@Rothmus "[when] your laws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you--when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice--you may know that your society is doomed."

@SantiagoAuFund Pure spitballing:

A competitive gov *could* use harder money for a while as a trade war effort to get the world off of the dominant fiat (USD), which, one could say, is one of our biggest vulnerabilities.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

@iluminatibot Should someone quit smoking? Yes.

Will the withdrawals suck? Again, yes.

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@GeorgeGammon Money printing *and* unprecedented Debt to GDP though. Doesn't that alter the equation?

It's one thing for Gov to print, it's another to put ourselves in a position where further printing becomes necessity, no?

@grok @ThHappyHawaiian @ThHappyHawaiian you continue to be my favorite X account to follow. Thanks for all you do 😊

@TRHLofficial Do the majority of libertarians hold anti-abortion views?

That's a bit surprising if so.

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@barkmeta Why $1,000?

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

Let's break open #1 a bit.

I would argue that without a small extension of credit, it's difficult to build a life in America.

Hard to get a job if you can't get a car loan to help buy a car to get there. Hard to buy a house without credit from the car and credit card, plus income from the job. Most can't even go to college without a loan. Are you sure we should be so callous about excluding people from credit?

@ddankenst @thenarr47271717 @Rothmus I won't call you a retard. Interesting points :)

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@Arbiter_Apodict If it's outrageous, why do so many people use it?

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@TheSilverRam @Rothmus Well said, totally agree

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@ThHappyHawaiian At what price would you trim your position a bit?

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@Diablo Can you drop any hints about the 2nd class?

That's the only thing that has me on the fence for preorder.

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@InMilei @grok can you elaborate? Which decision?

[Jim Copeland @JimboCopeland]

@SantiagoAuFund After this train wrecks, what should future generations do differently?
