Well as a 12 year old I think they are lacking, Well the reason for that is because tradonitional schools just like hire whoever they see and it's pretty much it very easy to be a teacher school in traditional schools. You just need to go to a easy college or university and learn. But in Elon's school there are teachers who are more talented than traditional school teachers and traditional schools lack being clean and stuff.
Lets looks look at the physics and economics of a rocket. What elementary kids know about either one of those? If if they know what analyze and physics means, they are not going to "Lets analyze the physics.." lol
@@KennTollens the kids he's talking to are already used to this type of talking. if he was talking to a random school kids in a random place, they would just get bored.
@@KennTollens I don't think he's literally asking them to analyze the physics. I think he's telling them the basis of the first principles is to analyze the physics and economics. I'd imagine after he was done with that speech he probably gave them some other first principles exercise that was more within their grasp.
Keep in mind however that these videos are edited. There is a high chance he already told him or taught them the definition of physics the day before. Teaching is about building on top of other things.
he wouldn't last a day or would get fired in a typical school. nothing bad about him. speaks more to our culture and our education and government leadership.
In his schools kids learn how to deal and solve stuff. A refreshing alternative to normal schools were they teach you how a man can be a woman and how to identify as a chair and be proud about it.

You can't critically think without very strong foundations in basics of a discipline. It is not cognitively possible. This type of education goes against considerable evidence we have in terms of how to teach children and is beyond idiotic. I can't stand fad ideas and people who think they can "do better", not even realizing what the true impediments are to our schools - which are intimately related to stupid ideas like this that are introduced without respect to key staples like ZPD or proper hierarchical instruction.
I think kids are being underestimated when it comes to what they can understand at their age so good for him teaching kids these things this early in their lives.
Why wait for their aptitude and innovation to atrophy when they are still young enough to retain a child-like back-to-the-drawing-board mindset to solve problems. When commenting on the deliberately-botched Afghanistan exit even little kids knew that you shouldn't pull the soldiers out of a warzone unless and until all the people and equipment have been safely extracted first.. their thoughts are not muddied by politics.
Break it down into easy to digest segments or real life examples, there you go you have taught the basics. But, idk to 6 year old haha, maybe 8-10. I was taught archimedes principle and showed it at a science fair in elementary school. Obviously my friends dad and mine were engineers (lmao) but we still got the fundamental basics down. They provided the specifics and the equations, but we built out a little model that had a tub of precaculated water/volume, tupperware with steel shot as weight, which would displace given water as a result and referenced/checked by hashmarks or a ruler on side of the tub to validate the equation was working. What I’m trying to say, I understood the principle at hand and it was very cool to learn about.
This is what a lot of homeschoolers do. I taught my 3 sons with my husband to ask why and find out how things work “thinking outside of the box.” They all 3 loved sciences. Also, they enjoyed nature and music and art. They were not limited to learning just indoors or a room.
It will, but not for like 200 or 300 years..which kind of sucks because I'm poor af, and my 10year old reads books about particle physics, comprehends quite alot about the way our universe is, and the other day talked to me about the simulation theory. When I asked him where he learned that, he said he made it up. But he is failing in school, his teachers have him in a bunch of classes to help him catch up with his classmates and he tells me all the time he feels stupid, but he isn't stupid, and I fucking hate him having to go somewhere that makes him feel like this.

The more I learn about Elon, the more I think he is one of the most important people of our lifetime. I had no idea about his school or even that there was a thing called first principals, but I get it and have tried to drill the same concept in the heads of all the kids I'm around including my own. My grandfather taught me to never stop asking questions but he passed away before I was old enough to really learn anything about all the stuff he fixed or built. Even though he passed early he gave me the ability to know how to figure stuff out on my own and to break down complex systems to their basic individual functions. There's nothing I can't fix and most puzzles that would leave people stumped for days are a simple task for me. Thank you Grandpa, you continued to beneficially impact my life for years after you were gone and I can't be more grateful.
