The author laments the “fake education” system and urges readers to pursue their own learning path through narrated books and online tutorials, believing that true knowledge…
The post urges students to claim ownership of their learning, confront weak instruction, acquire hands‑on skills (music, 3D printing, coding), launch small businesses, and form…
The post argues that schools should focus on applied mathematics—such as generative art and programming—to lift students out of poverty, rather than abstract math alone; it…
The post proposes a new “Integrated Education” model in which learning is self‑paced, achievement‑based and directly tied to real projects such as programming, generative art,…
The post describes how the “boxes” of daily life—alarms, grades, careers, retirement, and other routine categories—encapsulate a repetitive cycle that can drain mental health and…
I challenged myself to learn Blender for millimeter‑scale 3D printing, initially thinking it would be hard enough to build my own program. After two days of trial and error I…
The author proposes adding three new school classes—Love, Poverty & Money, and Fake Education—to revamp education by focusing on healthy relationships, economics, and…
The tutorial guides teens through building 3‑D printable models with free software such as FreeCAD, Inkscape and PrusaSlicer, turning SVG shapes into extruded bodies that can be…
This post celebrates the innate genius of every individual and frames education as a lifelong, self‑paced quest for wisdom rather than mere memorization or grade‑centric success.…
The post argues that lifelong learning should begin early, be pursued at one’s own pace, and be driven by curiosity rather than just career goals; it stresses that each person is…
The author laments that conventional grading and lecture‑based instruction stifle students’ creativity, urging teachers to become active facilitators of self‑education rather…
The author argues that self‑taught learning—especially in fields such as astrophysics or medicine—produces deeper understanding than rote test preparation, because universities…
The post argues that a variety of social problems—poverty, nuclear weapons, mass incarceration, police brutality, war—are “errors” we must correct in the next generation and that…
The post argues that traditional schooling relies on grades and memorization rather than real learning, causing students to pretend they’re learning for the sake of numbers. It…
The author recounts the joy of hearing cicadas in New York and then details their latest project: a compact Raspberry‑Pi MP3 player that can adjust playback speed for workout…
I began my technical journey by tinkering with audio files in 1996, which led me to explore early DOS graphics programs like Image72 and the first Visual Basic releases,…
The post argues that studying history and politics is essential for understanding humanity’s present and shaping its future; it reminds readers that past mistakes repeat…
The post argues that the world is not ending but simply out of sync, and this misalignment stems largely from how we structure education: institutions charge for knowledge,…
The author reflects on how an early idea to build an MP3 player with a Raspberry Pi sparked a lifelong passion for electronics and programming, showing that small, personally…
The post presents an eclectic reflection on humanity’s future, weaving together ideas from combinatorial genomics, the “Protocols” (a set of global guidelines), and personal…
The post likens a nation’s laws to source code, arguing that by rewriting this “program” we can end poverty, mass incarceration, unfairness and poor education. It stresses that…
The post celebrates how true genius emerges from continuous, self‑driven exploration rather than forced training: by following one’s curiosities across subjects and building on…
The post argues that modern schooling relies too heavily on memorization and standardization, treating learning as a commodity rather than a genuine pursuit of knowledge; it…
