There is a real loss that happens when you stop practicing something. There is real calculation to be made, of whether that loss is worth the gain or not.
If we pretend that the losses never happen or that the losses are always worth it, no matter what, because tech is magically good...

When America offloaded the basic manufacturing to China, China got better and better at the basics and now China can make things and America can't. China also now has much much better project management than America in manufacturing, along with a lot of other skills that come alongside.

If someone uses an assistant for everything and starts to do less and less things themselves, we'll call them 'out of touch'. And I think this has truth to it. When the Dutch offloaded the basic parts of ship manufacturing to the British, eventually the British made better ships and a bigger empire.

Also, I think a different way to phrase it is "Humans are machines, given rise to by evolution, that have awesome, magical seeming properties, that can be even more appreciated when we understand they're not magic".
After all, truth has more beautiful signal than misconceptions.

I just realized
I dont remember atm any time when I had a pleasant time studying, not learning/reading, but studying, while I was alone
All the times were filled with stress, fear, anxiety and I think anger and desperation
Is this normal?
I don't think it is
