A call to rethink education and natural curiosity.
Technology evolves exponentially.
Yet, school, it doesn't evolve.
Everything is measured by its degree of efficiency.
- What is the objective?
- How close am I to reaching it?
- At what speed?
- With what amount of effort?
So what is the objective of school?
To acquire knowledge and working methods.
What does school do to achieve this objective?
It provides content in a structured way.
What does this mean exactly?
- Classes: Content organized by discipline
- Assessments: Validation of knowledge acquisition
- Programs: Standardized progression for all
And what does this produce?
Standardized thinking.
Because if everyone follows the same program, everyone ends up thinking the same way.
But...
Technology evolves exponentially.
The problem is exponential:
- The gap between school and reality widens exponentially
- The lag in adapting teaching methods grows exponentially
- The obsolescence of knowledge accelerates exponentially
And the human brain?
It learns in a nonlinear way.
It learns through:
- Curiosity (not obligation)
- Connection (not isolation)
- Practice (not theory)
- Context (not abstraction)
The paradox:
We use linear methods to develop nonlinear thinking.
The solution:
We need to develop tools that:
- Respect the brain's natural functioning
- Leverage technology intelligently
- Promote genuine understanding
- Encourage curiosity
The future of education:
- Personalized (not standardized)
- Adaptive (not fixed)
- Interactive (not passive)
- Connected (not isolated)
This is our mission.
To build tools that adapt to humans, not humans who adapt to tools.
Because learning should be a journey of discovery, not a chore of endurance.
