I am sure you could survive without almonds.

And this is why I stay in my basement.

Ah, I said speakers, not native speakers. 545 million Hindi speakers, 636 million Spanish (fairly close), 1.5 billion English.

Spanish and Hindi have pretty much the same number of speakers.

But as I understand it, what is taught is European French. Just like standard English is taught in the UK even if you live in a place with a strong regional accent.

400 million people speak French, 600 million Hindu. So I presume you would rather Canadians learn Hindu over French? Or Mandarin (1 billion)?

Not so much these days. The only composing he does these day is the de variety.

Not only is French used in Canada, but also in France and many parts of Africa. Plus, it's a beautiful language and learning a foreign language is intellectually stimulating for young minds. And the French taught is Metropolitan French, so widely applicable. Given all these factors, it seems very reasonable for it to be taught in Canadian schools. It was one of the foreign languages I was taught beyond my native English and I'm incredibly rusty but I'm very glad I had the opportunity.

That's a bold statement.

As someone else said "Those aren't the wrong notes, they are the right notes, just not necessarily in the right order".

We just don't know all the details, but your characterisation is incorrect, unless you going to start invoking dualism.

Whilst it is true that we don't know in detail how the human mind works, currently LLMs seem to be useful, so working the same as a human mind isn't necessarily required. Model collapse ultimately is possible, but most likely probably people are modelling the likelihood of that.

I misread that as fires, which do seem to have been implemented this year.

Even if there was, literacy and literacy in English are two different things. Countries can have more than one official language For example, Wales has Welsh and English, but fluency in Welsh is not required for you to live in Wales.
