Aristocratic tutoring case in point: Terence Tao, one of the few living productive geniuses, started using GPT4 to learn Lean4, highly recommends it.

Terence knows that this aristocratic tutoring method is the best way to learn, as that's how he's learned his whole life.

Now, he's begun relpacing his human aristocratic tutors with an AI machine aristocratic tutor.

What's next? Perhaps this emergence of machine tutoring will finally enable overturning of the key commie claim, that all success is always attributable teamwork among groups humans, one of their top excuses used for forced wealth redistribution from you to them.

As for what is good teaching, to unlock the potential of those who do have great potential, there’s a long history showing what’s best for that ^^

In the distant past, the smartest were teachers

Today, the objectively dumbest are teachers

Does having a smart teacher help?

Most of the smartest people are largely self-taught, but having an actually smart teacher can help in some ways.

IMO, biggest advantage is the same as working with top-tier coworkers

= they help tip you off on what’s most valuable to focus on, often years before it goes mainstream, and they help you very quickly find answers instead of getting stuck

One other big thing:

Dumb teachers can slow you way down, and make your life miserable.

Bring back non-retarded teachers.
