    Firestein, Extra Question

    in Thoughts from Learners

    I would have loved to know if he has pushed for a similar course to "ignorance" in any other Universities? It seems like a really interesting class and I think it might be cool if it was accessible in more places.

    Zev, I wonder if by 'ignorance' you mean it in a scientific context. If so, I am in total agreement for having such as course. In fact, a class like PredictionX would be very nice for a lot of unis to offer (since it places emphasis on known unknowns and unknown unknowns, in addition to other useful topics). PredictionX is available for free on edX so I think it wouldn't take much work for people to compile course materials. Perhaps the only obstacle would be to actually take the initiative to make it part of traditional high school and university curricula.
