เมื่อสมัยนพดล ปัทมะ ผมซึ่งยังเลือก ปชป. (และยังมีเวลา) อยู่ อยากรู้ความจริงเลยไล่อ่านเอกสารเยอะแยะกรณีปราสาทพระวิหาร จนสรุปได้ว่านพดลไม่ได้ทำให้ไทยเสียดินแดน แต่ตอนนั้นคุยกับใครไม่รู้เรื่องเลย ตอนนี้เขาออกมาอธิบายเองตามความเป็นจริง ก็คิดว่าจะมีคนรู้เรื่องบ้าง แต่อ่านคอมเมนต์แล้วสิ้นหวัง

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •The arts and education — when they are at their best, anyway — have in common this deep root: they ask us to see and to think and to feel, to see with fresh eyes, to be aware of our own seeing, to be •active• in our seeing.
In that way, both the arts and education are antidotes to the AI hype cycle, and similar endeavors of capitalism run amok.

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •I’m fond of quipping that arts education is •the• foundational form of education, and that education in any field should never stray too far from being arts education.
It’s little wonder that the forces that push investment bubbles and wealth concentration are so hostile to both the arts and education. And we need to recognize that hostility, which is so often cloaked as support:

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •Commoditization disguised as democratization is a form of hostility.
The AI venders saying “Now anyone can make music!!” slip quickly into “Nobody wanted to work at making music,” then “Music is best manufactured and sold by the yard,” then “Music is essentially worthless.”

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •But here’s the thing: anyone could make music •before• gen AI. Some more skilled or more artistically successful than others, sure! But that’s not the point. •Doing it• is the point. •Living it• is the point.
A product that promises to generate it for you so that you neither do it nor live it is antithetical to the point, is hostile to the idea of art itself.
(Note: that’s exactly what the artists in the OP are •not• doing! They are all grabbing the AI and actively •doing• and •living• while poking at the curious new object.)

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •Similarly, hostility to education cloaks itself as support by saying that education should be useful, should be practical, should be focused only on what students need, should be narrowed to what students need, should narrow students, should narrow students into being only what capitalism needs.
I wrote extensively about this dangerous line of thought here:

❝Nobody sees a flower—really—it is so small—we haven’t time—and to see takes time like to have a friend takes time.❞

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •Maria Montessori:
❝Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence.❞
❝We cannot know the consequences of suppressing a child's spontaneity when he is just beginning to be active. We may even suffocate life itself. That humanity which is revealed in all its intellectual splendor during the sweet and tender age of childhood should be respected with a kind of religious veneration. It is like the sun which appears at dawn or a flower just beginning to bloom. Education cannot be effective unless it helps a child to open up himself to life.❞

in reply to Paul Cantrell • • •More Montessori:
❝Imagination does not become great until human beings, given the courage and the strength, use it to create.❞
And here’s a kicker:
❝Establishing lasting peace is the work of education; all politics can do is keep us out of war.❞
Put that last thought in the context of arts and education being deeply intertwined, and oligarchy seeking to dismantle both, and…well….