Not trying to make this political, but it's relevant. I think both sides are willfully ignorant about many things... HOWEVER, the one that probably drives me the most crazy is how the left hates Elon Musk. Not even counting the fact he's one of the few people on this planet that wants to and is ACTIVELY TRYING to save the entire human race, he's also just an incredibly likable person. I was on this dating app called OkCupid, which matches you based on how you've answered a wide variety of questions. One of those questions was "Is Elon Musk crazy smart, or just crazy?". At least over 50% of peoples answers was "just crazy". So out of pure curiousity, I messaged every single person I found who answered "just crazy" and asked them in the most safe/non-judgemental way I could, why they thought he was just crazy. After not a single answer, I even changed my question to sound like I agreed with them but that I was just curious for their reason for thinking he's crazy. Still, not one answer. What the hell. The obvious answer now is "He supports nazis!" or something, due to his changes to Twitter.. But I was asking these questions before he made the purchase. Either way.... Imagine hating someone for such a childish reason, when they're literally trying to safe the human race lol.
@whatNtarnation90 I've also been cruising the online dating apps semi-recently as a guy who grew up getting dates by talking to women in public without getting some kind of extreme feminist lecture. The dating scene went full potato after Trump got elected, and they started hypnotizing women and kids through social media. I've figured out the easiest way to sort through the far leftist virtue signalers without sparking some absurd political debate I have no interest in having is to ask one simple question. "What do you think of Elon Musk". The answer to that question will tell you everything you need to know in regards to how hypnotized they really are by all the online propaganda
Bravo Elon! I hated scool because I feel stupid, not understanding what to use the knowledge for. Today I have been studying several interesting topics 😊
dont you think if they didnt understand the basics of the most integral part of the conversation he would have started at the first principles on the first day, considering that is the entire curriculum lol, thats like saying you cant teach something to somone if they dont understand it completely before you start teaching them.... uhhh...
So you mean to say he already taughts them basic math and basic physics? I doubt. He always talks about learning by doing. This is not structural nor coherent way of educating, because it does not include deduction from basic theoretical level.@@kalenlarsen
@@snuffeldjuret no wonder maturity of people don't have critical thinking as someone who has experienced Indian education system which honestly looks like a slave factory..
Humans that think there's a solution of our current educational system are delusional, ignorant and uneducated. Because our current educational system follows much better theories of teaching than Elon could imagine and most people have 0 clue about. There are thousands of doctors, professors, scientists etc. developing the best possible teaching system and curriculum for many decades, wtf do you guys think? The issue lays that its simply sociologically not possible to implement these ideas and wishes on a wide basis. There's a lack of finances, resources and personnel.
I don't think kids at this age have even grasped what the word "principle" means. Elon is projecting the smallest minority of genius/gifted kids with abnormally higher IQ on the average kids in school. This plan will NEVER work, it's like expecting everyone else to be like Elon Musk. I don't like when Elon assumes that "A says something is impossible, therefore B must also say it's impossible" is a faulty basis for problem solving. Our reality has proven that it is impossible to have everyone move like Elon Musk, therefore no one else can say that it's possible, because it just is, quite frankly, IMPOSSIBLE. There's no workaround to that.
Super interesting...I had a great Czech professor in hydraulics...he battled for over a year to get me to think fundamentally (!) Eventually it happened.. changed my life!
I love that he just talks to them like adults, and that they give them adult problems to solve. One of the most valuable things about youth is the creative and imaginative mindset that hasn't yet been wrangled, subdued, caged and standardized by the public school system.
What he actually wants is more people working for him, same as any other rich person. I don't see any "revolutionary" sh!t on anything he is doing like everyone is saying in the comments. For me, he is trying more ways to improve his industries and get even more rich. Fan people is so naive to think he is some kind of missionary. He is just another rich man interested in his own stuff (nothing bad on that).
@@ieorlich Elon is driven by the desire to solve problems and make the world better. He certainly is not driven by a desire for wealth. Getting some future adults on the path to becoming excellent problem .solvers means that we will stand a better chance of fixing new problems that arise.
dont be surprised if they do. if u speak to children like children, they will learn at the rate at which you think children should be learning at. i.e. your limitations are their's.
@@gecn9685 I am glad someone understands that. It is why i was popular with kids when i was in a charter school since i traveled to school with bus which had students of all ages that coule communicate with eachother but instead people seperated themselves by age. I treated kids like thier like anyone else which made me come off across as not treating them as below me. I treated everyone who could commuicate good as normal. I was a student btw not a teacher and i understood that logic you know easily without a teacher.
@@darkmoon2744 yes. people who no clue how quickly children can pick up things. they can absorb complex topics like a sponge without the mental barrier most adults have.
