It Was Strange For Me To Do Something Of Social Value

The utterance in the title can be heard at about the 5:05 mark.

So what is the video about? The end of college and probably all of education as we know it. The montage in the beginning is especially interesting.

So are teachers really worth what we pay them? Some are worth way more. The rest are worth nothing. Bucky Fuller predicted this over 50 years ago in Education Automation.

    I think on-line ed is the wave of the future. However, I don’t really “get” what people see in the Khan Academy. I’ve watched several of the math videos, and they seem pretty mediocre (at best) to me.

    Mediocre is a step up from unavailable.

    Yes, but there was better stuff out there before the Khan academy came along. I think.
