School & Education is one of GritCult's most consistent themes, present in every year of the archive. Formal schooling and universities, in his account, confuse credentials with learning, load students with debt and ideology, and are about to be made obsolete. What he wants instead is self-directed, obsessive study, now accelerated by AI tutors and homeschooling.
Views
The foundation is a distinction he states in a single line: "Good at school =/= good at learning" [1]. School, in this view, trains people to perform well inside a format, while real learning comes from curiosity, problems worth solving and learning by doing. The largest share of his posts on the subject date from 2018 (418 of 1,033), when the tone was reformist, with proposals for a free market in teaching and universities run more like the old guilds. From 2019 onwards the tone turns abolitionist, and schools become a relic to be torn down rather than repaired.
The money and the ideology get the harshest treatment. He calls it the education industrial complex, "indentured debt slavery and an ideology prison" [2], and in 2021 he repeatedly mocked anyone weighing a master's degree while others were building multi-billion-dollar coins. Credentials themselves are dismissed with an appeal to hiring: having sat in over 200 interviews and interviewed over 500 people, he concludes that "No one cares about your degree" [3], a line he posted at least four times across 2021 and 2022. The degree survives in his thinking only as a signal, never as proof that anything was learned.
The arrival of AI turned critique into prophecy. "Is there even a point of going to school anymore" [4] became one of his most shared posts on the theme in 2023, and within months he was arguing that teachers are an outdated job that has become a net negative to society, and that the aim should be to make every teacher jobless [5]. Yet his single most shared post on the subject is admiring: a high school history teacher who "had no views and no subscribers a few days ago" until his predictions found a huge audience [6]. What impresses him there is a teacher who called events correctly and built a following outside the classroom, which sits awkwardly beside his call to make every teacher jobless.
What replaces school is a mix of technology and temperament. In 2024 he was openly excited about homeschooling, claiming that AI-assisted homeschooling was already better than school outcomes and treating it as a reason to have children sooner [7]. The deeper model is the autodidact. The people who actually win are "obsessive students of the game" who refuse to stay in their lane and study everything: psychology, philosophy, art, business, the body and the mind [8]. Education, on this account, does not end when school does. For most people, he complains, that is exactly when it stops.
Recurring themes
- school performance versus real learning
- credentials as an empty signal
- the education industrial complex as debt and ideology
- AI as the end of the teacher
- homeschooling and AI tutors as the replacement
- the obsessive autodidact
