EP176 [全英] 在AI时代，大学还值得读吗？也许我们一直都问错了问题

AI 让知识变得便宜，但教育真正的价值，也许从来都不是知识。

I want to start today’s episode with a question that has probably crossed the minds of millions of people around the world.

Is college still worth it?

Now, I feel like this question is everywhere these days.

Scroll through YouTube, Reddit, or social media, and you’ll probably come across someone saying, “College is a waste of money.” Someone else will tell you that AI is replacing everything anyway. Then another person says you can learn anything online for free. Why spend years in school when you have YouTube, online courses, podcasts, and now AI?

And honestly, I understand why people are asking this question.

Think about the world we live in today. If you want to learn coding, there are thousands of free tutorials online. If you want to learn marketing, finance, psychology, or even philosophy, you can find lectures from some of the world’s best universities with just a few clicks. And if you’re stuck on something, AI can explain it to you in seconds.

Knowledge has never been more accessible.

At the same time, education has never been more expensive.

In many countries, tuition continues to rise every year. Student debt has become a serious issue. Parents are wondering whether it’s still worth making such a huge investment. Students are wondering if a degree is still the best path to success.

It’s a fair question.

In fact, I think it’s one of the most important questions young people are asking today.