This is fabulous. I want the American public school system to come back. It is harming kids in so many ways and holding our country back. This right here is what we need.
I've mostly been educated on computers and toys. I had a plastic computer that I carried around, and I learned basic math on that. I spent all summer on "Read, Write, and Type." It would not have taken a normal child as long as it did me. We are considered waste in the classrooms and get passed along. You can't fail some kids, which is stupid but yes. Many of us go on to interesting ends. Corey Johnson should be a hero by American standards.
The public education system in this country is broken and has been for a long time. We need major reform to stay relevant in the world technology industry.
Great content. Impressive exclusive footage. Please add more episodes and perhaps some in person interviews of current and former students. Also, a dedicated in-depth or long-form demo of Brilliant itself will also be interesting. Thanks again.
I recall Jack Ma talking in his videos for entrepreneurs about requiring his creative teams to think outside the box. If he had an idea that was rejected as impractical or something, he would pursue it. He would actually reject ideas that were popular with his employees. He wanted to stay ahead of competitors that tended to all do the same thing.
Not evryone becomes an engineer, in my opinion school lets you discover what do you want to do in your life. Higher education is were you go for the subject you are most interested in. But to be fair the different subjects in school could be given in a beter way
I remember being taught what critical thinking is and seeing my teacher failing to get across what it actually is and make us students understand. They would give examples of what it is and not explain how to do it ourselves. We copied how these sentences worked and made essays, and they wondered why most of my classmates got low scores. I got the gist of it but never used it until later in life.
As someone who can credit a massive portion of what I can do now to the extracurricular activities I did in middle and high school - namely robot design competitions - I can attest that getting the kids to develop their brain as much as possible with useful skills as young as possible is extremely important. You learn much more slowly as you get older, so the more you can get right at a young age, the better. It's the same with computer programmers. The best ones are the ones who started when they were 10.
This was very amusing to read as someone who is at the top of their cohort in a computer science program at the age of 36 and I've only been learning for two years. I run circles around kids and have a way easier time grasping programming topics and do so at an exponentially faster rate than most of these above average IQ 20-sometings (thank you genetics). To be fair, there is a kernel of truth to your sentiment, but that idea is a bit outdated and rooted in tons of faulty neuroscience that you see mostly from pop psych articles. It's true that older people tend to be more rigid in their thinking, but it is far from being the barrier that you seem to think it is. I outperform almost every single young person I meet, and a large part of that is due to the wisdom I've gained from age. Hell, even if you look at this from an IQ perspective, very little performance is lost until you are in your 60s or older. New data is showing more and more that the decline is negligible for the majority of our lives provided you take care of yourself. The real issue is rigid thinking, and hilariously, your comment is a perfect example of that. The true roadblock. I guess I'd expect nothing less from someone seeking out Elon Musk videos on youtube with a cringe doge pfp. Yikes. Stay mediocre kids. I'm going to change the fucking world. Look up the CAIT intelligence test. I scored a 153 and smoked all the kids on the r/cognitivetesting subreddit at the things people associate with youth (speed and working memory). Age has nothing on the truly gifted with a plan and a drive. I bet you believe in "the 10,000 hour rule" and other such nonsense as well.
What we call education today was well suited for the people from the 1st industrial revolution. Today we have totally different challenges and working stiles that require a different/holistic approach to education
They're looking for pushover corporate drones, hope the next generations that will succeed the old will not be sociopathic that will continue this dystopian shenanigans of the current.
Here’s a First Principle: Don’t lie about “FSD”. Tesla FSD is still running lights and randomly breaking in moving traffic. Seriously.. Musk always brings up “first principals” when he wants to impress investors.. it’s the only engineering concept he ever mentions or seems to know.. and it would seem most Space X employees agree, otherwise there’d be a lot more students in that school
This type of education is basically what they teach at many, but not all, academically inclined military academies around the world. But because it's not Elon Musk or Silicon Valley, and because people can't use critical thinking with regards to war, many (but not all) look down on education in military academies.
I remember in grade school I had a science project coming up in the day of the science project my dad took a evaporator put a hose on it put it into a mason jar covered it with Saran wrap put rubber bands around it and I took it to school and drew a vacuum.❤❤❤
And how would these kids evaluate "a better design" without first learning the principles of mathematics and laws of physics and computer skills? This is education made for the TV camera, but not the kids.
