"I never let my schooling interfere with my education." -Mark Twain

[@namenotfound8747]

Mark Twain was an autodidact, 99.5% of people in this world are not anywhere near that. So unless you are the .5%, this quote doesn’t apply to you.

[@AxemanMessiah]

@@namenotfound8747 Did you know 105.8% of statistics are made up on the spot? Don't underestimate the number, there are quite a few, and most humans have an innate desire to learn on subjects they are interested in; add that with powerful tools like the internet and you have a formula for a revolution. It's politics that have prevented the takeover of merits via virtual learning, not very different on how hard they are trying to make decentralized banking seem inferior and hiding the truth of private centralized banking controlling the economy.

[@namenotfound8747]

@@AxemanMessiah Child's play. Humans are inclined to learn, but we all unequally capable of doing so. Simply put, autodidacts all display levels of genius. But not all geniuses are autodidacts. Without the fundamentals, you lose more then you would gain. Because the people that are self taught, are already doing it. Only look at human history to find them. Whenever humans have decided that they "knew" better, that they have figured out some ultimate truth, and forsaken the knowledge of the past, it has only ended in tragedy. The annihilation of paganism resulted in the destruction of the library of Alexandria, which had nearly all the known knowledge of that time in the region. Knowledge that would take over 1000 years to be rediscovered in the Islamic golden age. Or look at the cultural revolution of China, killed 20 million people trying to leave the knowledge of the past behind. WWII: blame Jews, Cambodian genocide: blame the educated. We could do this all day. Learn history, not prophecy.

[@AxemanMessiah]

@@namenotfound8747 Not sure if you got the message, I am saying virtualized learning can replace occupations that do not require licensure with the modern tools we have, so it is not "self-taught" but a school. Regarding your example, there as just as many examples countering it. It is not a prophecy, it's happening today..you are using it right now. ;)

[@namenotfound8747]

@@AxemanMessiah I do not oppose virtualizing education of any kind if done right. I do oppose when people start saying we should start gutting elements out that they don't like because of convenience. I don't care if my phone knows the answer to a math question before I do, the moment society says that we don't need to learn the fundamentals of education because we have modern tools, so lets just go straight to what we "want", we lose sight of what we "need" to keep progressing forward. That kind of flawed thinking comes from people that don't know or want to know history at a deep level, and don't respect the laws of physics. New technology doesn't automatically trump or replace the old. A computer does make it easier to communicate, but if tomorrow some jackass says since we have computers, we shouldn't worry about learning to write. What's next? Let's not learn how to read? Because we have computers that do it better then we do. licensures and accreditation is there to stop stupidity, do institutions stray from there core objective, yes. But getting lazy and saying screw math, I'm a writer, what do I care? Or any other craze and delusional notion, pick your poison.

Very important is to put what you lean to use. For example, have you bought a Cisco network switch to program one? Have you bought any DC Servo amplifiers to program the PID loop? Do you know the difference in incremental encoders line vs transitions, vs analog out and interpolation? Quiz, DC servo motor, with an incremental encoder of 500 lines per rotation, with analog out, connected to a 20X interpolation decoder. What is the resolution of the motor position per transition? Can you tune the PID loop for this motor, encoder, and the mass on the motor? Have you leaned how to change a BGA part? Do you own an oscilloscope? Do you own a function generator? Have you used them together to find the impedance of a microphone cable? Have you designed a PCB? Have you debugged your board when it didn't work as planned? Can you properly implement an RS-485 line to a data recorder? Do you know what DATAQ makes? Do you own one? Do you know the difference between a voltage amplifier and transconductance amplifier used in servos? In DC motors, do you know the relation between Speed, Power, Torque, to Voltage, Current, and power? Do you know what a coreless motor is? Can you program a VFD as a closed loop servo? You do not need a degree to learn all of the above. Showing your potential employer how you implement those skills is important. Last interview I was quizzed about DMM use. let them know I had a DSO, microwave tracking counter, and 3 DMMs, I was hired. Get some test equipment and know how to use it. Buy equipment and learn how to set it up. User manuals are fantastic. Creativity is important. Needed to test some magnets used with Hall sensors. Instead of buying an expensive magnetic field instrument, simply bought some very inexpensive analog hall sensors and used a new magnet for reference, and then graphed the relative strength of the failing sensors magnets. Ability to problem solve is important. Ended up building a coil to recharge magnets back to specification to match a new magnet used for reference. The hands on in college is probably not a class you would find listed. Can you use Audacity to help find the instability in your robotic servo for pick and place to troubleshoot the LPF?

@Peter Nguyen it all depends. Can't speak for all viewers, but if that's the case many ppl are learning indeed. I'm sure u know what a tutorial is, it turns out YT has tons of those videos, you'd have to assume most observers of tutorials on YT never apply what they learn from the video(s). I wouldn't bet on that assumption.

[@arcguardian]

@@isettech why do you ask? Does lacking that knowledge actually cut against their original statment, or are you leaping at the opportunity to say what you've learned which none of us asked you for? Is there greater context I'm missing or are you actually questioning someone as if they claimed to be in your field of work for no good reason?, seems odd.

[@arcguardian]

@Peter Nguyen no doubt about that. Research should go beyond the scope of using just one website. As long as you're not saying ppl can't learn from YT I think we are in agreement. I never said YT was better than college, but claims like "impossible" and "professional level" seem a bit extreme. What is a "professional level of practice"? You don't get that in college either unless you apply what you've learned. If ur arguing YT doesn't train doctors etc. I get that, YT isn't shipping body parts and equipment etc. for students to practice on nor does it have an expert correcting mistakes. It also depends on the field you're learning in, you can easily check for your own mistakes via a check list, especially if the YT provides that check list. I think we are in agreement, I just interpreted the comment as though you can't learn from YT and responded accordingly.

