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...

Our Robotic Education

It's Not Suitable For Thinking Humans Our education system is so funny that people who got A+ and some 100% for grade 12 Mathematics did so without knowing the meaning of Algebra or other concepts. I'm afraid that if you were to ask the top Math student from the class of 2021, he/she may not know the answer or at least explain what is Algebra in layman's terms. Laymen, in this case, are just like the "intelligent men". So is practising Maths the best method to learn it? Robotic education! I think that's how we are being educated. That is, fill in the damn checklist with what I told you. I define robotic education as a method of teaching individuals that fosters process conformity, repetitive work, and reduced thinking due to a lack of incentives. This education style has a lot of Taylorism in it. It was meant for people to get the work/job done, not to think, innovate, discover, or invent. Just like machines/robots are programmed, maybe that's why the qual...
