‘Great story; compelling and rich’
I think if I had an allergy that put my life on the line, my life would be completely transformed. I'd only go to places I know wouldnt put me at risk
Yeah.
What are people's thoughts on homeschooling/unschooling here anyway? I dunno about financial logistics but the methodology seems sound
Our founding fathers were all classically educated, and I think of them whenever I think of 'great minds'
So it has to be some kind of healthy learning methodology
@Beemann It completely depends on the parents. I was homeschooled and I have a few mixed feelings on it, however I think I would've done worse in a public school.
Public school fxcked me up for life
Or rather, set me back a lot
Unschooling goes a little further, and basically focuses on where the child is motivated to learn
The argument being that school turns learning into a chore, which is true tbh
Yeah I would have much rather learned backwards. Be tasked with substantive things, and then be taught afterwards about it
Tbh I'm starting to think that being a moderately successful (financially) country with relatively low population density is the optimal way to do things
Low(ish) land costs, easier to start a small business
Just make sure you have an ambiguous number of WMDs and you can largely avoid mass conflict
Going back to the education, I would have liked participating in that experiment they did in (Arizona?) where a whole class was formed from teenage volunteers and put on a ranch
They organized the living arrangement amongst themselved
Assigned jobs and roles to one another
And underwent classical education
One of the jobs was managing the huge walk-in freezer I think
Was a cool setup
They had no contact with the "outside world" for months
No electricity besides for the essentials
But yeah re: unschooling in general, one of my subscribed podcasts is based around it
So I was curious about it
I started listening because the topics and guests seemed neat
@Beemann Anything yet from Blonde about our little project?
Nay
I should’ve asked when I was on the Colin show.
Call in
Voice to text hates southern accents
Who the hell is Colin?
Say call in with a southern accent.
Nice
I had a cousin that moved to Tennessee for a couple of years. Despite the fact that for his entire life he'd had the normal, complete lack of accent like everyone else from Texas, he came back talking like a cowboy.
Colon show
Matt's favorite
I don't know what that means, but it sounds really gross.
Lol
