Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.
Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.
Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”
Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.
Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”
That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.
Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”
The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.
Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”
They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.
8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.
The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.
African migrants in Europe are fascinating to watch. They quite literally do nothing all day but loiter. Every waking hour they are just posted somewhere doing absolutely nothing. The motivated ones run scams or rob, but everyone else is just plopped random places doing absolutely nothing.
Zero ambitions in the new land. You never see emotion, just total vacancy. No happiness that that they get to spend their life in comfort without really doing anything. You never see them smile or laugh. When they do show emotion it's only anger.
It actually drains you being around migrant heavy areas.
It's a strange life. Doing nothing every single day all day besides being random bodies shuffling around aimlessly like an NPC in a video game or just plopping down like a seal on a rock by the ocean.
Apple yıllardır Çin’de olmasına rağmen tek bir sızıntı olmamıştı. Ama sözde riskleri dağıtmak için bir kaç yıldır Hindistan’da operasyonlarını yürütüyordular.
Ne mi oldu? Hintliler IPhone 18’e ait tüm verileri sızdırmışlar. Ama öyle ufak bir sızıntı gibi düşünmeyin. Bildiğiniz her şeyi sızdırmışlar. Tata gruptan gerçekleşen sızıntıda, iPhone 18 Pro’nun 630 GB’lık çekirdek verisini (tedarikçi isimleri, taban fiyatlar, tam mühendislik çizimleri dahil) direkt dark web’e yüklemişler.
Eskiden en fazla Foxconn’da işçiler birkaç bulanık kasa fotoğrafı paylaşırdı. Hintliler resmen iPhone 18’in DNA’sını paylaşmışlar. Şaka gibi ama 200 bin dosya paylaşılmış.
Öyle büyük bir sızıntı ki bu bilgilerle Huawei’nin bile iPhone 18’i bir kaç güne piyasaya sürebileceği esprileri dahi yapılıyor.
Apple de-risk istiyordu fakat Hindistan riskin ta kendisini olmuş.
