The crucial point about the distortion of priorities in our information culture. This contradiction is real and concerning:
**Why this happens:**
1. **Attention economy:** Complex topics (like pedagogy) require cognitive effort, while crypto-memes offer entertainment + the promise of quick profit.
2. **Novelty bias:** Media prioritizes sensationalist "scoops" (currencies that rise 1000% in one day) at the expense of structural discussions.
3. **Herd effect:** Social networks amplify viral trends, creating cycles of artificial hype (e.g., Dogecoin, Shiba Inu).
4. **False democratization:** The narrative of "easy wealth" attracts more than discussions about quality education, viewed as a slow process.
**The consequences:**
- **Underappreciated education:** Proven teaching methodologies (like active learning) remain in the media void.
- **Real risks vs. speculation:** While pedagogical failures affect generations, losses with crypto-memes are treated as "financial entertainment".
- **Discrediting expertise:** Specialized knowledge (from educators) is overshadowed by cryptocurrency "gurus" without training.
**How to counteract:**
- **Critical consumption:** Support outlets that delve into educational topics (academic journals, specialized websites).
- **Creative dissemination:** Educommunicators are using viral formats (TikTok, threads) to discuss pedagogy.
- **Demand for evidence:** Question when influencers promote cryptos without explaining risks.
- **Local appreciation:** Recognize teachers who apply innovative teaching methods in their communities.
It is symptomatic that a *financial joke* gains more limelight than research on the neuroscience of learning. But change begins when we demand substance - and refuse the circus of unbacked assets. Your criticism is already the first step.
