Peter Thiel’s views on the future/independent colony off of CA

I’ve discussed the evolving face of education before in earlier posts, but I guess I’m just so fascinated with the way our future is changing as a result of technology that I keep reading more about the topic.  And the change will have a massive effect on our children’s academic endeavors, their careers, and where they choose to live just to name a few.  Remember the cartoon, “The Jetsons”?  Is that where we’re headed?  Will our kids even bother with the old school college model if they can harness their interests and turn them into careers?  Are those running the elite, competitive universities cringing with the changes that are taking place or are they embracing them? So interesting..
