This is unbelievable. How can one man be so worthless?

i'm worried about how VR will effect the human condition.

The walls white, plain, inoffensive. Safe. That’s the word that best describes this place. Safe. When I was first brought here I thought it odd, the way the school was run. “An educational revolution”, “Praxis Sui Generis”; shallow slogans, but not inaccurate. You could call it “radical group learning”—no teachers, no curriculum; marking was democratized, you could propose the class talk about anything. Within reasonable limits, of course. All this was facilitated by the new Psycho-Social Education Uplink Device, but we just called it the white cap. Oval, white, with an antenna sticking from the top: to receive the thoughts of the class and prevent electrical interfetterence, or so I was told. Even the way the room was organized was decided by the class. This was through the appreciation system. Those who submitted thoughts the class appreciated would gain “appreciation”, which would move them forward in the classroom. It was simple, really—those with the best opinions would move to the front of the class, while those with less appreciated opinions would be moved back. The white caps weren’t perfect; the further away from the projector you were, the quieter your thoughts were, the closer, the louder. The projector was placed at the front of the room. Which was good, of course, as it allowed the most appreciated to be better heard. At first, I had my reservations, as I imagine anyone reading this might. When I first put on my white cap I asked the very thing you’re probably thinking: Isn’t everyone’s opinion of equal worth? Surely, we should all be an equal distance from the projector so we can all be heard. That comment was highly appreciated by the class. One front rower quipped “1984 wasn’t supposed to be an instruction manual!”. The classroom roared with laughter at that one, figuratively of course. Looking back on it, I didn’t realize just how funny that was; 1984 WASN’T supposed to be an instruction manual. I’ll have to thank him later. I moved 3 spaces forward that day. It’s been three 3 years since then and we all agree that we’ve learned a lot, we’re a very enlightened class. The way the class is structured sorts the gold opinions from the static, so to speak. I think I’ll stay here.

>The sky's the limit. I am now starting to formalize my plans to bring accredited online humanities education to as many people as possible around the world. My colleagues and I (who include excellent engineers, programmers, financiers and educators) want to take the humanities back from the corrupt postmodernists, and offer education of the highest possible quality everywhere at 1/10 the price or less. We'll solve the accreditation problem as well, offering degree-equivalents with real psychometric value: best student in 10000; best in 1000; best in 100; best in 10; best in 5 (and no certification granted below that). We want to automate and crowdsource the problem of teaching people to write. We want to set up the courses so that (1) the content itself is constantly graded and improved and (2) the same goes for the accreditation process. We'll start with the humanities, including history, generating something approximately a four year liberal arts college degree, teaching people how to be responsible, literate, effective, powerful, confident citizens. We want to conduct real research into how people learn (and how they learn fast) and use the results of that research to make education better. It's high time for the humanities of the new millenium.

100% snake oil.

We're a species that went from horse buggies to nukes within two generations. Lay off the unwarranted conservatism.
