In this episode of We Are Still Human, Phillip Kemp warns of a near future where degrees lose their value as students outsource critical thinking to AI. He argues that the true measure of education has always been the scars of struggle — the bruises of failure, the courage of asking hard questions, the memory of mistakes carried forward. As general AI floods classrooms with polished but hollow answers, Kemp draws a line: the most valuable individuals of the next five years will not be the fluent AI users, but the scarred thinkers who refuse the easy path. This is a manifesto for survival in a counterfeit age — a reminder that only those who keep thinking will endure.