In your data structures and algorithms class, or did you learn through google and self teaching? At least for my degree, I wasn’t being taught commands, just concepts - the ability to self teach myself new languages was the practice I got doing the problem sets. Also, algorithms is fundamentally a problem solving class, I’ve never had to program my own algorithm from scratch, but I do still refer to what I learned from Algo & data structures to know what library to pull up to solve my problem at hand. I definitely don’t think a cs degree will be obsolete. All the people programming siri and alexa that this guy claims will make cs obsolete is being created by CS PhD’s. That requires more than googling how to code. Remember 20-80 rule, for every 20% of people make it, 80% of people don’t.

As a teacher, I can say that this is really so. By the time it'll take for the curriculum to be revised, then course module outlines to be adjusted, new texts to be identified to support the course content, teachers to be called to seminars to be briefed on the new development, the industry will have already made shifts. Not to mention the time period for the revised course to be assessed by the school/college's governing and accreditation bodies. These things literally take years!! (At least in my country). As a businesswoman though, I set up systems for training and empowering my staff on the specifics of their jobs and in professional and personal development. I also get specialists to train them in areas where my knowledge/understanding is limited, like how to identify industry trends, opportunities and threats, etc. Patrick, great content!

[@taoist32]

Kimber Waul What kids need these days are seminars, workshops, and short online courses. That’s all they need to get their head right and their feet wet. A degree used to be the recognized factor to represent hard work, discipline, and gained knowledge. With current work atmosphere and the continuous trends of economics and technology, kids need knowledge and experience quickly. Even those who are not in the computer or technology sector can benefit from this type of education. Psychologists, doctors, and professional services can still gain immense benefit by utilizing these types of educational formats.

[@KimberWaul]

@@taoist32 Yes, I agree. I tell my students that if you want to specialize in certain areas, like medicine, law, teaching, accounting, engineering, etc., then college is for you. Otherwise, you may do professional courses and try to start internships (especially paid ones), as soon as possible, until you can actually PAY for college (if you desire a degree that badly). I also tell them to completely immerse themselves into the experience, become lifelong learners and also work towards owning business(es) of their own. Some children, parents and school administrators think that I am strange and wrong for saying this. Many of them equate 'education' to 'schooling' and that's where the problem lies.

@@sami-9233 In my country and in most, if not all, of the countries that I know, teachers who intend to teach within the mainstream school system need a degree. If one intends to open a school in my country and most of those that I know, s/he would need some kind of degree and/or license to start a school. Also, in my country and in others, one needs to be licensed and certified to become an accountant. That's why I advise my students the way in which I do.

Sorry, but those of us who have higher education always think in those terms. When you have a Master's degree, you look at society as educated vs. uneducated. The bias is real, but it's not unfounded. I have much more in common with people who have formal education. No degree = no pedigree.

[@JessG_20]

@@infinity2012rmx 🤔 So in other words you seem to agree that everything is moving faster now. People are expected to really know their field inside & out and to learn quickly + adapt fast, hence why the 4+ years people spend at college universities is becoming a pointless waste of time. Society will eventually do away with that style of learning. Probably sooner rather than later. The point you made about needing all of this PLUS a college degree as a "side project" doesn't make sense. "Here kid, learn everything you need to know to get qualified for the job via online learning & similar resources but also...spend four or more years of additional wasted time learning what you already know or what you could learn in half the time and at almost no cost". Right. No. People (yes even highly educated people) realize it's becoming redundant and you haven't quite caught up to this realization is all.

Also, why not ask what it is I do or what it is I want before assuming it's wrong for me to think college isn't necessary for all of us.

You dont go to school to memorize facts. You go there to train your brain, prove that you can learn and are able to focus, organize your thoughts and express them coherently and clearly. To prove you can handle a project assignement. But memorizing things is also important because then you can work alot more efficiently. Your thought process is only based on knowledge not what you can find from Siri. Academical degrees are there for a very big reason.

[@bobbyjeangayheart360]

You are wonderful!

[@markbenassi9896]

Unfortunately, the university (generally speaking) has lost sight of this and has focused on the vocational side of education because that is where the money is. There is tremendous value in learning history, philosophy, languages and all the other elements of what used to be considered a liberal education. That sort of education has great value but it also does not demand a massive campus and $50,000 a year tuition, huge endowments and masses of administrators - Plato and Aristotle worked by themselves. Today's academics need to start focusing on the fundamentals that you reference and stop selling their degrees on the basis of how good a job you're going to get. Unfortunately, that would also mean cutting the price.

[@MilosMilosavljevic1]

I disagree. Training your brain, proving that you can learn and are able to focus, organizing your thoughts and expressing them coherently and clearly as well as training your memory should be done much earlier, at ages 10-18. By the age of 18 or 19, it is probably already too late to teach these. Academical degrees as we know them today, were simple constructs of third industrial revolution. And they worked fairly well for nearly two centuries. Today however, they are completely obsolete. Now, obviously, for certain professions you need proof of ability before being allowed to partake in, such an example is medical profession. However, if you carefully think about it, achieving this does not necessarily mandate the existence of an academical degree as an institution, does it? We still use them, as they are an adequate and proven 19th and 20th century model. 21st century already has and certainly will continue to yield new methods of learning, new methods of measuring one's knowledge and abilities. Some of the technologies that come to mind that will disrupt higher education (and may I add much sooner then everybody is thinking) are AR with haptic feedback + AI teachers and teaching assistants.
