"DIY dual enrollment", how to get college credit for FREE, at home, while learning from the best universities in the world, with no upper or lower age limit. This hack won't work for all colleges in the USA, but it works for about 3,000 of them (most state schools and many private schools for instance).

Example: Introduction to Biology - 6 credit hours

Step 1- Find an open course from a university or professor that you admire (you would be surprised by how many there are) and go through it at your pace. For Bio I picked this fantastic course from MIT. It's really high energy and engaging, plus it comes with tons of extra practice materials. This will set the foundation.

Step 2- Go to Modern States and complete their coursework for your corresponding course, this will allow you to take the CLEP test (College-Level Examination Program) from the College Board for FREE!

Step 3- Find a local proctoring center (community colleges and libraries are great for this) to take the CLEP test. If you get a passing score, congratulations! You did it!

That's because schools take your kids during their best hours and give them back to you after they are tired and worn out from a long day.

Not only do schools take 16,000 hours away from parents, they take the BEST 16,000 hours.

AWS INTERVIEW QUESTION

[Joe Norman @normonics]

V2 of @sage_teacher is approaching the Primer. I don't know of anything nearly as close.

DM if you'd like early access. We haven't even started beta yet but have turned it on for a few families and the difference from v1 is substantial.

10 AWS projects you should build

① Static Website → S3 + CloudFront
② EC2 Web Server → launch and secure a server
③ Serverless API → Lambda + API Gateway
④ URL Shortener → Lambda + DynamoDB
⑤ File Upload System → S3 + presigned URLs
⑥ Image Processing App → S3 + Lambda
⑦ Monitoring Setup → CloudWatch logs + alarms
⑧ Scalable Web App → ALB + Auto Scaling
⑨ 3-Tier Architecture → ALB → EC2 → RDS
⑩ Secure VPC → public + private subnets

AWS projects are not about launching random services.
They’re about connecting services into real systems.

⚡️I actually think this is one of the defining patterns of the next decade.

Not because smart people suddenly became less intelligent.

Because the market changed what it rewards.

For most of the twentieth century, intelligence and economic success were highly correlated because institutions had a scarcity of cognitive labor.

The smartest engineer.

The smartest lawyer.

The smartest analyst.

The smartest doctor.

The system paid for intelligence because intelligence was scarce.

AI is beginning to industrialize intelligence itself.

That breaks the old bargain.

The smartest person in the room no longer automatically creates the most economic value.

The person who organizes capital.

Owns distribution.

Builds a company.

Creates trust.

Coordinates people.

Owns assets.

Uses AI better than everyone else.

Often wins.

The market has always rewarded value creation, not IQ.

The twentieth century happened to make those two look almost identical.

That may have been the anomaly.

The deeper tragedy is psychological.

Many brilliant people built their identity around being intellectually exceptional.

Then the world shifted.

Their comparative advantage disappeared while their identity remained attached to it.

That creates paralysis.

Meanwhile the “mid” person keeps moving.

Not because they’re smarter.

Because they optimize for the game that actually exists instead of the one that rewarded them in school.

School rewards correctness.

Markets reward adaptation.

Those are different skills.

The smartest people often become prisoners of their own models.

Average people often become surprisingly successful because they update faster.

The deepest pattern is this:

Intelligence without agency is becoming one of the least rewarded combinations in modern civilization.

That is why the post feels true.

Not every genius is failing.

Not every average person is succeeding.

The distribution itself is changing.

The future belongs less to the people who know the most.

It belongs to the people who convert knowledge into ownership, action, trust, and leverage.

The twentieth century rewarded being the best worker.

The twenty-first increasingly rewards becoming the owner of the system the workers operate inside.

That is the phase transition.

And I think most people still believe they’re living in the old one.

I agree with John—especially about how good Robert’s article is—but I think these are actually bad people with bad ideas.

They don’t want to improve education.

They want to replace it with something worse but more profitable.

Roughly 90% of the total time you’ll ever spend with your kids happens before they turn 18.
