all the you know the hardcore engineering and science uh computer science concepts that they're covering and all the applied stuff so we built our curriculum based on that we're like trying to be as rigorous as possible we we think that we can be there's no reason why we can't be much more rigorous than an mit because they only have four years right like if you actually went through and earned all four of these free co-camp certifications it might represent 12 or 15 years of expenditure but like if you're like me and you just insist on learning like that's what the

That's one thing, if I can talk about myself a little bit, like I am obsessed with learning. I want to unlock. I want to die with a fully unlocked skill tree. If I'm not learning about programming and technology, I'm studying foreign languages, I'm learning musical instruments, I'm trying to learn more about other world cultures and traveling to different places and talking with people.

I'm just obsessed with knowing as much as there can be known. Back in Ben Franklin's time, you could, in theory, know everything there was to know. You could read all the books, you could talk to all the important people and correspond with them through letters, and you could have this kind of

Life of mind where you felt that you had a pretty good understanding of this corporeal world that we're walking around. The surface that we're all anchored to, right? This prison in space that we're never escaping unless we figure out wormholes, right? There was a time when you could know all that stuff, but there's just been this combinatorial explosion of stuff to know.

And I feel like it's this great challenge, this endeavor. The universe is taunting me with how much it has for me to learn. And I feel obsessed with learning it.

I think that that's what like vast majority of people in the free cooking curriculum, like I suspect that we're all kindred spirits and we all love learning. At the end of the day, yes, we need to put food on the table. We need to get skills that pay the bills, right? But we also love the process of learning and we don't look at it as a labor. We look at it as kind of like a pursuit of joy. Yeah.

So I think that describes a lot of the human condition. I think humans are naturally curious and they naturally, when they reach the top of one peak, they look around, they see a higher peak. They want to get there. You know, I think that's just how human ambition works. And a lot of people feel human ambition in terms of accumulating resources. Right. Making sure that they have like, you know,

I liken wealth to like a water tower. It's good to have a water tower there in case we lose power, in case something really bad happens, the town still has water. But at some point, there's diminishing marginal returns to having a whole lot of water towers, right? How many water towers does the town really need, right? But yet you have billionaires who still want to acquire more and more.

And I feel like they're in this kind of like impoverished doom loop of just maximizing resources when what they could be maximizing is knowledge.

and a human experience so uh yeah anyway i'll get off my soapbox but but like that that is what really fires me up and what drives me is the prospect of being able to have the world's most rigorous curriculum and at the same time the most accessible curriculum that's free that runs right in a browser or in a mobile app we've got these great flutter powered mobile apps where you can learn
