15000 hours: How to Take Control of Your Life and Build the Future
2 likes693 views
This document discusses deschooling and the impact of traditional schooling. It argues that schooling teaches lessons like confusion, class positioning, and emotional/intellectual dependence through monopolizing 15,000 hours of a person's life. However, schooling does not equal education. The document advocates pursuing passions, defining identity beyond academics/career, learning how value is created, and taking control of one's own learning through entrepreneurial thinking. It suggests parenting, homeschooling, and alternative schools as ways to deschool society by creating new learning paths.

- 20. PeterThiel, Zero to One Inde鍖nite attitudes to the future explain whats most dysfunctional in our world today. Process trumps substance: when people lack concrete plans to carry out, they use formal rules to assemble a portfolio of various options.This describes Americans today. In middle school, were encouraged to start hoarding extracurricular activities. In high school, ambitious students compete even harder to appear omnicompetent. By the time a student gets to college, hes spent a decade curating a bewilderingly diverse r辿sum辿 to prepare for a completely unknowable future. Come what may, hes readyfor nothing in particular.
