In a recent Cormac McCarthy interview he made a couple comments on classical education and how that has been lost in the western world. The conversation took this turn while they were discussing geniuses in the realm of physics. The interviewer asks Cormac why thinkers like Oppenheimer and Einstein seem to be extinct now. After the clip, I dive into a discussion about the collapse of classical education, the state of education right now, and the path forward to restoring classical education. This was taken from Cormac McCarthy's 2022 interview with the Santa Fe Institute.
