I don't know if I will 100% agree with that statement in the sense of this was created by design.
I think... Well, the school system in America, it certainly was created by design. Yeah, but... The idea of sitting people down, especially young kids, for eight hours a day is a ridiculous idea.

But the schools and education go way beyond America and go back in time. There was always an interest for... writing and teaching and sharing knowledge. And obviously the very few lucky ones, centuries and centuries ago, were the ones that were able to acquire that knowledge.

Yes, but I think starting people off at five years old and sitting them in classes all day, that's relatively new in human history. This is what I'm talking about, this sitting people in classrooms all day as children. This is relatively new in human history. This is not something that people did hundreds and hundreds of years ago.

When you think about all the great scholars of the past, yes, they certainly learned in school. They didn't do it the way they're doing it today.

I'm not an expert on that front, but I can tell you when my daughters began going to school, my wife decided to take them to Montessori school. That's where everybody's in the same grade, right? Very much. But the type of learning and the type of teaching and the method of Montessori, I was fascinated by.

I was so fascinated that I almost felt like as a dad, I had to go to a school to learn the Montessori system myself because I thought it was great. I thought it was giving my daughters a great framework to understand how to be themselves, how to grow, how to organize themselves, giving them the freedom to become the young woman they are becoming.

So for me, just watching them going through, when they were four or five, going to Montessori, I thought that was amazing because I saw little human beings that they were far away smarter, I think, than when I was at their same age. Was not a system of education that was used guiding them like cows or like horses when they put, how do you call this thing? The blinders? No, it was the contrary.
