If you fly me out to Singapore I will help you cook, clean, and iron

@moonlightgamers1436 by using the internet! lots of excellent materials like this video also certificates etc. often better than what you can get in person.

@moonlightgamers1436 you can self-teach everything, given enough motivation. Aside of some physical experiments, of course - if relevant to what you're doing. You also need to be very good at organizing yourself so it's not for everyone.

@moonlightgamers1436 note that I'm not saying necessarily that degrees shouldn't exist, but the internet offers vastly increased personalization (a problem that traditional education has always struggled with, as people have very different needs and physical educational resources are very limited) and could certify skill in an entirely different, more focused and optimized way. Traditional education at least until thesis / PHD is designed basically for mass consumption, which was the best that could be done historically but doesn't really hold anymore with the new technologies and tools available. Recently, also AI, e.g. ChatGPT is existentially threatening traditional education models (which includes too if those models are replicated online of course), so the whole system is ready for a fundamental overhaul.

@moonlightgamers1436 you're clearly biased and wrong. Since you bring up personal anecdotes, let me bring up mine as well: I always had trouble staying focused in university classes, I don't like much being crammed in small rooms with lots of people, so I ended learning mostly at home anyway (huge waste of time, since I had to attend classes too). I wrote good grades out of pressure but generally university was very discouraging and it prevented me from truly connecting to the content. Now moving from the anecdotes back to the general: physical universities are also extremely exclusionary, and not in the good way, many exclude based on economic status and geographic location, and even if it was completely fair there would be just not enough capacity to give education to everyone that's adequate to skill / talent. Online education is not only youtube (though there's PRETTY GOOD content here, including video recordings of full courses at top universities or online-first classes like what we're watching here, detailed step by steps, if you happen to not understand one you can try another, etc) and Coursera, but buying the big detailed books used at University in Amazon (or subscribing to a library). And interacting with other people and asking questions can be done in communities (can't find one? you can create it). For example in Khan Academy the discussion is excellent. And there are more niche communities. Next question is how do I prove myself, and that's where you have to get more creative, e.g. writing, figuring out something new, open source, etc. that also pushes you to invest your time wisely and have concrete goals from the start instead of learning semi-robotically. Yes currently especially in science there's extreme gate-keeping where people obsess over traditional credentials, so indeed you will have difficulties without a degree (not impossible though), but that needs to change.

Sometimes they forget how to teach and just turn into textbooks

That's inane, Jesse. To "be sure their students understand the material" needs a feedback loop. If you missed something, how do you think they'll know?

My friend discovered a single SNP that causes cancer in humans.

Absolutely 👌

THIS

Actually very enlightening, fascinating ....and seals the deal for my belief in a designer, Creator, the whole shebang... but I really did fall asleep while watching!!

This is why and how plants CURE us lowly evolved mammals.

THe one gentleman asked how and why each persons genome sequencing has its own unique qualities. Depending on your ancestors exposure to viral/bacterial/fungal within their environment throughout their lives at a chronic long term exposure rate, those organisms incorporate THEMSELVES aka their own genome DNA into YOUR original DNA genome sequences, called deletions of your own pattern of genes. This is how a genetic disorder or aka, genetic evolution, becomes part of the persons own DNA pattern/sequence, and then that there is replicated as a constant and passed onto your offspring. This is how DNA is created or the multi-organism. An multi organism is multiple organisms co-existing symbiotically with each other. When biochemists map the pattern of each persons unique DNA sequencing, its the differences of the viral/bacterial/fungal patterns, that naturally map back against the parents because the parents give half of their own DNA to their children.

hey hi could you help teach me some basic high school physics. It would be a huge help to me

same thing
