🎨 How Education Drains the Color Out of Us
Schools are supposed to make us love learning, but instead they often do the opposite by force-feeding information.
Students get so conditioned that they say things are interesting just because they are supposed to, not because they mean it. People enter school full of color and come out gray and numb.

- First instinct: What does the teacher want to hear?
- Classic student question: Will this be on the test?

- System 1: Fast, gut-feeling, intuitive
- System 2: Slow, logical, analytical
Schools focus on System 2. But as AI takes over logical tasks, your intuition becomes your superpower.
