I am asked for Gmail
Hey everyone, can you please help me what to do- I don’t have and don’t use anything from Google. Now for school I am asked to provide Gmail. Is there way out ? What else, maybe some other email provider is compatible with school emailing system, because now teacher must use her personal email to email me and she is not happy at all…
So much exhausting bureaucratic organisational downtime in college between ladles of info, perchance you’re fit for it when they pour it, compared to just freely swimming in the ocean of information.
It takes some kind of self motivation, be that curiosity, dedication, purpose or something else.
Then it’s not just faster, it’s broader, deeper and further, than narrow metric matching of industrial “educations”'s specialisation’s maximal-ignorance-bar-one; than is sought in employment roles that simply seek a degree. [Which I’m given to understand is increasingly the type of adaptive polymathy sought in many endeavours.]
Also then there’s the perspectives that value education above mere preparation for employment roles.
Hmm, I don’t fully agree.
I teach myself most things, which means I know a little about a lot of things. But it’s more specific and less general.
If I take a course, I tend to learn more completely the parts I’d otherwise skip just to achieve the task at hand
Yeah for sure there’s a mix, different usecases, and it’s just handy to illustrate the other extremes, to elucidate others of the existence of these other paradigms otherwise beyond their ken. Some of them may indeed likewise have been a star shaped peg trying to fit in a square shaped hole, not realising there are ways that fit them better.
Corroborating
and such, I’ve come across www.youtube.com/watch?v=Akj4EGPiQEY … interesting for anyone interested in pedagogy and psychology and sociology and so on. Johan Hari on Peter McCormack, “We Built A World Humans Aren’t Designed For”.
It seems like awareness of this is increasing,
and shall increase even more as the mismatch of provision and needs widens as ai and robots increasingly take up more and more of what industrial education had been conditioning us to be the robots for. Our robotification shall become farther out of reach of worth, into redundancy, revealing our real worth.
Johan Hari puts it better than my mangled clumsy verbosity.
