Brokenness = potential energy. Anything badly broken is a dam holding back a lake of unrealized desires. A startup that can bore a hole through such a dam can liberate all that energy.

The source of the brokenness of US higher education is a mixture of social custom, institutional rigidity, and government policy that would be extremely hard to unravel. But Lambda School just bored a hole through the dam.

Lambda School may not be a complete solution to the brokenness of US higher education, but it's an immediate one. And the hole in the dam is still small, but it's growing at startup rates.

What other problems can be solved by boring a hole through the dam? Could you fix healthcare? On the face of it, it seems unlikely. But I didn't think higher education could be fixed either before I saw Lambda School.

(I know I'll get hell from trolls for suggesting a startup might fix healthcare. "Tech bro thinks startups can fix all the world's problems." But if I can set off a spark in the brains of a handful of people who might drill through such dams, I'll take that deal.)

Lambda school seems like it could only work for a few majors, not sure how it could ever work for teachers, social workers and lesser paid but needed majors. Or majors like engineering that require equipment
-
Or PhD-level education that requires field work and dissertation defenses, and such.
