Science teacher here. The most meaningful part of the book for me has been the title. This one statement: "Things fall apart" is one of the most important and fundamental ideas to teach kids in science.

It's the law of entropy.

Thank you.

I want to understand your argument. My writing might sound snarky, so I apologize to you in advance.

1. Wouldn't the algorithm be written by a human?
2. Wouldn't the reintegration happen by a human?
3. Aren't all decisions made by humans?

I don't understand how remove the human element.

I recommend reading the book "Weapons of Math Destruction". The author describes several mathematically sound algorithms that produce terrible outcomes.

Here is an example: An algorithm helps judges decide if someone should get probation. Part of the calculation includes the likelihood that they will be arrested again.

The problem is that currently, your more likely to be arrested if you're black.

The algorithm becomes racist accidentally. This is just one example of how dangerous it is to base all of your choices on "logic and reason".

"Your inner fish" is a great read.
