Hard Thinking

Spent an hour early in the day in a sort of meeting-cum-briefing on AI in education. I'm guessing that similar sorts of meetings are taking place in schools and colleges all around the world. Felt sorry for those poor souls in various organisations dedicated to learning who have to develop some sort of policy or strategy or whatever to cope with what seems to me a genuinely radical moment in world history or world culture or the history of education or whatever. This thing is big and I can't wrap my brain around it as things stand and things are not going to stand still.

It's all very exciting and very destabilising and very frightening if you allow yourself to think those kind of thoughts. As a younger colleague perspicaciously said to me, You're lucky to be retiring soon. Yes, I am.
