A place to follow your passions and find support on [[The pathless path]] ## Manifesto https://buildspace.so/hyper education isn’t just the skills you learn — it’s the system itself. it’s the path you can climb towards something greater, it’s the people you meet along the way on the shared struggle, and it’s the promise that if you go through the system you’ll come out the other side better able to navigate this world and pursue your goals. and today, we believe existing education systems aren’t fulfilling that promise. too often now i see — teenagers become nothing more than exam machines, college new-grads struggling to find jobs, adults grinding through useless certificates in the hopes of a better future, my own friends with amazing ideas who continue to sit at jobs they hate or continue getting depressed searching for a path forward. it’s tough… today, the modern education system of higher-ed (college, bootcamp, etc) -> workforce is the system that has the most successful data points. so it’s the system that everyone flocks to. and look — if the system actually worked we’d be cool. but it doesn’t. our vision is to build an alternate system — a system for the people that wish to navigate the world by building things they love and pursuing what they’re passionate about. you can argue this is a far-fetched, flowery reality but we’re already seeing it happen. there are a lot more data points or stories that you can look at now. people earning money on the internet, content creators, small d2c businesses, indie hackers…the list goes on and on. it’s our belief that over the next 10 years, more and more people will venture out into this unknown and just do shit that they love — and the barrier to entry will go down overtime as well. we’ll do our part this by giving these people a home to work on their ideas and shedding more light on what outcomes are possible through our stories, content and everything in between. after all — i want to live in a world where we have the next fred again, the next miyazaki, the next jk rowling. also, “pursuing your passion” doesn’t necessarily mean you gotta start your own thing. for example, if someone loves robotics, hacks together some side-projects in nights & weekends, and ends up getting hired by a local robotics company they love — that’s success. after all, in a world where ai is making it simpler than ever for anyone to learn anything and create whatever it is they want to create — it is those that can actually use the tools and actually build things for the real world who will be the most sought after and most equipped. we’re simply building an alternate path.
