Of course you wouldn't run the system off VHS tapes 30 years ago but it is just absurd to me we have no change in the system when I can literally find all the lectures, the textbook and notes for basically any class in the next 5 minutes.
Not only any class but I can probably find multiple different professors teaching the class and take my pick of who I like the best.
To me, it can only be explained by our cultural obsession with education as credentials and the total disregard that classes have actual valuable information. We have had an absolute revolution in education that we are not taking any advantage of. Instead the classes mostly rot on youtube and the education racket collects rents no differently than in 1980 other than charging way more.
I think we need more people to not have absolutest/religious type positions on diet and just eat less meat.
I view meat now like I view chocolate. I am not self banned from eating chocolate but I certainly do not need to eat chocolate every day. I am basically sometimes vegetarian, sometimes vegan until I want to have "cheat meals" and sometimes enjoy meat like I sometimes enjoy chocolate.
In one of Alan Greenspan's books he says something along the lines that life is the pursuit of self-esteem and self-esteem needs constant nurturing.
I think that is pretty accurate. Past accomplishments only nurture self-esteem for so long. I wouldn't doubt Johnny Depp is completely miserable. There is just not much he can do tomorrow with how high the bar was set in his past. At least the average person can still dream the best is yet to come.
I am sure being a child prodigy is tough in the same sense.