Omg I watched this in my early years as my husband stayed up for days to write a graphic user interface from the mainframe to the stand alone. To watch such such agony in his head. Trying to get it out and write it. For days. I reminded him. You can You can. I love the freedom of such a beautiful mind to be and has its place Huch god intended
This is great! Makes me have a different perspective on him as a person. I hope we can see the school system change to teach history just as it happened and sciemce and math in entertaining ways, where kids can follow what they are passionate about in that moment. The teachers jobs would be to answer questions in advanced detail and teach to each childs goal. If we want a society full of specialized jobs and people, we shouldnts try to standardize "common core" everything. I also think critically thinking and logical reasoning should be taught repeatedly as the frontal cortex is forming. The future i want is one where we start caring more about the bottom of society and trying to raise the floor and rebuild a strong and healthy middle class by reducing wealth inequality. Is it moral to have multiple billions of dollars especially invested in appreciating assets? (I do think elon in trying to fight the good fight. Its cool for people to understand its all about the next generation, but what about not just the private school kids?
I thought he works 100 hour weeks and always sleeps in the office? How does he have time to post hundreds of comments on Twitter, read hundreds of books a year, fly all over the world, and teach classes at his house?
Elon is a great teacher. I have thought about educational systems for a long time as well. We are lucky to have Elon in our lifetimes. He is a big thinker and applies sound principles to his ideas. I like it!
Building a new generation of change makers. Kids who don't believe that the way things have always worked is how they should work. And having the confidence to change those things, no matter how massive the challenge

@@clarki2954my kids’ school is great. Regular public school, the teachers are doing a great job. I suspect most people who hate on schools (1) don’t actually have kids in school; and (2) get all their info about what schools are like from Tucker Carlson.
The fact that the school is in Gene Wilder's (Willy Wonka's) former house, makes it look like they're training the next Oompa Loompas for Space X / Tesla
He's raising more Elon-esque type of personalities, so that one day, space tech is a common sense, that anyone has. I think we ought to think like Elon if we are ready to accept a future of abundance. Star Trek "matter replicators", day one.
"Thinking like " is never a good idea, and doesn't really lead to new things and to improvement. What Elon proposes in terms of education, which is not new either, is precisely the opposite. Don't think like others. Don't say "can't be done" because somebody else said so. So, definitely don't think like Elon. Learn and listen to him as you learn from and listen to others, then think for yourself. Generally, elon-esque personalities don't play well with others that are alike. That's why, if you look at some of Elon's closest colaborators, like Gwynne, they're quite different from him. A team works when you have different people with different opinions, not when you have clones.
@@davidrojas4687 yeah most innovation seekers also happen to have "rebel" personality, or (E/I)NTP according to Myer-Briggs. Cant adapt to the norm; won't adapt to the norm; system builders. LABELS I personally would be careful about labels though. Terms like: 1. divergents, separatists, rebels, drop-outs 2. critics, opposition, "the resistance" 3. smart prefixes "un" or "under" (as in undergrad), "non" (as in non-believers or non-compliance), "off" (as in off-grid, offline as if to suggest that being offline is a crime.) and other similar words are part of a bigger propaganda/agenda. It feels as if there is a dedicated team of word-makers whose entire job is to induce panic using Smart-Repulsive Labels as a tactic. In my animations, I try to use friendlier terms in my narration. We should start better replacements for these word vomits.
School is all about grades than it is about learning. The way people get grades in school also is focused on how well you guessed what would appear in test and exams before sitting for it and to forget about 70 or 80 percent of what you just studied after 3 months.
This is only possible if you have nice kids from families that are functional. The problem with public schools is it’s filled with kids from families that don’t care about education.
Your masters don't want you thinking critically, or it would be part of the curriculum. They want you to be able to follow instructions and show up on time. That's what is stressed.
In my opinion, this method of teaching is far more important than space x, tesla, neural link, open ai and everything else that musk has built or is part of.
Why wouldn't the side panels of the returning rocket flip out in two segments and propeller down to decrease descending speed. Less rocket booster requirement. Centrifugal force inertia reduces gravitational pull.

Thank you Grandpa, you continued to beneficially impact my life for years after you were gone and I can't be more grateful.
