FAF: How to combat the inefficiencies of formal education with Christian Bell

This week I brought a special guest on - my second cousin
Christian Bell. It was an absolute pleasure to chat with him. He
has uniquely varied experiences in formal education, Ivy League
schools, government, and small business that provide well-rounded
perspectives on the pros and cons of each. 


We chat about:


Ineffectiveness of government and lack of incentive

Checking the appropriate boxes to get into Ivy League schools

Christian's experience at various Ivy League schools (Oxford,
Yale etc.)

Education doesn't foster curiosity, most of the time it even
beats it out of you.

How important are the "regular" school subjects, for example
history? Should you take the time to learn it even though you may
never use it again? Or should you only invest your time into your
natural curiosities? Or both?

Is a degree in business necessary to start your own business?

If you are going to college - be intentional!

Free college only serves to lower the overall value of a
college degree.
