Key insights 📚 Everything is available for free, you don't need college to learn stuff. 🎮 Education should be as close to a video game as possible to make it interactive and engaging, like a good video game. 💡 Traditional teaching methods may not be as effective as personalized learning tailored to individual interests and pace of progress. 📚 Musk created a small school called Ad Astra with a unique approach to education, focusing on individualized learning without grades. 🧠 It's important to teach problem solving or teach to the problem, not to the tools. 🛠️ Learning by taking things apart and understanding their components is a much better method than just being told how to do it. 🧠 "The more you can gamify the process of learning the better."
I had ADD and hardly remembered anything from school. I rarely heard what the teacher was saying and rarely knew what was going on the with the assignments. Then, I got interested in theology. I got a bachelors in philosophy, a masters in theology, and a master of arts in biblical exegesis. I then went on to start a completely new career in software. I find what Elon is saying to be completely true. I got almost nothing educationally from school until I had questions I wanted to answer. Then, school was just a platform for what I already wanted to learn. I learned a lot about how to learn, but I often wonder whether it was worth the time and debt. The most foundational thing has been a hunger for knowledge and increasing zeal for how to deeply attain it. Far more important have been development of discipline and habits of skill acquisition. But I could have probably learned that from something like martial arts just as easily as grad school.
The problem is, many people assume that just because college is not necessary to be smart (which I believe it isn't) then it means it's somehow detrimental to your growth. Many can make great use of it. Look at the top 100 richest people on Earth - many of them have graduated.
Allow them to progress at fastest pace they can per subject no grades is Montessori in some way they allow them to do one area as much as they want and go up as fast as they want we need this more
I was once but than it came twice. What do we know about dogs that love the owner? But than we should thank for the love existing. I believe it's the good drive.
I got banned to drop, or I will be pushed to the street (and even one time I invested in stocks and I had 75% profit in 2 weeks, and my father "blocked" the account (then I learn that "my account" was controlled by him),... yes, life is so...
The problem in schools and universities is that teachers there do not explain why you are learning what they are teaching you. Students don't know the purpose of it. What is the goal? What will it give? How can it help in their lives? Who can they become? Where is the inspiration? That is why I didn't even go to college. I have never seen purposeful lessons in the schools I attended (I went to 4 different schools, though one was better than the rest, but it quickly became worse, so I changed). In my opinion, the smarter people are, the more they are responsible for this world. So, schools don’t need to make armies of stupid dummies. Instead, they could make people knowledgeable - people interests on social media would change from shit to something really good(so and content - creators are just giving what people want). Yes, there certainly will be difficulties, but don’t we have them now? Maybe finally the time has come to really make people smart? Make them independent and goal-oriented? The history shows that the world is young. People make enormous mistakes, even those in charge, until someday, somebody changes that for new and better.
Okay well if you cant google why you are learning what you are learning in school then how would you ever figure out how to teach yourself anything? College is expensive but unless somebody is going to teach you it is definitely the fastest way to learn. The problem with self teaching is that you have no idea what the prerequisites to certain things are. You end up learning random things without a solid base and you will not be as well rounded. You also don't even know what you should learn and even if you do most people require a degree to get jobs and promotions. Some people are capable of self teaching and being super successful but at the same time that is not very common. If you don't find the value in school that's your own problem because you weren't trying. When you go to college you can either try to make the most of it or you can tell yourself its a waste of time. At the end of the day your mindset is what really limits you.
@@Brad-qw1te It really depends on your life goals. I guess my goals are too big for college or university. I plan to go to college though - not because I need it to get a job and work like a slave 9-5 for the end of my life, but just because I truly want and I’m interested in that. But it’s not what I meant. I was speaking more about schools where the system teaches you some stuff like Mendeleev's table, I don't know, some physical formulas etc. Advanced math. Where would I need that in life if I, for example, want to become somebody else in a career? Could you explain that to me, please? Why schools don’t give actually valuable things like for example proper nutrition - food people should eat and shouldn’t to have a good health. Why nobody gives you any ability to choose your own path from the young age and you can do that only when you decide which university to go? Why schools don’t teach you how to count your finances and pay taxes. Why schools don’t teach you how to talk with people properly(some of the kids have this skill from their parents for sure, but not everybody for certain). Why schools don’t teach how to..well, make money, man?

Rain on the roof wind on the gate and I'm here in this solitude wind on the window our room is cold and I'm here without your hug, crazy to smell you...........
The city lights are on, brightening your photo on the table, flying at the speed of my thoughts and I go looking for you on the corners and anywhere and sometimes I even find you in a.......
