Here’s a wonderful RSA Animate video about public education and how it could be changed. I have thoughts, but most of them would serve to convince me to abandon the comfortable wagon I’ve boarded here at university and I’m tired so it’s not really the time for thinking anyway.
For a mostly unrelated but still incredibly interesting idea that’s sort of like this but applied to the workplace, read up on the concept of flow proposed by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. I’ve been reading a sci-fi book distributed for free on the internet where the core concept is that this was successfully applied to all work, creating a new term for work called “grinding” because work became as entertaining and engaging as video games, thus a job became a “grinder game.” It’s conceptually interesting but reads a lot like fanfiction because characters have names like “D_Light”, “TermaMax” and worst of all “A_Dude”.
I’m not even joking. There’s a character called A_Dude.
