AI Tutors, 2-Hour Learning & The Future of Education | Rational Optimist #28
About this episode
In this episode of The Rational Optimist, we explore how AI tutors are revolutionizing education with remarkable results. See how Alpha School students learn 2.2X faster with just 2 hours of academics daily, kindergartners scoring in the top 1%, and how this technology isn't replacing teachers—it's empowering them. Plus: why regulatory obstacles are blocking housing affordability, the shift of top talent to defense tech, and the connection between economic freedom and happiness.
