More About Me

I'm passionate about

Teaching people. I think that everyone should be able to learn what interests them.

An idea worth spreading

There are many people in North America and around the world that pay for their own education that is dictated to them. Let's let people learn what they want. Freeing up people from spending 10-25 years of their life learning allows you to do more.

  A comment on Conversation: Using the Power of Collaboration to Crowdsource Learning

  Mar 16 2011: I think that realizing that regarding people as students is part of the road block to making learning de-institutionalized. Thinking of people as enthusiasts, someone who is whole heartedly engaged in a particular practice, is the step towards allowing people to learn on they're own what drives them and inspires them to contribute to a better society.
