#0292: Real Education

  • education
  • students
  • learning
  • knowledge
  • universals

The post argues that humanity’s divisions stem mainly from uneven and ineffective education, which misleads people into thinking they know while drowning facts in contradictory opinions; it calls for “real” learning that follows students’ own curiosities—removing rigid grades, tests, and subject blocks—to give them tools (telescope, computers) so they can explore science and the world themselves. It claims that borders and a handful of wealthy, uneducated leaders perpetuate mistakes because experience alone is not wisdom; it further stresses that poverty of mind follows real poverty, but that the planet is one family—so true unity will come only when education grants intellectual independence, enabling citizens to vote wisely and the United Nations to agree on plans for prosperity. The post ends by encouraging hope: if change isn’t immediate, keep building bridges toward such personalized, curiosity‑driven learning so future voters can bring truth back into politics.

#0291: Horizons, Knowledge, and Predispositions

  • reading
  • books
  • travel
  • adventure
  • personal development
  • learning

The post argues that expanding our horizons—by reading, traveling, and taking on new adventures—serves as a living compass that enlarges cognition, instinct, and knowledge. It illustrates this idea with examples such as starting small hikes before tackling larger projects like government‑led conservation work, and shows how following one’s own predispositions can bloom us into artists, adventurers, scientists or leaders who bridge gaps for humanity. Continuous learning guided by heart and curiosity is presented as the key to realizing this ever‑enlarging horizon.

#0290: Living Life

  • culture
  • travel
  • nature
  • sleep
  • work-life-balance
  • learning
  • startup

Culture switching, whether by living abroad or simply embracing new habits, is presented as a powerful way to learn and grow: it shows that culture is fluid, exposes us to fresh experiences, and helps remove old discomforts while boosting courage. The author stresses the importance of simple routines—sleeping when dark, rising with sunrise—and traveling, such as hiking the Appalachian Trail, to connect with nature’s rhythm and cultivate long‑term thought. He argues that learning involves embracing discomfort, not avoiding it, and that balancing work, study, and self‑care keeps our brains creative and healthy. By projecting ourselves into our future elder selves and giving them gifts of youthful insight, we keep the mind active and hopeful. In sum, continual cultural adaptation, disciplined living, and entrepreneurial practice together foster a balanced life in which one can become an independent thinker, illuminated by each new step.

#0289: Please, Don't Forget To Share Your Wisdom

  • poetry
  • inspiration
  • life lessons
  • self help
  • books
  • autobiography
  • reflection
  • storytelling

The post encourages us to “rise” in order to gain an eagle‑eye perspective of the world so that we can recognize and solve problems more effectively; it emphasizes that true decisions come from this clear view, and that only after we are sure of our own influence do we make fully autonomous choices. It then lists various personal battles—stress, disease, poverty, etc.—and stresses the need to fight the right ones, noting how misdirected struggles can be worsened by poverty’s hardships. Finally it points to knowledge transfer through books, memoirs, and stories as a vehicle for learning from previous lifetimes, urging us to write our own autobiography so that future generations may start “at the height” we have reached rather than at the beginning of our struggle.

The post calls for breaking free from the limitations of broken education, religion, and government, urging readers to become citizens of the world first. It stresses that poverty—both material and mental—stifles creativity, but self‑awareness and books can lift us out of this cycle. By understanding our influences, practicing self‑reflection, and uniting humanity through knowledge, we can bring light to darkness and achieve true freedom.

Education is portrayed as both a personal path to wisdom and a global engine of peace; yet current organized schooling reduces learning to rote memorization, stalling true knowledge and leaving societies vulnerable to politics, prejudice, and poverty. The author proposes a shift from standardized grades to individualized, computer‑driven curricula rewarded with real money, arguing that such financial incentives would restore genuine scholarship and empower graduates to become effective leaders. He concludes by imagining a future where humanity transcends its primitive thinking through love, wisdom, and abundance, and asks what kind of thought experiment could capture today’s state.

  • self-development

  • books

The post argues that the best way to beat a liar is simply to stay away from them by walking the path of knowledge, invention, hard work, and wisdom; once you are more knowledgeable than the liar, you can spot their word‑twisting tricks. The author illustrates this with personal anecdotes—like buying homeopathic “medicine” as a teenager and being sold snake‑oil in the Wild West—showing how easily people fall for slick salesmen. He stresses that reading books (especially Bill Bryson’s titles) from middle school onward can give you the tools to climb above the liars, turn knowledge into a sword and shield, and lead you toward greatness.

