How Will You Get from How Things Are to How Things "Should" Be?
A lot of people get fixated on things that they think "should" happen, but fail to address substantial obstacles in the way. I may even agree with them about what I think "should" happen. But that doesn't mean that it's going to happen. If you're thinking that there is also a danger in being overly cautious or waiting to work out the perfect plan, you're right. That can become a form of procrastination. Acting on an imperfect plan is usually better than waiting until you've worked out every last detail. But at least have some kind of plan that doesn't require a miracle to happen.
The plan that works will also probably not be the plan you started with. You will have to update the plan as you proceed and the situation evolves.
A good model for this process is John Boyd's OODA decision making loop. OODA stands for Observe, Orient, Decide, Act. Actions produce responses that provide new information. New information requires reorientation and new decisions will have to be made that lead to new actions, and the loop repeats.
No big changes happened because a bunch of people sat around complaining about how things "should be."
That's like saying "l should be a millionaire." You could be, but you're going to need some kind of plan to get there that realistically acknowledges the obstacles in your way.
Many of the problems we face today took years to create.
We have inherited a big mess. A lot of things happened that "should not" have happened. Mistakes were made.
But that's life. It's going to throw all kinds of things at you that are sub-optimal. Things you didn't "deserve" or ask for. Cleaning up messes you didn't create is as normal as dealing with bad weather.
Some messes only require a dustpan.
But if you want to clean up a really big mess, you're going to need a plan.

TEXT III
The English schools looking to dispel ‘doom and gloom' around Al
Charles Darwin chatting with students about evolution, primary school pupils seeing their writing transformed into images, Luton reimagined as a cool automobile - artificial intelligence is invading schools across England in surprising ways.
While Bridget Philipson, the education secretary, in January called for a “digital revolution” involving Al in schools, it has already begun in places such as Willowdown primary school in Bridgwater, Somerset.
Matt Cave, Willowdown's head teacher, said his pupils improve their descriptive writing by feeding their work into an Al client to generate images.
“All of a sudden they've got all these pictures from different people’s descriptions, and they can then discuss with their classmates whether that was the image they expected to be in the reader’s head,” Cave said.
“It was really stimulating and thought-provoking for them to have a different audience.” The results, according to Cave, have been "brilliant” and a contrast to the “doom and gloom” he had heard from worried school leaders.
“I wouldn't want anyone to think we weren't aware of the potential hazards - we emphasise that to the children continually. But it's going to be a tool that they are going to need to use all their lives,” Cave said.
Marina Wyatt, head of science for key stage 3 at Furze Platt senior school in Maidenhead, said that she has found teacher-led use of Al useful for engaging students in discussions, including with a virtual Charles Darwin.
In the prompt we tell it to respond as Charles Darwin, and stay in the role. And it works. It came up with some brilliant stuff.
