Nobody Is Coming to Educate You | EP127
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For years, I thought education was something that happened in classrooms, universities, and formal programs. Then I realized that some of the most meaningful learning in my life happened when I took responsibility for my own education.
In this episode, I explore how self-education changed the way I think and live, why I recently enrolled in a free Harvard philosophy course, and what happened when I stopped waiting for someone else to decide what was worth learning.
I also recommend Fences by August Wilson—a powerful play about fathers, responsibility, regret, and the complicated relationships that shape our lives.
If you've ever felt the urge to learn more, think more deeply, or build a richer intellectual life, this episode is for you.
