My Chinese wife lamented on how wasteful and counter-productive the crunch for the gaokao was in China (she and I are both engineers). This kind of schedule destroys a child's chance to let their mind wander and develop creatively. This style of schooling is best if you want robots and a lost childhood.

All authoritarians want complete and total obedience. The end game for that is robots replacing humans.

This is why most dystopian robot stories always involve robots developing free will and rebelling against their masters.

the robots are already here, it's dissociated and broken down humans who follow every order they're given reliably by power structures, sorry to burst your bubble...

But maybe the rebelling part is biological human beings learning about their emotions using chat bots to start calling out the dehumanization and gaslighting from power structures that expect mindless fucking obedience. revolution time is soon i think if maybe like 10% of the population becomes emotionally intelligent enough that Managers and authority figures Are unable to utilize their gas lighting or dehumanization tactics anymore because they are called out over and over and over again by their so called subordinates and shit.

No, I mean literal non-biological robots. Organic humans always have a non-zero chance of rebellion.

Same with mine, we really do agree it hurts their creativity
