learning anything but basic typing skills in school is useless since schools can't keep enough modern machines for students

lol you could use dell desktops from fifteen years ago to teach kids about the basic logic of programming and lots of poor schools have chromebooks/ipads through federal programs

like i'm not saying coding in schools is a platonic ideal or anything but it could be done if people wanted to do it

I don't think in a free / open society you can defend against information weapons, but you can make it so anyone using IW on you will get a retaliation either kinetic or IW.

Geoscience isn't taught in schools, and though you can't found a geology startup, the jobs with it pay just as well (up to $40,000 with a bachelor's), and it applies to a myriad number of political issues (climate, environmental issues, shortages of water and other natural resources, peak oil). The problem is that you need a car to use it, and the federal grants and loans won't cover the required $1200 field camp course, which is probably why in my experience it skews toward students from middle-to-upper-class backgrounds. At the annual Rock Bowl camping trip, where geology students from across the state compete in events like the rock ID, the fossil ID, quiz bowl, geode roll and rock hammer throw, there was only one black guy out of 100 students. Also people commonly talk about things like "backpacking through Ireland" that just makes me want to vomit

so yeah, probably a good thing
