People say college is unnecessary bc “the internet”— while we can’t even read the linked article without paying. Our system is really good at identifying value and then making people pay for it. Still need public investment in education for students of all abilities and means.
"People say college is unnecessary bc “the internet”— while we can’t even read the linked article without paying." I don't get the connection. What does college/the internet have to do with providing a service and getting paid for it?
Here is a link which doesn’t require paid access: https://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2020/08/24/luminar-technologies-to-go-public-in-24b-merger.html … I think the program results are misleading and do not do justice to benefits of formal education.
What's misleading?
As if there isn't tons of free educational content on the internet...
Yes, absolutely. But a lot of the best analysis of complex topics is behind a paywall ($). Academic journals and subscriber publications also charge.
More goodness? Hmmm I’m in business and I get the drive , achievement & money > Important & needed for a healthy economy but that is only one piece Our society is fucked up now and we have more $B than ever so that is not a complete answer, narratives need scrutiny!
The linked article is an example of what happens when accessing content from the Economist, Foreign Policy, WSJ, academic journals, subscriber content from people’s Patreons, etc. The internet is a treasure trove of information, much of it free. But it’s not free to produce...
...Since the internet works like the rest of the world—often driven by market forces—I worry that accessing quality content could become prohibitively expensive one day for people looking to self-educate. For now, it’s much cheaper than a college degree. I hope it stays that way.
