Some people seem to think that "higher education" is the only way one ever gets exposed to great literature, art, philosophy, psychology & science.

Now we have the internet, we can access all of those things from home, for free https://twitter.com/LightHardDead/status/1274165099834507265?s=20

If you want to learn about rationality and cognitive biases from one of the world's greatest psychologists working at Harvard, guess what? You can, for free: https://stevenpinker.com/classes/rationality-gened-1066/materials/rationality-gened-1066-lectures

If you want an intro into human behavioural biology from one of the world's greatest biologists--who teaches at Stanford-- you can have it for free

You want to learn about the ancient world from one of the greatest living humanities and arts scholars? Guess what, you can, for free

One of the reasons why @jordanbpeterson is so popular is because he puts his *entire courses* online, for people to watch, for free. And his lectures don't just cover psychology, you get history, religion, culture & art all rolled in

Academics who want taxpayers and students to pay through the nose to access their *special knowledge* remind me of the priests who kept reading their sermons in Latin after the printing press had come along.