The post reflects on how truthfulness and personal authenticity shape both individual wisdom and public affairs: when liars gain power the honest rise; complex governments need citizens’ help to restore vision; and true wisdom emerges from inner dignity, clarity of sight, and generations of great minds rather than mere favors. It stresses that authentic work—books, thoughts, deeds—must be complete and cherished so it can inspire successive ages, ensuring humanity’s safety and soundness through continuous, visionary effort.

The post argues that our rapidly changing world is still hampered by old habits and cognitive biases, and stresses the need to question everything for true scientific progress; it claims that once-cultish systems and artificial borders are merely obstacles to knowledge, while modern interconnectedness allows us to break free from narrow beliefs. The author believes that education must become personalized—moving beyond standardized lectures to practical, student‑driven projects—to truly prepare people for real business success and deeper learning across all sciences. By doing so, the text claims we can reduce complexity in solving problems such as money politics, mass incarceration, and poverty, creating a more capable, knowledge‑rich world.

#0283: Our World

  • education
  • videolectures

  • studentloans
  • professors
  • textbooks
  • multifounderstartups
  • worldpeace
  • libraryideas

The author argues that each generation must first identify what went wrong before moving on, noting that past mistakes—wars, racism, inequality, insufficient schooling—recur because education remains shallow and formulaic. He claims real learning should give students knowledge, independence, wisdom, and greatness, not merely grades or rote memorization; otherwise, the cycle of exploitation by “old fat lice” continues, with teachers chasing paychecks, professors selling homemade texts, and universities failing to deliver on promises. To break this loop, he proposes a global, overlapping educational system that records video lectures, publishes narrated books, rewards contributions, and offers multiple redundant paths for knowledge—each path culminating in a diploma. This system would allow students to build start‑ups worldwide and create a “world school” that converges on world peace and a library of ideas; only by abandoning mediocrity and fake learning can future generations be cradled in true knowledge, wisdom, and greatness.

  • education

The post argues that standardized schooling locks minds into a rigid, memorization‑based routine that stifles individuality and passion, leaving students as mere recipients of pre‑chosen lessons rather than active seekers of knowledge. It claims that true learning comes from personalized, lifelong education—video lectures, interactive media, student exchanges, and self‑selected materials—that allows each person to pursue authentic interests, develop independence, entrepreneurship, and wisdom rather than merely filling a cookie‑cutter curriculum.

The post celebrates human greatness, asserting that each person starts with inherent dignity and nobility, coupled with boundless genius and imagination. It urges us to nurture these qualities by learning from countless books and personal exploration, while noting that true education comes from our own choices rather than imposed curricula. By immersing ourselves in adventurous audio books—travel, hiking, or jogging narratives—we can absorb subtle analogies that expand our spirit and help us become wise, creative leaders. Ultimately, the text encourages selecting lessons guided by heart and mind, trusting that books will bestow wisdom to shape decisions, avoid regrets, and leave a lasting intellectual legacy.

#0280: Schools Are Sus!

  • education

  • videolectures
  • entrepreneurship

The post argues that traditional schooling—reli­zed on grades, standardized curricula and often a “balance” mindset—frequently leaves students under‑prepared for real life, stifling creativity and providing only superficial knowledge. It claims high school and college may be “half‑baked” systems that can steal insight into the world; without true grounding in books, one ends up confused, desperate, and easily swayed by false promises. The author stresses that a real education comes from reading many books (audio or video lectures arranged in a personal sequence) and from continuous self‑study, which equips one to start businesses, write software, become an artist, and otherwise gain practical skills. In short, lifelong learning through varied books is presented as the only reliable way to build independence and avoid the mediocrity of conventional schooling.

  • essay
  • literature
  • self-help
  • books
  • education
  • fantasy

The post argues that our mistakes stem from rejecting reality in favor of comfortable fantasies, which create a false sense of truth but lack authentic life’s effort and foresight. It stresses that knowledge comes from books (and their audio versions) and real experience, while many people fill gaps with self‑constructed views that reinforce themselves; this leads to both small everyday comforts and larger social problems. The author claims that true reality demands continual work and yields achievements such as flight, the Moon, and interstellar dreams, whereas fantasy only fabricates gods and wars. By believing in one’s own genius and taking knowledge seriously, we can overcome poverty, build companies, and create open schools—ultimately turning wisdom into generational progress.

