The Challenge of Teaching in an AI World

The Challenge of Teaching in an AI World

There are two aspects of AI which we must consider. What it can do and what will happen to the world as a result of that. The second aspect of AI which I will encourage you to research for yourself is, where the focus and deployment of AI, is. AI’s problem today is not technological but moral and ethical. That needs to be addressed urgently, and legislation enacted to control the development and deployment of AI so that the owners of capital don’t benefit at the expense of everyone else. Machines can’t do this. You can. Only you can. It needs humans with courage who care enough.

State of the Nation (SWOT Analysis of Muslims in Gauteng, South Africa – 2006)

South Africa is the land of dreams. The cap that apartheid placed on the aspirations of people and on their potential for power and influence has been lifted. South African political leadership demonstrated to the world grit and determination to free itself from slavery followed by the magnanimity to forgive those who had oppressed them. It is not an exaggeration to say that a parallel does not exist in recent history.

The Boy and the Rock

The famous rocks of Banjara Hills are all gone. They lasted for 3.5 billion years, through ice ages, meteor impact, they saw the dinosaurs come and go, they saw civilizations rise and fall, until we came on the scene. The rest is history

Forest of the night
See with your Heart

Forest of the night

There are two forests. The day forest and the night forest. To experience this you must walk in the forest, with not more than a single companion. A companion who knows how to handle himself in the forest, who understands the forest and who is familiar with it. Not a companion that needs looking after.

Raising sons
Where are the leaders

Raising sons

Our boys are spaced out. We have a major boy-raising problem which should be addressed urgently. Boys are raised badly thanks to a combination of disinterested fathers and overindulgent mothers. Mothers ruin boys. They don’t ruin girls. Girls are taught boundaries, manners, caring, responsibility and accountability. But not boys. Especially not in Middle Eastern and South Asian cultures. Boys are indulged and their hormone induced bad behavior is tolerated and indulged and explained away as, “Boys will be boys.” That leeway is not given to girls.

What is in my control

... My motto is: “I will not allow what is not in my control to prevent me from doing what is in my control.” There is no copyright on this. You are welcome to use it without giving me credit. You are even more welcome to practice it yourself, because results come only from action. Not from talking about taking action.
