Education vs Learning

Education vs Learning

You cannot get educated by this self-propagating system in which people study to pass exams, and teach others to pass exams, but nobody knows anything.

You learn something by doing it yourself, by asking questions, by thinking, and by experimenting.

(Tom: This matches my experiences in life. I have done a lot of formal courses but always with the purpose of, “How do I apply this data” rather than “How do I remember it so I can pass an exam.”

And I have done a lot of self-directed learning with the purpose of learning, sharing and applying the data.)

The Fourth Turning

The Fourth Turning

The Fourth Turning First comes a High, a period of confident expansion. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisis—the Fourth Turning—when society passes through a great and perilous gate in history (The Fourth Turning)

Eight useful tools for discerning truth in the age of information warfare

Red or Blue Pill

Experts often don’t agree, we’re drowning in information, and censorship is a very real thing – here’s how to not get lost and confused navigating information.

I wanted to present a quick collection of ideas, thoughts, and reflections that can act as tools for navigating the information landscape. It can be confusing out there, hopefully these tools make things easier.

I want to point out that we have the potential to live in a world where we would not have to have this level of discernment. It would be possible if we were less blinded by political ideologies, emotions, social media algorithms and censorship. But given this is the landscape we find ourselves in today, knowing how to weather the storm is essential.
