The purpose of formal education must be, among other things, to make you aware of how much you don’t know.
To give you enough of a flavour of every subject to hook you for life, to spark your curiosity, to awaken a lifelong hunger for knowledge.
For once the hunger takes hold, you’ll spend the rest of your life learning.
This was always true, but in the age of AI it is doubly so. When every answer is a prompt away, the defining characteristic is not a know-it-all accumulation of knowledge, but a burning curiosity to understand.
