Everything Sal describes are things that every parent should be doing already. So you're effectively obsoleting parents, and incentivizing them to do less. Every time we incentivize humans to do less in some area, we make them weaker in that area.

Did you miss the Socratic questions, coaching, tutoring, and exploring your own Logic?

[@andybaldman]

@@dyera3 Sure. But the fact is, most people are not going to use it that way. People could have used the internet to improve themselves, too. But they just spend all day insulting each other on Twitter, and buying things because everything is an ad now.