In this reflective post, the author argues that young people are often taught falsehoods through religion, politics, and schooling, leaving them ill‑prepared to confront real life’s contradictions—bullying, war, illness—and that this “imaginary foundation” hampers their ability to fight effectively. He stresses that true learning comes from self‑education with real facts rather than propagated myths, and calls for schools and governments to be run by the people they serve so that world peace can finally materialize. The post ends with a plea to inspire future generations with facts, wisdom, and practical results, thereby ending the cycle of strangeness and making the planet “wise.”

The post argues that true learning goes beyond schools and universities: it is an ongoing thread of self‑education woven from books—especially audio and memoirs—and real experience on nature trails. The author compares humans to other animals, claiming our unique capacity for wisdom comes from this blend of reading and adventure. He praises the power of a single book to ignite insight, while noting that lectures alone cannot match the depth gained by walking in forests or mountains. Finally he invites readers to “speak out” and pursue leadership through continuous practice, believing that real grades are earned on trails, not in lecture halls, and that this path ultimately reveals who we truly are.

The author reflects on transitioning from childhood to adulthood, noting that true maturity involves gaining wisdom rather than merely aging. They argue that wisdom comes through reading and learning, yet only a fraction of books truly connect with us; when we stop engaging with literature we cease growing. The writer explains how lacking wisdom leads to self‑deception, division, and conflict across many aspects of life—from politics to personal possessions—and calls for renewed pursuit of beautiful books and adventures so humanity can unite in the quest for wisdom and peace.

#0273: Wisdom

  • philosophy
  • wisdom
  • education

  • future
  • culture

Wisdom is presented as a universal language that can bridge nations, unite people, and transform all aspects of society—from policing, politics, religion, and business to education—into agents of love, understanding, and progress; its absence leads to chaos, poverty, and war, while its presence brings unity, creativity, and the ability to solve problems. The post argues that wisdom is inherent in educated individuals and can be cultivated through honest, real learning rather than rote exams or propaganda; it calls for a new education system that values true results over grades and fosters children’s growth into “Great Beings.” By embracing wisdom as a philosophy of love, the author believes humanity can finally dismantle nuclear weapons, end poverty, restore democracy, heal cultural wounds, and close businesses that harm the planet. In short, the text claims that only by cultivating universal wisdom—through true education and collective effort—can we achieve unity and a better future for all.

  • inspiration
  • activism

The post is an impassioned call for self‑directed learning: it argues that true wisdom comes from using subtle analogies to connect new ideas with familiar ones and that students should take responsibility for their own education rather than passively cramming lessons and homework. The writer cites three influences—Richard Dawkins, Erica Goldson, and Sir Ken Robinson—to illustrate how these thinkers inspire the idea that schools can be a vehicle for knowledge but also a source of indoctrination; he notes that real learning happens when students trust themselves to seek knowledge, not just to pass tests. He further stresses the urgency of this mindset against the backdrop of global threats (missiles, wars), reminding us that we must “wiggle ourselves out” of indoctrinations in order to see and fix problems. The post ends by inviting readers to look up a video where Dawkins speaks on “the magic of reality,” reinforcing his belief that understanding comes from engaging deeply with the world rather than merely receiving facts.

The post argues that conventional schools act more like babysitters than teachers and rely too heavily on memorization, so students should transfer to better schools or pursue self‑education instead; it stresses the value of building an independent learning portfolio—starting from curiosity in science, art, programming, and hands‑on projects such as Raspberry Pi or LEGO Technic—and using that portfolio to launch careers in design or development, while encouraging reading, practical experimentation, and active communication with teachers to tailor study to personal interests.

The post concludes that this year’s early spring will be a meteorological milestone.

#0269: We Are All Beings Of Wisdom

  • wisdom
  • philosophy
  • books
  • audio-books
  • adventure
  • thought-experiment

The post opens by exploring different interpretations of “wisdom,” noting its roots in philosophy, analogy, and experiential learning from books, audio‑books, and adventure. It then presents a thought experiment illustrating how, without wisdom, humans devolve into tribalism—forming leaders, hiring violence, and ultimately committing crimes that are often the result of unmet basic needs rather than malice. The author argues that criminals are “broken children” who require homes, food, money, education, and love; prevention through such support (a “bank of love”) can reduce imprisonment. Finally, the piece stresses that true civilization will advance only when people acquire wisdom via continuous learning—books, audio‑books, and lived experience—so that the cycle of poverty, fear and violence is broken.
