(page 2)
Teenagers talk about the idea of having each other's 'full attention'. They grew up in a culture of distraction. They remember their parents were on cell phones when they were pushed on swings as toddlers.

As they integrate and assimilate, the disruption caused by diversity diminishes.
Culture is the arts elevated to a set of beliefs.
The thing that's going to make artificial intelligence so powerful is its ability to learn, and the way AI learns is to look at human culture.

Animals have come to mean so much in our lives. We live in a fragmented and disconnected culture. Politics are ugly, religion is struggling, technology is stressful, and the economy is unfortunate. What's one thing that we have in our lives that we can depend on? A dog or a cat loving us unconditionally, every day, very faithfully.
Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.
