I agree with most of what this article argues.

At the same time, when I think about rejecting a new idea or tool, I wonder whether we might be resisting a change that could be beneficial to the broader population in the long run. It reminds me of how, when calculators first became widely available, teachers resisted their use in early grades out of concern that they would make students “dumb”.

I don’t think we’ll ever reach a clear consensus on what is good or bad, or on which ideas should be rejected versus accepted.
