A BUNCH OF COCKROACHES or SHEEP?
I strongly wish to bring the below to the notice of @NarendraModi ,@NandanNilekani , #cockroachJanataParty and the #StudentsOfIndia
Nothing is perfect and every decision will have its pros and cons ..Am hoping that my below observations will atleast start a fierce debate
While the biggest CEOs on the planet are shouting hoarse that most entry level jobs will soon vanish, here we are busy celebrating NEET protests not realising that we are trying to heal a system which is already on the ventilator taking itโs last breath
A I has rewritten the rules of learning and the need of the hour is to replace Institutional education with Customised education
Not a board , but a student should decide the length of his professional course 4 yr , 3 yr whatever , whether b tech , medicine or any , as per his/her own personal intelligence and working capacity.
Some minds absorb in six months what others cannot even in four years o. Then why force both into the same prison of a fixed course?
An examination should happen the day the student declares readiness, not when the calendar of the university decides.
If a student wishes to specialise in steel structures, the system should facilitate the A I to mathematically and scientifically process the knowledge genuinely required for that field and not force the student through unrelated academic baggage , only to blindly follow a decades ago designed syllabus
Students should be allowed to take any A I tools they want into their exam halls and they should be only tested for how fast and how creatively they can use A I
Here could be the revolutionary advantages
1. A massive reduction in both time and cost of education. Parents stop bleeding money and Students stop wasting the best years of their lives.
2. An exponential jump in the quality of learning because every student now has a personal AI tutor that never sleeps, never gets tired, and adapts to any speed he wants
3. Unlimited choice ,not just of subjects, but of teachers, of methods, of pace, of depth.
4. For the first time the system aids the student instead of the student being crushed to fit the system.
5. A poor youngster in a small town can have the same opportunity as a rich student attending a expensive private college .
We donโt need reform.
We need a revolution because we are standing at a threshold where A I can finally liberate education from the slave model of the past that treated every student as an identical product in an assembly line , or in other words as a BUNCH OF SHEEP
EDUCATION SHOULD BE KILLED
Memorise. Write . Pass. Get degree. Get job. This was the formula paper thrust upon us , but now it is high time to tear it up
A medical student burns five years of his time doing MBBS, two years post graduation, then two or three more for specialisation , totalling 10 years to learn what the A I in his pocket already knows .
The doctor conducts tests , sees data and makes diagnosis from his accumulated knowledge to suggest treatment
Now A I is doing all that with far more precision and unimaginably faster without fatigue or preoccupation
Geoffrey Hinton, the man who built the foundations of modern AI , is shouting from roof tops that A I will do everything far better
All experts agree that A I will keep take over what doctors are currently doing in the next 1 or 2 years
So why exactly are students still preparing for NEET or joining medical courses?
When diagnosis is algorithmic and surgery is robotic, the human doctor slowly starts becoming a middleman for which he doesnโt need to do a course for 10 years
Teachers still say โItโs in the syllabus.โ
Parents still say โEveryone else is doing it.โ
The youngster who dares to ask โWhy am I memorising what my phone already knows ?โ is treated like a radical instead of the only sane person
This is not about demeaning parents or teachers.They either do not know or living in denial
When the conventional education system is already in the mortuary why are we refusing to bury it?
Everyone needs to buckle up and kill the education system in its present form , before young peoples futures are killed by the elderly ignorants
The only hope is to steer them super fast towards A I and throw everything else into the dust bin

Virat was totally surprised by Rohit's flawless Hindi & burst out laughing, saying, "Puri shuddh Hindi bol raha hai yeh phli baar mere saath". ๐คฃ๐ญ
NEET is not the issue
A I is
NEET leaks, cancelled exams, student suicides might leave bodies on the floor and parents screaming which might seem brutal in the way the system is being injured
AI does not wound the system.
It rips its throat out.
For centuries education had one job of forcing scarce knowledge down young throats like medicine and train them for predictable lives. But unlike in the past , Information is no longer scarce. It is a choking flood of lies, propaganda, and digital sewage. And AI stands in that flood with its mouth open, swallowing everything, chewing it, and spitting out clean answers faster than any human brain can even comprehend
Nobody knows what to teach a child to prepare for how the world will be in the next 10 or 20 years
Fixed knowledge is already decaying .
Technical skills are already twitching in their death throes.
The outdated belief
study hard once,
then live safely forever
has been dragged into the street by A I and shot dead .
What still has value in it is not marks.
Not degrees.
Not the ability to spew out facts
The only savage skill needed is to stay conscious while the world keeps rewriting itself, of reinventing yourself before the old version of you is buried by transformational technologies like A I
The classrooms, the sacred syllabi, the entrance exams we still treat like temples not realising that all of it is furniture inside a house that is already on fire. We are arguing about the arrangement of the chairs while the flames are climbing the walls. We need to wake up and smell the smoke
Except for EDUCATING how to use AI, every other form of education is now REDUNDANT.
The youth currently grinding through engineering, medicine, law, CA, MBA, architecture, design or any professional course are walking into a slaughterhouse. By the time they finish, most of those degrees will be mere paper. The jobs those courses were built for will already have been absorbed, compressed, or being erased by A I systems that never sleep, never demand salary, never take leave, and never make the same mistake twice.
A time has come when a single person can become a doctor + lawyer + engineer + chartered accountant + anything else all rolled into one. A same single human mind can diagnose, draft contracts, design systems, audit accounts, write code, and analyse everything more accurately than entire teams of traditionally trained professionals.
What does that leave the student who spent four, five, six years mastering only one of those domains the old way? It leaves them competing against someone who can do all of it .. better, cheaper, and at scale while they are still fighting for corrections in NEET
Every tech head in the world already proclaimed the death of all entry level jobs ..So whatโs the point ?
Now the only education that can have any value is how to use A I
Every other form of education is obsolete and the ignorant Institutions , teachers and parents are dragging the youth into a A I slaughter house
If you are a student and your course is not aggressively teaching you how to use A I , you are being prepared for a non existent job
If you are a parent still measuring your childโs future by traditional ranks and degrees, you are killing their future
If you are a teacher still defending the old curriculum as sacred, you are participating in the death of their careers
The choice is no longer whether AI will change everything.
The only choice left is whether you become the one who wields it , or the one who is replaced by it.
I once again implore ..WAKE UP and SMELL THE SMOKE
