fucking the system
Hey friend,
There’s a great quote by Bucky Fuller that says
“You never change things by fighting the exisiting reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the exisiting model obsolete.”
All the greatest innovations weren’t a bloody war against the old way, but such a leap forward, such a great solution, that the old way became irrelevant.
Bitcoin makes the fed irrelevant.
Uber makes taxi medallions irrelevant.
This is what I am doing with my latest book.
See I could spend my life in opposition, fighting the old education system.
Arguing, debating, trying to change it.
And there would be a lot of stimulation in that for sure.
But instead I am creating a model that completely replaces the need for university or college.
Direct opposition to, or the fighting of, a certain system actually perpetuates it.
The answer is just to build something better.
We were created to build great things.
Nothing feels better than to create great things.
