      IMO, what's most interesting here is that assumption that being at any point in the pipeline for a "selective college" translates to "more educated." What he's actually describing is a particular milieu tiled with experiences that run largely orthogonal to intelligence/abilityhttps://twitter.com/HeatherEHeying/status/1204497701544423425 …

      The misguided elitism that conflates “educated” with “smart and capable” also tends to denigrate both physical work, and the understanding of physical and mechanical systems. pic.twitter.com/TP2Hlb70co

      Vocabulary/word choice, physical presentation, etc. play into this, but it's also about the content. An "educated" person has read Shakespeare, knows a limited set of facts about Socrates, can comment briefly on Aleppo...

      ...Notice that none of these are very useful to the typical person, whether or not they're in the educated professions. The deeper you look into this, the more you realize that "education" is quite often signaling the luxury of making oneself a not particularly useful thing.

      Meanwhile, real human ability tends to develop via tinkering with construction sets (defined super broadly). A language is a construction set. Math (real math) is a construction set. All the stuff in Home Depot is a construction set. Code, chemistry, etc. etc.

      IMO, it's probably good to do a lot of building with physical toys (if you enjoy that sort of thing), because it's easier for most people to notice failures, improvements, and (most fruitful of all) entirely unexpected behavior... when they're working with physical objects

      Unfortunately, doing a lot of physical tinkering — especially with real appliances/tools rather than highly constraining prefab kits (e.g. for robotics) is all wrong for the "educated" milieu. That's the stuff of the trades. There's no time for it. What would we do, drop Latin?

      Replying to @webdevMason

      I suspect therein resides the cause of our generalized declining rate of progress we’ve gotten stupid because we have, on the main, stopped thinking with our hands on the plus side, YouTube is totally great for learning this kind of stuff and gets better every day
