I'm unironically anti education except basic literacy how do you minimize the harm of education while giving people the most basic skills?

@cafkafk Originally introduction of compulsory education was a big driver of limitations on child labor. Do you think the situation is different enough that that would not be a problem, or do you expect some specific replacement to mitigate that?

@robryk Honestly, I'd just make the minimun wage for child labour 10x that of an adult worker

@cafkafk The problem with that is that most(?) of child labor was unpaid, performed for the family.

@robryk the kids get universal basic income and the same rights as anyone else, if they wanna move out they should be allowed too, a classical statist move is too abuse familial piety but if there must be a state it should at least be set up in such a way as to protect the childrens autonomy and safety from abuse
@robryk @cafkafk nostalgia i remember working during schooldays in my families shop back when i was 13
