The Case for Autodidacticism
Rethinking Higher Education Amid Spiraling Costs and Ideological Bias

In recent times, we have seen a growing discussion around higher education institutions in the Western sphere revolve around two core issues: the escalating costs of tuition and the ideological straitjacketing. Notable institutions in the United States and beyond have come under the spotlight for being breeding grounds of a singular school of thought, often accused of stifling diverse intellectual discourse. Coupled with the soaring financial burden associated with university education, it has precipitated a crisis of sorts. At the heart of this crisis is a growing question - is it prudent to incur hefty debts for an education perceived as an ideological echo chamber? This article posits a return to autodidacticism as a plausible antidote to the malaise engulfing modern-day academia.

The bedrock of any vibrant academic environment is the flourishing of a plurality of ideas, where discourse and disagreement are the catalysts for intellectual growth. However, many universities have morphed into echo chambers that amplify a monolithic ideology while silencing dissenting voices. This ideological indoctrination is not only harmful to education per se but is antithetical to the very ethos of academic freedom.

In parallel, the astronomical costs of university education have emerged as a deterrent for many aspiring learners. The burgeoning student debt crisis in the United States is a stark testament to this difficulty. The financial albatross of student loans, often borne for decades post-graduation, has led many to question the return on investment of a university degree, especially in an era where the ideological coloring of academia is under the microscope.

Amidst this backdrop, I propose the resurgence of autodidacticism as a viable alternative. Autodidacticism - the self-directed learning ethos - is in no way a new concept. Throughout history, numerous luminaries, such as polymath Leonardo da Vinci, architect Frank Lloyd Wright, and Nobel prize-winning writers William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, have showcased the boundless potential inherent in self-guided learning. In a world packed with a vast array of learning resources, from online courses to digital libraries, the tools for self-education have never been more accessible.

The premise of autodidacticism aligns seamlessly with the digital age. Platforms like Coursera, edX, and Khan Academy have democratized access to a plethora of subjects, rendering the acquisition of knowledge a pursuit unshackled from the traditional brick-and-mortar classrooms and, by extension, from the alleged ideological blinkers therein. Furthermore, the financial equation of self-directed learning is compelling, with many resources available either freely or at a fraction of the cost of traditional university tuition.

Engaging with autodidacticism does not merely serve as a workaround to the financial and ideological hurdles associated with contemporary higher education. It is a nod to the intrinsic human curiosity and the indomitable spirit of inquiry. It empowers individuals to take the reins of their educational journey, exploring myriad ideas unfettered by institutional biases. Furthermore, it fosters a lifelong love for learning. In doing so, autodidacticism could very well sow the seeds for a more open, less financially burdensome, and profoundly enriching educational paradigm.

Wow! In BeNOCODER we help non techs how to create digital products without coding. Would be interesting to learn more about @weweb_io .

One year in the life of a startup in the #nocode space:

❄️ January 2021 – We start Y Combinator with:

- a no-code website builder,
- a few big name customers,
- a conviction that there is a need for a no-code tool to build the frontend of websites using decoupled backends

[benocoder @benocoder]

@bubble In fact, it was already done a few weeks ago, so the suggestions are duplicated.

There are lot's of low-hanging fruits like these translation issues in Bubble. It would be nice to get many small updates that make people's lives easier in a future update.

[benocoder @benocoder]

@bubble would it be too much to ask that you let us define the string for the default language app when we create a string id?

It seems that no one at Bubble has created a multi-language app, even though the feature works great. :-)

[benocoder @benocoder]

@bubble Done! The whole ideaboard thing would probably be more useful if you could see what are the most recent suggestions, the most voted on, and so on.

As it is, it doesn't really make it easy for you to go through the suggestions and upvote the ones you agree with.

[benocoder @benocoder]

@bubble Sure!
