Me too. Same for pretty much any "scientist" on NPR, or with a popular book. Not EVERY one is a hack or a fraud, but enough are that as a group, they're not trustworthy. That's a big chunk of my adult life I need to forg

I live in Oakland. We're in the midst of a big crime wave. Oakland PD, the DA, and the Mayor, are all in varying degrees of denial. It's so bad that the Governor of California (eyeing his future Presidential bid) has stepped in, a

Not sure about "solely," but what you describe is actually a mainstream concept in many cultures. The US and other individualistic Western countries are probably the exception.

You mean - on Coursera? There was a Python course offered by three profs at Rice University that was A+. Similar for Dan Ariely's Behavioral Economics class - of course, maybe it was all lies (now it turns out), but entertaining nevert

As a related aside, "competency-based education" is a thing, slightly more popular in Europe than in the US. I don't want to destroy all universities (like Trump or DeSantis do). But it IS true that the higher-education syste

If the student only watches the content, and doesn't have the chance to be (1) tested on it, and (2) apply it over time, the learning is quickly lost. That's my personal experience, and that's also the theory nowadays. I mean
