There are two main parts to this book -- the education I don't want, and the education I want. You might wonder why is the title of this only the second part. First, the two parts are essentially mirrors for each other -- knowing what we want helps us see what we don't want, and knowing what we don't want means clarifying what we actually want. Second, I hope the title "The Education I Want" falls on a positive note. The world has enough critics. Most people are fatastic at complaining yet clueless at building alternatives. I don't want to indulge in complaining why things don't work, but rather focus on poiting out what could be. Finally, the emphasis on "I". There are more than enough voices arguing for the education *we* should have and what's good for *us*. The underlying assumption is that there is an optimal collective solution. However, there is no such thing, nor should there be. It's countless "I"s that form a we. True "we" is not a monolith imposed from above, but a network of sovereign "I"s, each pursuing their own path. The old world of scarce knowledge, monopolized by institutions, is dead. Information is now abundant. The technology, tools, and resources for self-directed learning are in our hands. This book is not a plea to change the system from top-down. Rather, it's a call for the courage and power of "I"s -- to reclaim the education they want, and deserve.
