Guide to the 21st Century is a 4-week online general-ed program with an 8 course curriculum, a book, and a community of learners.
Collectively covering an introduction to essential topics for life today, a series of self-analysis writing programs, and a pedagogy that makes learning easy.
We believe every person must have a foundational knowledge base to succeed in life.
We thought school would provide us with one... it didn’t. Consequently, we decided to make one ourselves.
It turned out to be better than expected, so we decided to share it with the world.
It’s all online. You can do it anywhere.
You can begin as soon as you enroll, or later -- you get lifetime access.
BUT, you must decide to start. If even 1% of you doesn’t want to do it, then don’t. Better to wait until you‘re ready.
Watch the videos, answer the questions, trust the process, and see the world with new eyes.
If you’re really ambitious, you can go through the material in less than a week.
It’s designed for new High School grads.
We made it as a High School graduation gift because we wish we had it then.
However, it can be incredibly powerful for anyone alive today.
A series of self-analysis writing programs.
Here, you will reflect on your past, analyze your present, and simulate your future.
We ask questions, you simply answer. No deadline. No grades. No nonsense.
You write what and how much you like.
The only rule: You must write.
Considering the future always holds a strong resemblance to the past, it’s crucial to know where we’ve come from if we wish to get to where we want to go.
So, here we cover everything from the birth of the Universe to the happenings of the distant future.
The course that never came.
Learn about the true nature of money, taxes, assets, liabilities, debt and all the other financial fundamentals that you cannot live without.
Money dictates our lives and it is deemed not worthy to be part of the education system?
Technology is intertwined with our lives and the bond will only strengthen as we move into the future.
Therefore, it’s critical to understand it such that you may enhance yourself rather than be enslaved by it.
So, here we cover fake news identification, digital ripple-effects, exponential innovation, and all things Technology Literacy.
In a world rapidly evolving, your internal world -- the mind -- must be in a state of balance if becoming the victim is to be avoided; this helps in all facets of life.
We believe an understanding of the science behind human emotion and the human mind is the solution. In other words, Emotional Intelligence and Psychology.
Information is everywhere. With it, complexity.
And it’s precisely our inability to understand complexity that prevents us from making sense in life and, thus, any kind of progress.
So, here we will cover logical fallacies, compare different world-views, the unanswered questions of the universe, and so on. In other words, the true essence of Philosophy.
Having a winner’s mindset is key in the journey to success (regardless of your definition of it).
This course will provide a whole host of insight into the mentalities, philosophies, principles, and other approaches to life that were a common thread between all the greats that have graced the surface of this planet.
Politics defines the environment we live in.
It defines the rules within which we can pursue our hopes and dreams.
Need I say more?
Here, we definitely don’t give any political opinions, but provide a description of the political landscape, how it works, how it came to be, etc.
Yes! We got all our information from the same place as teachers from the world's best schools -- books and the internet. Also, we give you full access to the resources we used for each course so you can always double check for yourself. Lastly, this goes without saying, but please let us know if we made any mistake! We'll do the needful immediately.
We'll be the first to admit that all the information you get here exists somewhere or the other on the internet. After all, that's where we got it from. However, to take the free route, you'll have to figure out what, where, and how to learn. All which could easily take you more than 1 year; it took us 3. Our program covers what took us 3 years in one month.
Further, we made all our courses fun to watch. So, instead of having to read boring books and watching monotonous faces delivering monologue on screen, we added music, cool cinematography, and story. We aspire to be the Disney of education.
Lastly, our system of learning allows you to take notes without having to actually take notes. We just ask you questions throughout the courses, and at end we auto-compile everything and create a PDF document for you to download.
In sum, we're different from free online learning because:
(1) You wont have to figure out what, where, and how to learn
(2) You'll actually have fun watching the courses
(3) You won't have to take any notes to learn.
If you think it is expensive, I ask you what you think 1 year (at the least) of your time is worth.
Also, consider what you would do if some random stranger came up to you and said, 'hey man, let me teach you everything school should've taught you... I'll even do it for free'. You'd probably run away.
Why? Because no one values free information. As many before have found, the more invested you are, the more motivated you will be to complete the course, and thereby get most value. As Warren Buffet said, 'The best investment you can make is in yourself.'
At the end of the day, our main goal is to make vital education affordable without compromising on quality. Thus, to not only sustain but also improve our product, this was the lowest price that would make our growth plans a reality. Considering traditional education charge multiple $1000s per year, we think our program is more than affordable.
Your privacy and information's safety is our top priority. Further, our website is completely secure and your payment information never touches our servers.
No worries! We provide a 30-day full refund policy for students who have viewed less than 20% of the course.
We have had people exploit our refund policy in the past so we provide no exceptions to this rule. We hope you understand.
