> No, he said we should make it less shitty. And outlined a way to do so. Why misrepresent his words?
No, he didn't outline a way to make it better. He denigrated the people involved, in a way that is (most charitably) an oblique reference to low education budgets (e.g. not enough money to hire enough teachers or attract talented teachers). Then he held up some references to a few techie things.
Maybe he's a genius autodidact that never really got much benefit from his teachers. There have always been people like that, but they've never been common. A system tailored to people like that would fail the vast majority (e.g. be shitty).
That's a common but pretty twisted bit of logic: "we've made it shitty, so we should make it shittier because it's already so shitty."
