That's not what he is arguing, though, is it?
- jmalicki 1mo agoIs founding a company not a thing some humans experience?
- watwut 1mo agoHe argues for lowering experience of everyone except founders, so that founders dont have more free time and dont have to learn what university teaches. It is favoring 1 group, not wide areas of the human experience.
- jmalicki 1mo agoIt doesn't sound like he's arguing for something different than a lot of movements in education like Waldorf schools, the Nueva School, progressive liberal arts colleges, or how a lot of graduate schools work. That school should be a support structure for self directed exploration rather than rigidity. How is encouraging that unique to startup founders?
- bmitc 1mo agoYou mentioned, emphasis mine: > benefit wide areas of the human experience So no, I don't think founding companies has much to do with the wide human experience. It's actually a pretty rare thing. And I argue that most startup founders are not concerned with the human experience and are just focused on what the exit looks like.
- jmalicki 1mo agoSo a university should never teach a class unless at least 95% of its students would benefit from it? Yes, the one thing doesn't necessarily benefit everyone, but a university offers wide choices of interests.
