Philosophy

I’m reading about how Plato’s Academy remained open for almost a thousand years (!) after he died and I do wonder how a modern academy would look like. 

Like, would it necessarily have to be online? What would be the topics being taught? How would it be moderated? 

Wdyt?

Exploring what’s next. Previously built Verso and led growth at Dune Analytics. I like the ocean and summer mornings

It will have an online component and be led by the individual, so whatever the student wants to learn.

But that’s pretty much the internet right? What would be the difference?

It’s a huge difference imo
- it’s a change in the theory of learning so learning becomes more efficient 
- it allows for infinite ambition versus finite ambition 
- infinite ambition is positive sum and not draining
- the system will adapt to the individual versus the individual to the system

Yes I agree, I just wonder if there should be some basic building blocs, something slightly more structured or not. Thanks for responding!

Yes, the optimal is one foot in the unknown and one foot in the known. Striking the balance is how courses will look like in the future.
