   Many people talk about 10x engineers, but nobody talks about 10x education.

   I'm still wondering why we don't have state-sponsored education material comparable to the videos made by 3blue1brown (youtuber).

   Any welfare state should invest in people making good educational material. And that material should be availabile to everyone, for free.

   When studying an hard topic, a good explanation is better than 1000 bad explanations.

   For real, even economically, i think that would be a huge long-term investment, for the entire world.

     @ranfdev Or Technology Connections? Or Ben Eater?

     I love learning from them!

     @wizzwizz4 @ranfdev So bad metrics is the problem? Typical.

     @ranfdev We do, in places. But:

     • It's always teaching to exams; unlike 3b1b, which follows interesting topics.
     • The funding goes away before they get through even their original curriculum.

     @alcinnz @ranfdev Wonder whether, in the absence of state-sponsored material, we could curate our own library of what the volunteers have made?

     Or, better still, if anyone knows of anyone who's already done this?
