#NetworkSchool & Balaji @balajis.eth One-on-One Time: Talking Education & Time Management 💚 This week’s office hour was a 1:1 walk-and-talk with Balaji. It felt more relaxed since we were walking as we chatted. On #Education 🎓: **Q**: What's your view on traditional education? I’ve been thinking about applying for a PhD, but Network School feels so much more dynamic. How do you see the future of education? 🧑‍🎓 **A**: The internet has totally changed the world, but it’s still undervalued. Like, how much do you remember from traditional university? Not much... So you spent a lot of time on it, got a degree, but the world moves so fast, and education hasn’t kept up, right? We need to match the speed of the network, that’s why Network School exists.

You can see tutorials updated in real time, with people hosting events super quickly. Real-time education and learning opportunities are key. We’re also issuing blockchain credentials, and they stay on-chain forever. Basically, we’re building what Vitalik called ‘modular’ education. I got my PhD at Stanford, taught there, then left, and everyone was shocked. They were like, ‘OMG, you’re leaving academia?!’ But Bryan @bryan_johnson is doing something similar now—he’s publishing all his data online, skipping the traditional academic process. Peer review? It’s just two people giving thumbs up to your paper, like a private social network. It doesn’t mean independent validation; it just means a few professors liked your work. The reputation of traditional academia is plummeting in the U.S., and I don’t think it’s going to last much longer—it needs disruption.
