If this was true why do people send kids to school? They can drop them off at the library and let them transform themselves by themselves. Any half baked library has enough info to keep you occupied on any subject you want for your entire life. But rarely does it lead to transformation which is why we end up with schools.
People confuse information access with learning. Effective learning, esp for the 6 inch chimp brain wondering around in a dark jungle, always requires a teacher. Someone who is constantly providing feedback to keep the chimp on track, pointing out how to correct blundering, which paths are dead ends, which paths are worth exploring etc etc etc.
Where things start breaking down is the availability of high quality teachers, guides, mentors, coaches etc
- wolverine876 6y agoI agree completely about the value of education. I am not one of those who think everyone can be an autodidact and nobody needs to go to college. However, people also learn things on their own, to a great degree. Most people reading this haven't been in school for a long time.
