( Comments for Policy of Truth ) Comment on Failing the Empathy Exams Yet Again, Starring Chat GPT by Robert McParland
In reply to Irfan Khawaja. Such a wise response, Irfan. And the abdication of higher education indeed. Without philosophy, history, and literature the direction sadly is toward human robots. One might consider Jacques Ellul contra La Mettrie… or …
