The Paradox of Online Learning
The Internet has brought us complete chaos of information. And sadly, the ever-expanding knowledge and increased accessibility are not as useful as we wish they would be because we only have a finite amount of time to make sense of them.
Search engine algorithms are not enough. Biased influencers are not enough. Well-intentioned word-of-mouth is not enough. The Internet is abundant with “what-to-do” advice. We already know we must eat more veggies and exercise more often. They are all good. But, when everyone is giving us good advice, how do we know what is good FOR YOU?
That's where paid online courses come in. In this age of commoditized goodness, what we truly seek is oneness and order. We need someone to tell us NOT “what” to do, but “which one” to do, and “in which order.” The void created by the oversupply can't be filled with giving us more. It can only be filled by someone who gives us less.
The less we pay, the more we get. The more we pay, the less we get.
For me, getting less is better.
And you?
