Let take a look at the macro level of today dilemma faced by young men. Bank would allocate equal fund to two group of people, one being the smart one (the “A student”), one being the dumb one (the “C student”), “A student” would often time go to study higher education, while “C student” would often go to start a business or simply settle down and get married. Fast forward to ten years later, what we are going to see is most often time the “A student” despite having very knowledgable, but they also cope up with huge pile of student loans, with that amount of student loan burdening their life, they can’t make use of their knowledge and build something useful, but forced to work for the corporate jobs that often time has nothing to do with the knowledge they have. Waste of their youthful energy and work on office jobs indulge themselves with office politics, tie a noose around their neck, do mind numbing paperwork, attend endless meeting, reporting to bosses, that’s how you destroy a “A student” who could be productive and produce exceptional breakthroughs, but push to work for something else; while I’m not gonna cover the “C student”, they’re often time ended up in divorces or became crack head doing drugs or living a tug life, (also there is “B student” who mainly excel in politics and manipulation, who love living a parasitic life.)

The whole point is “A student” are getting knowledges but at a high cost that would often dictate their life dream of building a utopian nations, but education don’t come cheap, it’s expensive to sustain a highly civilised and knowledge based society, (which civilisation didn’t collapse in the entire human history?). What I think can fix the world problems is lowering the cost of educations, we should help the young boy who would pursuit to be “A student” in education, by providing them competitive educations at a price that would not burn their wallet, I think free educations to be idealistic, 200k in education for a young boy to go from college to university graduate to be reduced to 2k that would make a world of different, it’s all but theory, it’s easy to just say but how can we provide education at such a low cost?? Wikipedia might be trying to provide competitive education for “A student” at a very low cost, but we all know what’s happening to Wikipedia now, the entire knowledge based website become a place of misinformation, deceptions, politics, fake news, that’s not going to nurture “A student”, I think Wikipedia would likely nurture more “B student”. So how to reduce the cost of education for “A student” again? May be using YouTube to provide free education? Create computer for self learning? Create softwares? Create internet based education forum? They are all idealistic in theory but in real world we often see all of them end up in the wrong hand and get abused. Good luck trying to provide low cost educations and also trying to nurture more “A student”, all civilisation would eventually come to an end, it’s the nature of a life cycle, every civilisation would collapse in 200 years and erase all “A student” from the face of the earth, no one can change that.

I had see a lot of professors PhD who should be tasked to building world changing “life support unit” the livingry artefact to solve world all human being economic and social needs.  But they’re all being forced to do something else, include working for mind numbing office job, mind numbing food delivery jobs, mind numbing office politics, we all destined to destroy the “A student” that can move the world forward, nobody can challenge the law of nature, nature always beat nurture.

And you want to suggest self-education? Really? Under such climate?
