The global edtech boom is fading as investors look elsewhere
Venture capital is moving away from K-12 edtech worldwide as investors prioritize AI tools and workforce training with clearer returns.

It’s worth noting that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, originator of the bad deductive rule in question, spent his later years falling for and vehemently defending a variety of hoaxes involving fairies and communicating with the dead:

But absurdity is no impediment to religious belief—credo quia absurdum. Working mostly off-campus, I noticed no real change in my own university until the BLM-riot-inspired anti-racism crisis of 2020, when I found that academe, originally a place for the free exchange of ideas, had become almost unrecognizable. Higher education has begun a transformation along the same lines as the 1966 “Cultural Revolution” in Maoist China.

The Multiversity and its Discontents: The Evolution of a Fatal Flaw — Minding The Campus
A well-known podcaster has the custom of going “off the grid” for a month each summer, to gain some perspective. I can beat that: I have been retired from academic teaching and research for nearly 14 years and have rarely visited my campus during that time.

For once, I'm happy to have a vehicle that runs on petrol, fuel economy be damned. There's no diesel available anywhere around here! Sold out and hoarded by panicked drivers while the supply is blocked up by protesters.
