Ep. 08
Back in the 50’s the RAND corporation sponsored some research to get a bunch of dudes to learn from the JOHNNIAC about how to solve problems. Seems RAND’s computer was super good at it. From that point, we have a whole mess of folks who are out there trying to convince us that solving problems like computers is what we should all be doing. Funny story, turns out they were also working on some systems that would do all that problem solving without us. It’s not a conspiracy story, no one’s that smart. It’s just a story about how we shouldn’t be teaching people to solve problems. We should be helping them with the grey space. The middle. The liminal. The uncertain.
