      It is SO HARD to convince people to go to the library! Or to look at books in general... I work in Engineering education (labs, machine shop, welding, electronics), and so much of what I'm telling the students is stuff I just picked up on my own by reading, and of course watching UA-cam videos, but I mean hundreds and hundreds of them. So many times I get a technical question, and the reply is "we have whole books about that!".

      @James Bowles my brotha , congrats for realizing this, you are able to make your own decision and not listen to old farts who are there just to pass time , teach you bullshit that has no relation to real world and make money while doing that. it is said that millenial will be the first generation who will not force their kids go to college . the future is brighter the more young people open their eyes to the way the real world works.

    I agree, take the flying car out, but what he says on education is absolutely true. Today, many bright people has stopped thinking or solving real life problems; they are just busy cramming what's on the books a substitute for deep thinking and problem solving.

      I agree. Students should be taught logical thinking long before they enter college. Can they do it? Yes students could. Note how they find their way around smart phones. They might then see the moronic logic that AOC touts instead of blindly worshiping her and her Marxists ideology.

    Flying cars will lead to anxiety that something is going to fall on your head. For the rest of your life. Cars won't be found on the road, but everywhere. Accidents wouldn't be limited to roads, but could occur anywhere, anytime. It's basically undoable.

    Education is one of great business in Australia . High status parents pay for education. Many Chinese rich parents send their kids to Australia to buy House and share stock. You have to encourage them to come to visit to Australia in a great way. Because they help Australia develop.

    The part about education was thoughtful. The part about flying cars was stupid. (Instead of developing flying cars, how about concerning oneself with alternative fuel sources, or making cars more fuel efficient? The priorities seem very backward if you cherish being able to drive a car in the sky rather than being able to drive a car dependent on big oil.)

      it was just a tagline. Peter has made comments in other debates where he emphasized the importance of energy innovation. Besides, putting "flying cars" in your tagline is more catchy than say "renewable resources"

    Telling a 16 year old to pursue the college path is like telling them to inject themselves with hepatitis C. There is no excuse for this bad behavior.

      well, i mean if he bound for academic glory, why not ? we still need mathematicians or physicist and the child isn't going to learn it form sitting in the room. he needs access to labs and other bright kids.
      But i agree, probably 50% of 16 year olds shouldn't go to college. it's like that in Switzerland i believe.

      Master Mayne Catholic slave, I don't mean to be rude but, haven't you ever wondered why you believe in that religion? You believe, because your parents believed in it, have an open mind and think for yourself. (FYI I was born in a Catholic household, and thought for myself instead of blindly conforming to other's beliefs.)
