Well as a 12 year old I think they are lacking, Well the reason for that is because tradonitional schools just like hire whoever they see and it's pretty much it very easy to be a teacher school in traditional schools. You just need to go to a easy college or university and learn. But in Elon's school there are teachers who are more talented than traditional school teachers and traditional schools lack being clean and stuff.

You can't critically think without very strong foundations in basics of a discipline. It is not cognitively possible.

The cool thing about *First principles* and *Critical Thinking* is that these skills are not limited to Engineering and "space science".

They provided the specifics and the equations, but we built out a little model that had a tub of precaculated water/volume, tupperware with steel shot as weight, which would displace given water as a result and referenced/checked by hashmarks or a ruler on side of the tub to validate the equation was working.

One aspect of this, to answer your question pragmatically, is non-contradiction: an identical act cannot be good one time, and bad another. This simple observation, as Bastiat wrote, means that people in government cannot morally -and should not be able to legally- do things that people outside of government cannot morally or legally do.

I had no idea about his school or even that there was a thing called first principals, but I get it and have tried to drill the same concept in the heads of all the kids I'm around including my own. My grandfather taught me to never stop asking questions but he passed away before I was old enough to really learn anything about all the stuff he fixed or built. Even though he passed early he gave me the ability to know how to figure stuff out on my own and to break down complex systems to their basic individual functions. There's nothing I can't fix and most puzzles that would leave people stumped for days are a simple task for me.

Not trying to make this political, but it's relevant. I think both sides are willfully ignorant about many things... HOWEVER, the one that probably drives me the most crazy is how the left hates Elon Musk. Not even counting the fact he's one of the few people on this planet that wants to and is ACTIVELY TRYING to save the entire human race, he's also just an incredibly likable person. I was on this dating app called OkCupid, which matches you based on how you've answered a wide variety of questions. One of those questions was "Is Elon Musk crazy smart, or just crazy?". At least over 50% of peoples answers was "just crazy". So out of pure curiousity, I messaged every single person I found who answered "just crazy" and asked them in the most safe/non-judgemental way I could, why they thought he was just crazy. After not a single answer, I even changed my question to sound like I agreed with them but that I was just curious for their reason for thinking he's crazy. Still, not one answer. What the hell. The obvious answer now is "He supports nazis!" or something, due to his changes to Twitter.. But I was asking these questions before he made the purchase. Either way.... Imagine hating someone for such a childish reason, when they're literally trying to safe the human race lol.

[@thelonewrangler1008]

@whatNtarnation90 I've also been cruising the online dating apps semi-recently as a guy who grew up getting dates by talking to women in public without getting some kind of extreme feminist lecture. The dating scene went full potato after Trump got elected, and they started hypnotizing women and kids through social media. I've figured out the easiest way to sort through the far leftist virtue signalers without sparking some absurd political debate I have no interest in having is to ask one simple question. "What do you think of Elon Musk". The answer to that question will tell you everything you need to know in regards to how hypnotized they really are by all the online propaganda

I don't think kids at this age have even grasped what the word "principle" means.

This plan will NEVER work, it's like expecting everyone else to be like Elon Musk. I don't like when Elon assumes that "A says something is impossible, therefore B must also say it's impossible" is a faulty basis for problem solving. Our reality has proven that it is impossible to have everyone move like Elon Musk, therefore no one else can say that it's possible, because it just is, quite frankly, IMPOSSIBLE. There's no workaround to that.

As someone who can credit a massive portion of what I can do now to the extracurricular activities I did in middle and high school - namely robot design competitions - I can attest that getting the kids to develop their brain as much as possible with useful skills as young as possible is extremely important. You learn much more slowly as you get older, so the more you can get right at a young age, the better. It's the same with computer programmers. The best ones are the ones who started when they were 10.

[@philj9594]

This was very amusing to read as someone who is at the top of their cohort in a computer science program at the age of 36 and I've only been learning for two years. I run circles around kids and have a way easier time grasping programming topics and do so at an exponentially faster rate than most of these above average IQ 20-sometings (thank you genetics). To be fair, there is a kernel of truth to your sentiment, but that idea is a bit outdated and rooted in tons of faulty neuroscience that you see mostly from pop psych articles. It's true that older people tend to be more rigid in their thinking, but it is far from being the barrier that you seem to think it is. I outperform almost every single young person I meet, and a large part of that is due to the wisdom I've gained from age. Hell, even if you look at this from an IQ perspective, very little performance is lost until you are in your 60s or older. New data is showing more and more that the decline is negligible for the majority of our lives provided you take care of yourself. The real issue is rigid thinking, and hilariously, your comment is a perfect example of that. The true roadblock. I guess I'd expect nothing less from someone seeking out Elon Musk videos on youtube with a cringe doge pfp. Yikes. Stay mediocre kids. I'm going to change the fucking world. Look up the CAIT intelligence test. I scored a 153 and smoked all the kids on the r/cognitivetesting subreddit at the things people associate with youth (speed and working memory).

Here’s a First Principle: Don’t lie about “FSD”. Tesla FSD is still running lights and randomly breaking in moving traffic. Seriously.. Musk always brings up “first principals” when he wants to impress investors.. it’s the only engineering concept he ever mentions or seems to know.. and it would seem most Space X employees agree, otherwise there’d be a lot more students in that school

He's raising more Elon-esque type of personalities, so that one day, space tech is a common sense, that anyone has. I think we ought to think like Elon if we are ready to accept a future of abundance. Star Trek "matter replicators", day one.

[@user-sn8oe5sb1b]

"Thinking like " is never a good idea, and doesn't really lead to new things and to improvement. What Elon proposes in terms of education, which is not new either, is precisely the opposite. Don't think like others. Don't say "can't be done" because somebody else said so. So, definitely don't think like Elon. Learn and listen to him as you learn from and listen to others, then think for yourself. Generally, elon-esque personalities don't play well with others that are alike. That's why, if you look at some of Elon's closest colaborators, like Gwynne, they're quite different from him. A team works when you have different people with different opinions, not when you have clones.

LABELS I personally would be careful about labels though. Terms like: 1. divergents, separatists, rebels, drop-outs 2. critics, opposition, "the resistance" 3. smart prefixes "un" or "under" (as in undergrad), "non" (as in non-believers or non-compliance), "off" (as in off-grid, offline as if to suggest that being offline is a crime.) and other similar words are part of a bigger propaganda/agenda. It feels as if there is a dedicated team of word-makers whose entire job is to induce panic using Smart-Repulsive Labels as a tactic. In my animations, I try to use friendlier terms in my narration.

This is great! Makes me have a different perspective on him as a person. I hope we can see the school system change to teach history just as it happened and sciemce and math in entertaining ways, where kids can follow what they are passionate about in that moment. The teachers jobs would be to answer questions in advanced detail and teach to each childs goal. If we want a society full of specialized jobs and people, we shouldnts try to standardize "common core" everything. I also think critically thinking and logical reasoning should be taught repeatedly as the frontal cortex is forming. The future i want is one where we start caring more about the bottom of society and trying to raise the floor and rebuild a strong and healthy middle class by reducing wealth inequality. Is it moral to have multiple billions of dollars especially invested in appreciating assets? (I do think elon in trying to fight the good fight.