I concur
Neil deGrasse Tyson even says that Elon Musk is the most important human being alive
100 percent dude
Not trying to make this political, but it's relevant. I think both sides are willfully ignorant about many things... HOWEVER, the one that probably drives me the most crazy is how the left hates Elon Musk. Not even counting the fact he's one of the few people on this planet that wants to and is ACTIVELY TRYING to save the entire human race, he's also just an incredibly likable person. I was on this dating app called OkCupid, which matches you based on how you've answered a wide variety of questions. One of those questions was "Is Elon Musk crazy smart, or just crazy?". At least over 50% of peoples answers was "just crazy". So out of pure curiousity, I messaged every single person I found who answered "just crazy" and asked them in the most safe/non-judgemental way I could, why they thought he was just crazy. After not a single answer, I even changed my question to sound like I agreed with them but that I was just curious for their reason for thinking he's crazy. Still, not one answer.
What the hell.
The obvious answer now is "He supports nazis!" or something, due to his changes to Twitter.. But I was asking these questions before he made the purchase. Either way.... Imagine hating someone for such a childish reason, when they're literally trying to safe the human race lol.
@whatNtarnation90 I've also been cruising the online dating apps semi-recently as a guy who grew up getting dates by talking to women in public without getting some kind of extreme feminist lecture. The dating scene went full potato after Trump got elected, and they started hypnotizing women and kids through social media. I've figured out the easiest way to sort through the far leftist virtue signalers without sparking some absurd political debate I have no interest in having is to ask one simple question. "What do you think of Elon Musk". The answer to that question will tell you everything you need to know in regards to how hypnotized they really are by all the online propaganda
Bravo Elon! I hated scool because I feel stupid, not understanding what to use the knowledge for. Today I have been studying several interesting topics 😊
Sitting is a classroom is pure hell for those of us with adhd who learn better by hands on experiences
Elon:"...and this is based on physics!"
Kids:" excuse me sir, what is peesiks?"
dont you think if they didnt understand the basics of the most integral part of the conversation he would have started at the first principles on the first day, considering that is the entire curriculum lol, thats like saying you cant teach something to somone if they dont understand it completely before you start teaching them.... uhhh...
So you mean to say he already taughts them basic math and basic physics? I doubt. He always talks about learning by doing. This is not structural nor coherent way of educating, because it does not include deduction from basic theoretical level.@@kalenlarsen
The current education system is trash. This kind of schooling would be a huge improvement.
indeed, but it'll prolly never happen given how people react in the comments :P.
@@snuffeldjuret no wonder maturity of people don't have critical thinking as someone who has experienced Indian education system which honestly looks like a slave factory..
I agree
Humans that think there's a solution of our current educational system are delusional, ignorant and uneducated.
Because our current educational system follows much better theories of teaching than Elon could imagine and most people have 0 clue about.
There are thousands of doctors, professors, scientists etc. developing the best possible teaching system and curriculum for many decades, wtf do you guys think?
The issue lays that its simply sociologically not possible to implement these ideas and wishes on a wide basis.
There's a lack of finances, resources and personnel.
I don't think kids at this age have even grasped what the word "principle" means. Elon is projecting the smallest minority of genius/gifted kids with abnormally higher IQ on the average kids in school. This plan will NEVER work, it's like expecting everyone else to be like Elon Musk.
I don't like when Elon assumes that "A says something is impossible, therefore B must also say it's impossible" is a faulty basis for problem solving.
Our reality has proven that it is impossible to have everyone move like Elon Musk, therefore no one else can say that it's possible, because it just is, quite frankly, IMPOSSIBLE. There's no workaround to that.
Super interesting...I had a great Czech professor in hydraulics...he battled for over a year to get me to think fundamentally (!) Eventually it happened.. changed my life!

Now that's what I call a teacher.
Kudos to you teacher.
Btw what are you doing now?
@@athought6147 Engineer semi retired ... Many things/ places. Fundamental thinking so necessary in tackling challenges 🙂
I love that he just talks to them like adults, and that they give them adult problems to solve. One of the most valuable things about youth is the creative and imaginative mindset that hasn't yet been wrangled, subdued, caged and standardized by the public school system.
You clearly know nothing about teaching young children, just like Elon.
What a strategy of Elon musk to get new ideas,to create and discover new.
