Jim Kwik argues that schools still teach like it's the industrial era, focusing on subjects instead of how to learn. In today's world, creativity can't be outsourced, so education should teach learning itself, creativity, and turning vision into reality.
We all grew up with a 20th century education that prepared us for a 20th century world, which at the turn of the century was working in factories and farms and assembly line. And our education system was mirrored to that. It was assembly line, one size fits all, teaching us things about what to learn— math, history, science, Spanish— but all things we could find online nowadays, right? So what do you need to be able to regurgitate that information for? But it was about what to learn, but not how to learn. Our value in this world is really our creativity. Because that's not something that's easily outsourced, our ability to create value, be creators, take our vision and turn them into reality, take the invisible and make it visible. Where are the classes on that, on how to be able to live the best version of yourself? That's why I love this because they don't have 4 walls. How many people are watching this from how many different countries right now? You never know who's listening on the other side and that motivates, inspires the heck out of me.
