Losing Skills

from Walk and Talk · host Mark Allardyce

We are teaching machines to think.At the same time, many humans are slowly losing the very skills that helped our species survive.Instinct. Judgement. Bonding. Caring.The ability to act under pressure without certainty.The ability to protect each other when life becomes uncertain.I’ve been thinking deeply about what humanity may be losing in an increasingly screen-saturated world… and why those lost skills may become the most valuable things we possess.This piece explores why families, nature and real-world experience may matter more in the age of AI than ever before.
