I spend most of my days inside a system I don’t fully trust.
It tells me what to learn, when to learn it, and how success is measured but it rarely explains why this version of learning is the correct one.
And the more I pay attention, the more one question keeps coming back: What if the system isn’t broken, but working exactly as designed?
I’m a student and a writer. Those two roles don’t always sit comfortably together. One asks for answers. The other keeps breaking them apart.
That tension became a project I call “Dumb by Design.” Not a complaint. Not a manifesto. More like a record of what happens when you start questioning the structure you’re supposed to succeed in.
Sometimes it’s critique. Sometimes it’s ideas for alternatives. Sometimes it’s just noticing things that feel off but are rarely said out loud.
I don’t know yet where this will lead. But I’m writing it here as it develops before it becomes something polished enough to stop feeling honest.
If you’ve ever looked at the way we learn and felt a quiet contradiction sitting underneath it all, you’ll probably understand why this exists. https://a.co/d/0jfqHFPa
