“Because progress isn’t about building faster rockets. It’s about making sure everyone’s onboard” That alone is worth many restacks.

I cannot express how much your writing gives me contemplation. I was born in Nam Định, but the inner city, and I can recall how dreadful and deadly quiet the provincial streets were. It was all a life that makes me feel at odds with mine in the city. I really question not just the future of education, but the future of pushing frontiers and forming megacities where dwellers are isolated walls after walls without having that real, tangible connection. And work feels cold like the salaries and the productivity KPIs on the computer screen also. Should we also factor urban planning as a way to better connect people?

oh thank you very much for reading. to add my two cents into your questions, I think that yes we should, in fact, we must. to my understanding, factors like housing and cultural spaces, which are essential in connecting people, like parks, museums, are vital parts in urban planning. if you live in a city and have ever struggled with finding somewhere to hang out with your friends apart from coffee shops, poor urban planning is part of why.
