I think it’s a worthy cause but I think the real issue is the majority of people aren’t really that interested in learning at all. There are tons of material on the internet on anything we could learn about but most people prefer to waste their time on facebook, social media and quarreling. Some of these instructional materials are even offered by top universities on youtube, for example:
Most people lean towards unproductive leisure activities and detest putting any effort into studying. That’s why usually the most viral videos are stupid or silly things. That is unlikely to change no matter how accessible education becomes; people will have to change their mindset first. Simply put, those who value knowledge will seek it and those who don’t will not; not even when you spoon-feed it to them.
Also in my opinion, real education isn’t about having a piece of paper that says you’re educated. I find that some of the most knowledgeable people are those who are genuinely passionate about a particular subject and have learned through experience.