What he actually wants is more people working for him, same as any other rich person. I don't see any "revolutionary" sh!t on anything he is doing like everyone is saying in the comments. For me, he is trying more ways to improve his industries and get even more rich. Fan people is so naive to think he is some kind of missionary. He is just another rich man interested in his own stuff (nothing bad on that).
@@ieorlich
Elon is driven by the desire to solve problems and make the world better. He certainly is not driven by a desire for wealth. Getting some future adults on the path to becoming excellent problem .solvers means that we will stand a better chance of fixing new problems that arise.

Leaving your likes at 69
dont be surprised if they do. if u speak to children like children, they will learn at the rate at which you think children should be learning at. i.e. your limitations are their's.
@@gecn9685 I am glad someone understands that. It is why i was popular with kids when i was in a charter school since i traveled to school with bus which had students of all ages that coule communicate with eachother but instead people seperated themselves by age. I treated kids like thier like anyone else which made me come off across as not treating them as below me. I treated everyone who could commuicate good as normal. I was a student btw not a teacher and i understood that logic you know easily without a teacher.
@@darkmoon2744 yes. people who no clue how quickly children can pick up things. they can absorb complex topics like a sponge without the mental barrier most adults have.
This is fabulous. I want the American public school system to come back. It is harming kids in so many ways and holding our country back. This right here is what we need.
I like how your ad is at the end! I will actually visit your link
We need all his lectures on youtube please
We would be so damn smart if he really did
Poor kids, a school instrumental to Elon’s ego and companies instead to their own education and culture
Not be bond of authorities that only teach you to obey and listen to their instructions.
I've mostly been educated on computers and toys. I had a plastic computer that I carried around, and I learned basic math on that. I spent all summer on "Read, Write, and Type." It would not have taken a normal child as long as it did me. We are considered waste in the classrooms and get passed along. You can't fail some kids, which is stupid but yes. Many of us go on to interesting ends. Corey Johnson should be a hero by American standards.
Thank you for sharing these courses!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
The public education system in this country is broken and has been for a long time. We need major reform to stay relevant in the world technology industry.
A teacher saying “efficaceous” rather than “efficient”, lol. Says it all really
Great content. Impressive exclusive footage. Please add more episodes and perhaps some in person interviews of current and former students. Also, a dedicated in-depth or long-form demo of Brilliant itself will also be interesting. Thanks again.
So everyone that works at Starbase in Texas has the opportunity to live in an upscale trailer park? COOL. That's dedication right there!
He's going to change the world, one small step, (and many giant steps), at a time
I recall Jack Ma talking in his videos for entrepreneurs about requiring his creative teams to think outside the box. If he had an idea that was rejected as impractical or something, he would pursue it. He would actually reject ideas that were popular with his employees. He wanted to stay ahead of competitors that tended to all do the same thing.
Not evryone becomes an engineer, in my opinion school lets you discover what do you want to do in your life. Higher education is were you go for the subject you are most interested in. But to be fair the different subjects in school could be given in a beter way
The fact he asked if they had working knowledge of the topic was beautiful
why?
I remember being taught what critical thinking is and seeing my teacher failing to get across what it actually is and make us students understand. They would give examples of what it is and not explain how to do it ourselves. We copied how these sentences worked and made essays, and they wondered why most of my classmates got low scores. I got the gist of it but never used it until later in life.
It's insane that "critical thinking" is even a term that needs describing.
As someone who can credit a massive portion of what I can do now to the extracurricular activities I did in middle and high school - namely robot design competitions - I can attest that getting the kids to develop their brain as much as possible with useful skills as young as possible is extremely important. You learn much more slowly as you get older, so the more you can get right at a young age, the better. It's the same with computer programmers. The best ones are the ones who started when they were 10.
