Bullshit.
The web is full of crap. To really learn you need to learn how to learn. Education still matters. Otherwise you’re just a gpt4 prompt monkey.
I’ve found many times in my life where the internet doesn’t know anything about what I’m trying to figure out. Your “just google
It” recommendation is destructive.
- notpushkin 4y agoYou are a GPT-4 prompt monkey. Your experience is your prompt data. The more diverse it is, the better off you are. Now, college / uni plays an important role here. It helps you learn how to learn stuff. If you're already good at learning things (and I mean really, really good), you can skip it. Otherwise, you should at least give it a try. Of course, try to get into a good one.
- RadiozRadioz 4y agoCollege teaches you how to memorize stuff and regurgitate it in exams. For practical / understanding-based coursework, it may teach you how to learn stuff, but for the smart students it instead teaches them how to craft an answer to fit a mark scheme. Are those useful skills? Probably. Do you need to spend tens of thousands for to learn them? Probably not.
- iopq 4y agoCollege doesn't teach you how to learn. There's no course on memory or forgetting curves that is mandatory. Nobody taught me flashcard software. I only got a bit about skimming and note taking from my high school teachers
- RadiozRadioz 4y agoThen buy a book or read a paper. It is staggering how many college courses just go through textbooks. I find people with this perspective are often bad at googling and/or aren't reading books/papers.
