School Will Waste Your Life!

Dave Rubin of The Rubin Report has a fun discussion with Greg Gutfeld, TV Host of The Five, author and comedian. They discuss how to educate yourself, why conservatives tend to be happy and the mental health of the Portland protesters. Greg is promoting his new book, The Plus, a self-help book for people who hate self-help. Greg talks about how Gen Z should be using quarantine to focus on self-learning. He makes the case that learning how to educate yourself might be one the best things you can do during this time.

Greg sees our current educational system as wasting vast amounts of people’s time. He thinks most people would be better off coming up with their own personal development plan and creating their own curriculum. Why not learn biology from listening to Bret Weinstein, or philosophy from Jordan Peterson? Greg shares how he has lost 40 pounds under quarantine despite not being able to regularly go to the gym and how you can use quarantine to focus on self-improvement and teach yourself how to adapt to this new world.

Mike also discusses the damage done by the government putting us into categories of essential and non-essential workers. He criticizes politicians and others who devalue work and see it as just something we do for a paycheck. Mike thinks this demeaning of how people make a living overlooks the sense of purpose we get through our jobs.

He thinks the pandemic has already revealed college and higher education to be an overpriced luxury credentialing system. He hopes that this will cause us to rethink how we structure education in the US.
