The access to diversity of thought now is now the greatest it’s ever been.

100 years ago you had access to only one way of thinking*. The internet has changed that.

“Diversity of thought” is the concept that there are people who know a lot, have some authority, and end up in a different intellectual place than others.

If you have access to this blog, chances are you have access to YouTube,Codecademy,Udemy, One Month, etc. All these places have courses (and in YouTube’s case, a lot more).

You can spend the day learning about Alan Watts, Seth Godin, and Martin Luther King Jr through a course, a lecture, or biography for free or slight cost.

These are free platforms where one can express her views,  combine them, deconstruct them as often as you want, all for no cost.

When this is clear to those who want to pick up the tools, magic happens.

The best part? No Ph.D , magic wand, or gatekeeper required.

* Unless you traveled, which was a rarity before the airplane. Most people didn’t go further than 10 miles from home their entire life.
