The job of teaching people how to think is now done by twitter and YouTube. The gap is now teaching people how to *pick* what to learn and from whom. Right now that’s done by edgelords for young people and algorithms for old people. Also, class sizes. 1: 1 million is not good.https://twitter.com/phildaian/status/1083376176889057282 …

People that think @LambdaSchool is a good replacement for higher education fundamentally misunderstand education. We need a lot more than vocational training to power the future. It's a great initiative, but the purpose of school is to teach you to think, not train you for work.
