This video critically examines the popular phrase "you were educated for a world that no longer exists." The speaker argues that this statement, often used in educational discourse, is misleading and that fundamental aspects of education, particularly in core subjects like math and natural sciences, are timeless and essential for understanding reality, regardless of societal changes. The video contrasts "education" with "professional training" and suggests that the confusion arises from attempts to inject transient political or social ideologies into a stable educational core.
