Everyone Likes #Reading. Why Are We So Afraid of It? #Book#ans, #chatbots, #pedagogical #warfare: What it means to #read has become a #minefield. The #ReadingCrisis reverberates at the higher reaches of educational system too. As #CorporateManagement models, #zealous #State Legislatures refashion the #academy into a #gated #outpost of the #GigEconomy, humanities have lost their luster for #undergraduates - fewer and fewer students are #majoring in #English https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/21/books/review/book-bans-humanities-ai.html

Apparently he can't #mix a tune that's keyed in #Aminor to one that's #CMAJOR, both composed in 4/4 time signatures.
I quite literally had to double take that comment in. Anyone that knows music should understand what I said and why I'm in #disbelief over it.
