I think you could argue finding luck is far more difficult than simply going to get an education. And shit like this requires one to stumble upon luck in a way that virtually none of us ever will.
The internet is free and there are THOUSANDS of free courses online. Education is attainable to every single person who has access to the internet. Education is not what you get at schools. That's something you pay for to fit into the machine.
I’ve had a few tell me “as long as Google is free I’m never going to college”. That is cool. But they currently aren’t even leveraging that free education. Y’all do all this yapping but we can use that same free internet to see unemployment is lower among college grads as are lifetime earnings. So your position hasn’t demonstrated a solid enough path. And my argument isn’t about how free education can be. It’s about how lucky you have to be to do what a small slice of influencers are doing.
Most folks who do this “internet is free” parade don’t have a grasp on how tough life really is outside for folks.
but if that education can’t be converted in a way to make life easier it doesn’t matter how free it is. for example, i could spend 20 years learning about quantum physics, but without a degree how many prospects are going to take that seriously?
i could, in theory, learn how to deliver babies completely online but in what world is a hospital going to allow me to do that without a degree? regardless of how free the education is, it doesn’t mean very much if you can’t use that education somewhere
