Interesting insights on how college can and cannot prepare kids for life in the age of automation. One of the things that does not get mentioned here the preparation that needs to begin much earlier in life to prevent disintermediation by way of robotic automation. College is already too late. It seems like there is needs to be deliberate separation of children from devices and internet to allow space and quiet for thought and expression; individually and together with others.
A significant part of a child's life needs to be experienced off-grid - to acquire the abilities needed to keep themselves relevant in a world where a lot can and will be automated. That and the focus on reading classics from a young age, solving problems from first principles - almost a way to simulate the way of learning from hundreds of years ago. When that is combined with understanding of modern technology, maybe we will have the best of both worlds, create value that was not possible to before.
