Re:Ask HN: What to teach my kid if AI does math and CS? by ferguess_k on Thursday January 15, 2026 @11:08AM (#46634622)
I don't think there is an alternate. Math and logics are mandatory for everything, not just CS. I'd teach Math, Science (Phys and Chem, biased towards history and experiments), Native Language (reading/writing/making speeches), History, one foreign language (mostly speaking but also some reading), Survival skills. Then I'll follow his interests to teach him something else.

I think the ^ are the minimum a good citizen needs. If you can't teach all of them maybe let him go to school as well, or hire someone to do the part you can't.

Regarding the future, yeah I share the some worry, but I guess we all have to go through it.

Yes, that makes sense. I am trying to think about what the alternative is, but I also don't see it.
