Thanks for posting Rebecca. I wrote this article. Anyone got questions or feedback? Also, does anyone know if people are doing systems-level modeling on this at the moment?

You could look at https://edeeu.education/subject/mathematics
You make very good points. The simple fact is that claiming you can transition from being uneducated to educated in any field or in general in a few months watching youtube videos is absurd. People who claim such a thing is possible are claiming something on the scale of an educational space elevator.
There are however alternatives to traditional college that are effective. One example is EDeeU Education (https://edeeu.education). There you can study with people like Clemens Ley (https://edeeu.education/director/clemensley) an Oxford PhD in theoretical computer science and now blockchain entrepreneur. You work through a detailed curriculum over a number of years. It's not the same as traditional college, but for people who are working or have a family and might want more flexibility of schedule, it's a good thing to look at.
Maybe Facebook should convert into a Benefit Corporation. There's a petition for this here: https://www.change.org/p/mark-zuckerberg-convert-facebook-in...
I've posted a full undergraduate curriculum based on free resources here:

I'm also accepting students. See the website for how that works. It's a lot of fun!