This was very amusing to read as someone who is at the top of their cohort in a computer science program at the age of 36 and I've only been learning for two years. I run circles around kids and have a way easier time grasping programming topics and do so at an exponentially faster rate than most of these above average IQ 20-sometings (thank you genetics). To be fair, there is a kernel of truth to your sentiment, but that idea is a bit outdated and rooted in tons of faulty neuroscience that you see mostly from pop psych articles. It's true that older people tend to be more rigid in their thinking, but it is far from being the barrier that you seem to think it is. I outperform almost every single young person I meet, and a large part of that is due to the wisdom I've gained from age. Hell, even if you look at this from an IQ perspective, very little performance is lost until you are in your 60s or older. New data is showing more and more that the decline is negligible for the majority of our lives provided you take care of yourself. The real issue is rigid thinking, and hilariously, your comment is a perfect example of that. The true roadblock. I guess I'd expect nothing less from someone seeking out Elon Musk videos on youtube with a cringe doge pfp. Yikes. Stay mediocre kids. I'm going to change the fucking world. Look up the CAIT intelligence test. I scored a 153 and smoked all the kids on the r/cognitivetesting subreddit at the things people associate with youth (speed and working memory). Age has nothing on the truly gifted with a plan and a drive. I bet you believe in "the 10,000 hour rule" and other such nonsense as well.
What we call education today was well suited for the people from the 1st industrial revolution. Today we have totally different challenges and working stiles that require a different/holistic approach to education
💯%right bro
They're looking for pushover corporate drones, hope the next generations that will succeed the old will not be sociopathic that will continue this dystopian shenanigans of the current.
@@inamoka12345 Why are you so pessimistic? We still get doctors, engineers and scientists coming out of the school system. Are these corporate drones?
I like how he has kids working on problems his company faces.
People still haven't stopped hero-worshiping this guy?
Hopefully he is not teaching the children what he is best at. Scamming investors and bankrupting the companies
Spot on
Here’s a First Principle: Don’t lie about “FSD”. Tesla FSD is still running lights and randomly breaking in moving traffic.
Seriously.. Musk always brings up “first principals” when he wants to impress investors.. it’s the only engineering concept he ever mentions or seems to know.. and it would seem most Space X employees agree, otherwise there’d be a lot more students in that school
Hope for the children - My children, too. What a blessing to my daughters in the teaching profession, and hope for REMO to survive!
This type of education is basically what they teach at many, but not all, academically inclined military academies around the world. But because it's not Elon Musk or Silicon Valley, and because people can't use critical thinking with regards to war, many (but not all) look down on education in military academies.
I remember in grade school I had a science project coming up in the day of the science project my dad took a evaporator put a hose on it put it into a mason jar covered it with Saran wrap put rubber bands around it and I took it to school and drew a vacuum.❤❤❤
Fixing the education system is some low hanging fruit. The current system is absolutely broken.

And how would these kids evaluate "a better design" without first learning the principles of mathematics and laws of physics and computer skills? This is education made for the TV camera, but not the kids.
Omg I watched this in my early years as my husband stayed up for days to write a graphic user interface from the mainframe to the stand alone. To watch such such agony in his head. Trying to get it out and write it. For days. I reminded him. You can You can. I love the freedom of such a beautiful mind to be and has its place Huch god intended
Knowing is easy being able to impart knowledge to others in a format they can absorb and understand is hard ...good luck to him!
yeh. being a teacher/tutor really is an art and science
"first principals"... I didn't know they had a name for this. I have been doing this since I was a little girl....
Pretty cool.
This is great! Makes me have a different perspective on him as a person. I hope we can see the school system change to teach history just as it happened and sciemce and math in entertaining ways, where kids can follow what they are passionate about in that moment. The teachers jobs would be to answer questions in advanced detail and teach to each childs goal. If we want a society full of specialized jobs and people, we shouldnts try to standardize "common core" everything. I also think critically thinking and logical reasoning should be taught repeatedly as the frontal cortex is forming. The future i want is one where we start caring more about the bottom of society and trying to raise the floor and rebuild a strong and healthy middle class by reducing wealth inequality. Is it moral to have multiple billions of dollars especially invested in appreciating assets? (I do think elon in trying to fight the good fight. Its cool for people to understand its all about the next generation, but what about not just the private school kids?
I thought he works 100 hour weeks and always sleeps in the office? How does he have time to post hundreds of comments on Twitter, read hundreds of books a year, fly all over the world, and teach classes at his house?
Because he doesn't do all those things at the same time of year. EXCEPT in a crisis, a CEO's job can be pretty chill I'm sure.
Impressive,I like that way of learning.
Good. Teachers should be someone who have achieve something in life❤️
imagine going up to a group of kids and asking them "have you heard of the first principles analysis" like bro no kid knows this
These kids are luckiest kids in the entire world
I'm pretty sure that they won't even remember an encounter with Elon Musk.
