for this wise essay !

We're in yet another wave of techno-panic in most school systems. Departments of Education have handed over their States' futures to fast-talking salesmen armed with Jargon of Mass Destruction. "AI" (the LLM Industry's swindle) may be the most devastating fad to date.

Every School Board meeting should begin with a reading of Ch. 3, "High Finance, Or The Point Of Vanishing Interest" (just 4 pages), "Parkinson's Law", by C. Northcote Parkinson (1957).
