What do you think the government has as an incentive to allow for such schools to give out medical and law and theology degrees?

2020-02-22 21:57:35 UTC  

Goverment will increase the cost and lower the quality if they do

2020-02-22 21:58:12 UTC  

the question is, would it become easier to become a doctor or lawyer. I think if u do the same with hospitals it would

2020-02-22 21:58:30 UTC  

I'm not sure if they do it consciously, I think it's rather the nature of any parasitic relationship.

2020-02-22 21:59:04 UTC  

That's also partly why I mentioned the human condition earlier.

2020-02-22 21:59:27 UTC  

I think we best operate in smaller ad more woven communities

2020-02-22 21:59:50 UTC  

I'd like to think that, at least that's what empirical evidence tells me

2020-02-22 22:01:33 UTC  

.

Is it true than, that any such thing cannot exist only if it has the same self governing right locally?

2020-02-22 22:01:55 UTC  

(like the government enjoys now)

2020-02-22 22:02:43 UTC  

honestly i think it could become a massive problem if its locally. i think state would be better

2020-02-22 22:02:56 UTC  

@ETBrooD
I'm glad you popped in you've had some good ideas the last time we spoke about this

2020-02-22 22:03:29 UTC  

I think nothing will change, schools will remain shit

2020-02-22 22:04:03 UTC  

I think state and local can work together yeah

2020-02-22 22:04:08 UTC  

I consider the education system hopeless. What must happen is that people spread information outside of the system, thus making it irrelevant.

2020-02-22 22:04:43 UTC  

Education must become as cheaply and easily available as sugar

2020-02-22 22:05:03 UTC  

Education is the cost of an internet connection

2020-02-22 22:05:26 UTC  

No not really unfortunately

2020-02-22 22:05:59 UTC  

i dont think you got what i'm saying

2020-02-22 22:06:07 UTC  

If that was the case maybe the situation would be better, but there's a lot of information that's behind massive paywalls for the public, but "freely" accessible to students and scholars

2020-02-22 22:06:23 UTC  

Even though it's not free, they get subsidized

2020-02-22 22:06:37 UTC  

yeah thats true. but you can get info that's not on pay walls

2020-02-22 22:06:58 UTC  

Yeah but none of the good stuff, because they want to maintain their monopoly on knowledge

2020-02-22 22:07:34 UTC  

i think it's just better education methods rather than knowledge

2020-02-22 22:08:14 UTC  

What makes their education methods good in any way? Most students have an extremely low retention rate into their adult years.

2020-02-22 22:08:49 UTC  

That statement should be "if you dont practice you forget"

2020-02-22 22:09:17 UTC  

It's not that simple. Teachers are trained in very poor quality education methods, like lecturing.

2020-02-22 22:09:34 UTC  

Yet they get paid ungodly amounts for that low quality effort.

2020-02-22 22:09:52 UTC  

And that by tax money, not by private donors or consumers.

2020-02-22 22:10:23 UTC  

Yeah i don't disagree with you there. You'll be called a racist for saying that xD

2020-02-22 22:10:47 UTC  

Yeah I guess in the US that'd be the case, fortunately I'm Austrian.

2020-02-22 22:11:57 UTC  

even private schools.. they they aint private. Anything that gets goverment funding directly isn't private

2020-02-22 22:12:35 UTC  

Yeah

2020-02-22 22:13:24 UTC  

There are even worse cases of private schools for migrant children where they don't even have to teach the national curriculum while receiving subsidization, it's messed up.

2020-02-22 22:13:48 UTC  

My dad used to teach at one of those.

2020-02-22 22:14:42 UTC  

There's really only one solution, people must create a database of general knowledge and recent scientific papers.

2020-02-22 22:15:00 UTC  

Like wiki, but for profit, and without any state subsidization.

2020-02-22 22:15:23 UTC  

They must also create a student-teacher network around that platform.

2020-02-22 22:15:36 UTC  

there should be multiple of them to force competition

2020-02-22 22:15:51 UTC  

Exactly.

2020-02-22 22:16:07 UTC  

The problem is, however, that public schools drive the prices of those private organizations up.
