Gradient Proof Podcast
Episode 4 - Part 1
In part one of today’s episode of the Gradient Proof Podcast, Roy Peer and Steven W Sorensen discuss the 2018 book, The Case Against Education by Bryan Caplan. They explored the idea that education is more of a signaling activity for employers than a way to learn skills, and questioned whether spending four to six additional years on a graduate degree is worth the cost. The speakers also discussed the potential for AI to improve education through personalized learning and memory reinforcement, but acknowledged the challenges of implementing such a system on a large scale. They suggested that gamification can be a useful motivator in education and that reinforcement learning within the paradigm of AI can help individuals become better optimized or educated components that are symbiotic extensions of the machine. The podcast also touched on the fear that AI will eventually remove the need for people to make a living and the importance of educating society to match the future progression of these things. Overall, the podcast highlights the potential of technology and gamification in education and the importance of staying up to date with the latest developments.

Standout Quotes:
“Is the classroom itself the best environment to learn how to work?” [7:01]
“Throughout one's career IQ does increase through education more generally… the highest IQ a student will have will kind of be in the midst of that education, but [studies show] 18 to 24 months later these studies show [IQ gains] statistically diminish” [26:25]
“By changing your environment you’re almost telling your brain you no longer need that data” [31:08]
