I've tried getting better at touch typing a few times. Interestingly, if I do so, I get pretty bad wrist/finger pain (rsi I guess?) so I've not stuck with it.

I'm genuinely curious: how do you think reducing aggregate brainpower could lead to better outcomes?

"Furthermore, it's actively harmful to send your kids out into the world without the kinds of modern tools that would make them safer and more independent."

Interesting. I think there's a balance to be had here. Making our kids "too safe" I think may lead to a lack of resilience. I'll certainly be teaching my kid how to read a map (orienteering), and I suspect the sense of autonomy and self-reliance they'll get from knowing they can get from A to B without needing GPS will be a very good thing.

That said, we probably will get them a dumbphone to put in the bottom of their bag for if they really get stuck. I have no plan to have tracking etc. though. No way.
