Professor Thrun Drops Out of Stanford
“
As we move into the future, knowledge becomes less attached to intuitions. When the printing press came along, knowledge was freed from the depths of the human mind and reproduced on a page. Then came libraries, which allowed anyone to access that knowledge. Wikipedia now puts vast amounts of knowledge online.
Wherever it is found, that knowledge can usually be traced to a source. That source is most often a person associated with an institution—the United States Government, or Harvard University, for example. Rarely does a person stand as their own authority without using an institution as validation.
This is one reason why change has been so slow in higher education—professors are still tying themselves to intuitions.
Until now.
