The Examined Education | Questioning the Current State of Education

I totally agree with you!

  • "A good education will consist in teaching the principles of thought.
  • Who said that education has to remain in the schools?
  • I have used the Socratic method not just on teachers, but also on other professionals. Here is the fun part. By the 3rd questions, you sense that they know what is happening and they look for way out. So, this shows me that they are aware of their amateurish relationship to their profession. Hence, the insecurity. Watch for that moment next time. You can sense it or even see it in their eyes."

I love your opinions on education. I think that the education system in its current state isn't worth trying to change, at least within a meaningful timeframe. I think that we are not far off from alternative educations becoming mainstream (online academies, internship/hands-on based programs, etc.)... Blockchain is exciting to me because it makes the prospect of individualized and incentive-based education possible. Also, check out the below video of Neil Degrasse Tyson. He talks about the 2 different types of "thinkers". I found it very interesting and think you may as well! Thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts!

This is a must-watch video for everyone! So many people are wrapped up in the wrong mentality when it comes to thinking!

He nails it. Especially with the AI advance, one needs to really think about thinking ;-). Since you brought up the blockchain I will throw my opinion on it too. The blockchain allows for any idea to grow or shrink depending on its merits. There is no such thing as taboo idea on the blockchain. There is no central authority to devalue it and set the tone for the masses to devalue it too. If it is the truth , it is the truth.
We are just starting my friend ;-)
Enjoy the ride!
