Fuck, Naval just said " school is a day care centre" what the hell is happening to the world. Reality hit hard.

7:25 onwards is pure GOLD 🥇

Naval is right it's really not hard to catch up. When i was 9-10 years old i became so ill that i missed school for like 2 years straight and once i got back i had to start immediately in the same class as everyone else my age. I remember the adults around me being so impressed because i caught up right away. There was no transition period, i just got on with my work lol

I agree 100% I started applying solitude to my life few months back and my learning curve has literally skyrocketed In last 6 months , I have learned more than my degree and whole school combined

My comment might be solipsistic, but I'd like to add something about going to university that I wish I knew before I went: Universities are behemoths. Global conglomerates even. Slow to change. I went to a big university on a full scholarship hoping to actually learn and to grow. Undoubtedly learning and growth happen at college, but that's not universities' main product. Universities exist primarily to create graduates, not foster genius or philanthropy or awesomeness in general. If you'd like to learn how to shut up, grind, and keep your head down, you will succeed in uni. If you want to open your mind and grow, well...it might be a total waste of time, and you might hate school. I did. I dropped out, and I wish I'd never gone. Edit: corrected syntax

Naval's comments on schools being a small group prison camp where you're forced to sit there and do what you're told to do all day hit me hard. This is how we grew up, and we were told this is the only way to success and a good like. I've always thought of schools as a way to ensure that kids learned the fundamental skills of language and math and get a vasic understanding of life. But it's also so true that it is a rigid assembly line machine where kids are not free to explore and dive into true knowledge. If I apply Elon Mask's way to approach the Platonic ideal product on education: first imagine the ideal education, then figure out the tools and means to get there --maybe that's the way to rethink education.

I want to go to magnet school and become a magnet!

Superbly put. 6:46 onwards

TLDR : someone with drive and know what they want is unmatched in speed of learning and execution. Schools create an environment where we are largely detached from that and are distracted by nonsense and forced compliance. If not to the rules of the school then to the rules of the social structure that is inevitable. As a child i was highly anti social. I didn't trust people, only my family. When I went to school I didn't like anyone there, I had barely 1 friend. fought with everyone else. I remember the only reason I ever listened was because if I was bad at school they would involve my parents. Once i entered the job market and no longer under that kind of pressure i quickly let myself go because i had no drive for anything. No purpose or direction, and i still hate external authority. I am respectful only because of the culture not sincerely. It took me half assery and tomfoolery to figure out what i want in life. Now I am on a completely different level. I am well aware of the numerous opportunities i failed to leverage, only because of my own ignorance and detachment to myself.

Love

Wow he hit on the head!

Great thanks ❤️🔥🎉👍👍

I prefer solitude.

don't read the subtitles

What is this from? (What is the original broadcast?)

CS is more like logic in machines more so than math

Out of my 27 years after turning 18 I have wasted a lot of it, time to change.

Love from Pakistan ❣️❣️ thank you

Socialisation doesn’t create the problems its the way its done in the west. Other cultures are built for social interaction

well there's much more to college than the knowledge...mostly you learn to live on your own, get along with others, socialize, and mostly just "finish something"...what you do with the degree gives you a foundation in life to build on...so if you want to go you should, the experience alone is worth the price...Class of 92/Auburn University

this is the truth

I think socialization is the biggest benefit of schools and all compliance is not bad. bad socialization can be a concern and I do agree that schools have become woke so the education and liberty suffers. Human beings need structure and a day "job" so a full time student life is needed.

7:50 solitude 9:18 me

How do unschooled (no home school, no regular school) kids get into college and what kind of college do they get into? Isn't their life shot unless they can run a business. How will they learn to read and write and add?

I'm nineteen can i still apply this ?

can you name the compleate podcast

What are schools actually?

Look at schools in Finland 🇫🇮 that’s how schools supposed to function. ☝️ Michael Moore did a great documentary about it. Also Elon Musk created his own type of school for his kids.

Tell that to a great stand up comedian lol

Are business degrees worth it?

Your captions are absolutely full of errors

Exceptional consumers are built in solitude, take anything you hear from an investor or CEO with a grain of salt. A capitalist economy thrives on individuals who can't collectivise without identifying through a brand.