I love this idea so much! Can’t wait to see the future updates. Big fan!
First school closed, next one is likely to have a similar fate since Elon knows jack crap about teaching children or how people learn.
Elon’s kids: how would you build a supercharger network in Argentina?
My kids: what is “an Argentina”?
He’s teaching kids to work for him
Elon is a great teacher. I have thought about educational systems for a long time as well. We are lucky to have Elon in our lifetimes. He is a big thinker and applies sound principles to his ideas. I like it!
Even when talking to young children, Mr. Musk didn’t dumb down his vocabulary or concepts, impressive!

Building a new generation of change makers. Kids who don't believe that the way things have always worked is how they should work. And having the confidence to change those things, no matter how massive the challenge

Sounds cool in a 10 minute clip. Can't imagine it will work for long term learning for a broad range of topics. School systems are not that bad....
they are horrible
idk if this will work but the current school system ain't working anyway
@@clarki2954my kids’ school is great. Regular public school, the teachers are doing a great job. I suspect most people who hate on schools (1) don’t actually have kids in school; and (2) get all their info about what schools are like from Tucker Carlson.
The fact that the school is in Gene Wilder's (Willy Wonka's) former house, makes it look like they're training the next Oompa Loompas for Space X / Tesla
He's raising more Elon-esque type of personalities, so that one day, space tech is a common sense, that anyone has.
I think we ought to think like Elon if we are ready to accept a future of abundance.
Star Trek "matter replicators", day one.
"Thinking like " is never a good idea, and doesn't really lead to new things and to improvement. What Elon proposes in terms of education, which is not new either, is precisely the opposite. Don't think like others. Don't say "can't be done" because somebody else said so.
So, definitely don't think like Elon. Learn and listen to him as you learn from and listen to others, then think for yourself.
Generally, elon-esque personalities don't play well with others that are alike. That's why, if you look at some of Elon's closest colaborators, like Gwynne, they're quite different from him. A team works when you have different people with different opinions, not when you have clones.
We need that, school education is a waste of time and potential for neurodivergents
@@davidrojas4687 yeah most innovation seekers also happen to have "rebel" personality, or (E/I)NTP according to Myer-Briggs. Cant adapt to the norm; won't adapt to the norm; system builders.
LABELS
I personally would be careful about labels though. Terms like:
1. divergents, separatists, rebels, drop-outs
2. critics, opposition, "the resistance"
3. smart prefixes "un" or "under" (as in undergrad), "non" (as in non-believers or non-compliance), "off" (as in off-grid, offline as if to suggest that being offline is a crime.)
and other similar words are part of a bigger propaganda/agenda. It feels as if there is a dedicated team of word-makers whose entire job is to induce panic using Smart-Repulsive Labels as a tactic.
In my animations, I try to use friendlier terms in my narration. We should start better replacements for these word vomits.
@@clusterstage we dont exist, hows that, we need education for the humans
School is all about grades than it is about learning. The way people get grades in school also is focused on how well you guessed what would appear in test and exams before sitting for it and to forget about 70 or 80 percent of what you just studied after 3 months.
So pretty much like what I was doing instead of paying attention in class when I was at school.
This is only possible if you have nice kids from families that are functional. The problem with public schools is it’s filled with kids from families that don’t care about education.
I’m a software developer but had challenges with advanced math since secondary. I’ve been using Brilliant and I luv it. Brilliant is awesome.

This video is so valuable!! Greak work!
I appreciate the funding put into his kwn education especially with how degraded America's education system got
In my opinion, this method of teaching is far more important than space x, tesla, neural link, open ai and everything else that musk has built or is part of.
Why wouldn't the side panels of the returning rocket flip out in two segments and propeller down to decrease descending speed. Less rocket booster requirement. Centrifugal force inertia reduces gravitational pull.

When a ghost disappears , it reminds me of a nuke going off
that's cool! hope the education system changes for the better through schools like this, keeping the present system just as a base.
Basically college in elementary school
If you don’t know the basic how can you learn the rest. Schools tend to skip and just think kids should know without simplifying things to the basic.
Now you will be soooo happy with these angles and they eager to listen and challenging you . Wonderful it's my opinion.
I like this way of teaching. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
