The reason students love Lambda School is that it shows them that they can learn to *do* things that they couldn't do before, that most people can't, and which employers pay a lot of money for. Sounds obvious, but most young people, inc. college grads, have zero skills like this
It's never been easier to be an autodidact, but first you have to reacquaint yourself with the mastery process and the ability to notice interest/curiosity — two things that come naturally to children, but which get snuffed out by helicoptering, over-scheduling & discrete tasks
I increasingly believe curiosity is a skill to be mastered and not some innate trait because of the reasons you cited. It’s something anyone can get better at with intentional effort over time. Learning for learning sake is shockingly rare. SF has high density of such people.
While curiosity is not innate, & anyone can get better with effort, the early years are the optimal time to internalize curiosity. A child that regularly experiences joy as the reward of effort, & boredom as the result of passivity, is more likely to become naturally curious.
The most difficult part of the mastery process for people taught in the modern educational system is being able to recognize that being wrong and being objectively bad at a given skill is not an ethical failing but part of the process of learning. Being wrong today equals death
This is a very funny question if you really think about it
I was just going to ask if things like YouTube videos and IG tutorials factor into this analysis for you at all. Do they? I’ve learned some surprisingly detailed stuff in this way.
LOVE you
I don’t think the absence of the childhood negative alone leads to autodidactic adults. The snuffing out occurs in a vacuum created by the lack of a positive pedagogy to help children transform their curiosity into capacities for concentration, self-regulation, confidence, etc.
