AI in Education: The Forbidden Tool Students Aren’t Allowed to Use (But Teachers Do)

Image
The rapid advancement of AI has transformed every aspect of modern life, including education, yet academic institutions continue to grapple with its implications. While students naturally embrace these powerful tools to enhance their learning, many professors and universities remain reluctant to fully acknowledge this reality. This resistance creates a peculiar contradiction - educators who spend years conducting traditional research often prohibit students from using AI, even as they themselves increasingly rely on these same tools for preparing lectures, creating assignments, and even aiding their own research. At the heart of this tension lies a profound generational divide. Today's students are digital natives who have grown up with smartphones, instant information access, and AI-powered assistants as integral parts of their daily lives. Their cognitive processes and problem-solving approaches are fundamentally shaped by this technological environment. In contrast, most educa...

The Illusion of Protection: How Ukraine’s Trust Led to Its Downfall

  Once a hunter in ‘Linjiang’ caught a young ‘ David ’s deer. It was so lovely that the hunter decided to take it home to raise. As soon as he entered his house, his dogs ran over and stared at the little deer, mouths watering. The man shouted at them to go away. From then on, he kept showing the dogs the David’s deer and warned them not to hurt it. Finally, he let the dogs play with the deer.   To his delight, they lived peacefully. The little David’s deer grew up to forget its identity.   It took the dogs as its friends and played all kinds of games with them, which brought them even closer.   The dogs, however, kept on good terms with the deer only for the sake of their master. They often dreamed of tasting the David’s deer, which made their mouths water. Three years passed and the young David’s deer had grown up. One day it happened to go out and found many dogs from other households playing on the road. It joined in the fun, but was encircled and eaten, lea...

The Unheard Lamb: Small Nations in the Shadow of Superpower Appetites

  One day, a hungry wolf spotted a lamb drinking peacefully from a stream. Determined to devour the lamb, the wolf sought to justify his cruelty with false accusations. Wolf (fiercely): "How dare you muddy the water I’m about to drink?" Lamb (meekly): "Forgive me, sir, but that’s impossible. The water flows from you to me—how could I disturb it upstream?" Wolf (growling): "Enough excuses! A year ago, you slandered me behind my back!" Lamb (gently): "But sir, I wasn’t even born then." Wolf (snarling): "Then it was your brother!" Lamb (innocently): "I have no brothers." Wolf (with finality): "It was one of your kind—no more lies!" With that, the wolf pounced, dragged the lamb into the woods, and devoured him. Moral of the Story: When a tyrant seeks a pretext for cruelty, no logic or innocence can stop him. Might often overrules right. #MightVsRight #PowerAndOppression #FalsePretexts #Injustice #Tyranny...

The Power of Fables

  The renowned Greek orator 'Demades ' once addressed an assembly in Athens on a matter of great importance yet struggled to hold his audience’s attention. The crowd whispered among themselves, distracted by children playing nearby, and showed no interest in his speech. Pausing briefly, ' Demades ' began anew: "One day, the goddess Ceres journeyed with a Swallow and an Eel." The crowd fell silent, every ear now keen to hear his words. "When they reached a river," he continued, "the Eel swam across, and the Swallow flew over." Having captured their attention, Demades returned to his original speech. But the people erupted: "What of Ceres? Tell us—what did the goddess do?" Demades replied, "She was furious—just as she is now—that people open their ears to fables but close them to truth and wisdom."
