aside from which the idea that learning initiatives are all as simply equivalent as touching hot stoves is idiotic.

There is little reward in touching a hot stove more than once however there is a great reward from learning to walk.

When small children fall over, the furthest they usually fall is a couple of feet. It might make them cry, but it won't lea ve them with injuries, like a hot stove will.
And you can make a small child cry without hurting them at all, e.g. by saying "Boo!".

Tell me you've never had small children without telling me you've never had small children

Raised two. They're now in their thirties, and they have all their teeth and no broken bones.
What worries me more than billionaires funding learning initiatives is how many people fall for this kind of "reasoning" when it's about something they're primed to not like - where they'd reject it in any other context.
I mean, seriously. Small children will touch a hot stove only once, yet try to walk despite repeatedly tripping up. Obviously they don't learn from experience.
