Mike Domitrz argues that education must drive action, not just deliver information or entertain. A speaker who leaves the audience feeling good but without something concrete to do has failed at education and settled for entertainment instead.

The purpose of education is not knowledge, it's action. That means that when we're on a stage, it's to provoke action. We're teaching to provoke action. Otherwise, you're just entertainment. If people walk out of that room and they go, that was awesome, they were funny, they were emotional, they took me on this trip, and I go, great, what are you going to use from that? Well, it really doesn't apply to me. Well, then that was pure entertainment.
