The Qualifications Disparity (Lite Version)

Qualifications and Work (Real World) I hesitated to publish this monologue since it may appear anti-education. However, I would say it is more purpose-based education rather than "education because I don't know what to do with my life". In the absence of a grooming culture in the workplace, going to school for the sake of climbing the ladder may be detrimental if one is not promoted or is inexperienced; of course, the rules are not written in stone but bendable. This is not an argument against education. I will never (Lol, never say never) argue against education, especially learning. I'm a proponent of learning; even if you are not at school, at least be a rigorous learner. Formal Schooling is only for providing a structured learning approach and a certificate at the end of the program. While on this, undergraduate degrees are very important as a kickstarter. The disparity of qualification in the work environment is about how those who may be less qualified than you ...

Importance of Failure Data

Failure Teaches More than Miraculous Success Failure is very important, and gathering the right failure data is even more important. For instance, it starts when animals are born, such as humans. The life of a baby is full of failures. Watching a baby elephant learn how to use its trunk was very interesting. Back to humans! Human babies are master experimenters and experiment for the longest time into their 30s. But some never trust their instincts completely and continue experiencing and learning new things mainly from their failures; these are your atypical scientists. Babies have the drive to test everything around them. Thanks to our Robotic Education System , we kill this innate behaviour very quickly. I hope technology will get us to a point where we have individualized homeschool-based learning through online channels. This is where the metaverse for education comes in.  Failure data can be the difference between successful leading individuals or companies and those that are...

Back to the Basics - Forget the Government

Maybe This Might Work - Family and Mastery So far, I don't see us doing anything that works, maybe I'm wrong, but hear me out. A nation is an abstract view of a people living within certain borders. What are a nation and a nation-state? The Cambridge Dictionary states, " A country, especially when thought of as a large group of people living in one area with their own government, language, traditions, etc. " And a nation-state is a state constituted of people who share almost everything from race, language, culture, etc. Given these definitions, South Africa is a nation, not a nation-state. And a set of black individuals does not necessarily make a black nation.  Forget the government  is not to say you don't have some responsibilities to fellow citizens or don't take the government's policy positions serious. It's to say, problem-solving begins at home. Like others say that "Charity begins at home". Otherwise, if it starts elsewhere, it'...
