Dinesh D'Souza: "The #SeattleAutonomousZone gives me an idea. We might consider a long-term plan to create our own autonomous zone, with our own media, our own movies, our own education system."

I agree completely. I have been thinking this a lot lately. The internet HAS stemmed a growth of independent media, it's just obviously not competitive with mainstream media in terms of viewership, release cadence, or production quality. There are a few different video hosting alternatives to Youtube now, and that is good in terms of censorship.

I think an education system could be hugely beneficial. We are at an incredible place in terms of technology, capability, and knowledge (our ability to summon so much info from the internet etc.). I think the hard part would be getting people to agree on the curriculum, and eventually the execution of day-to-day activities. Building an education system seems like a hugely important task, hopefully incredible leaders can emerge with some ways forward.

I think a combination of learning-focused technology and also being taught more directly by parents could be interesting. It seems a bit far-fetched as a universal solution, but in select communities I bet something like that could thrive.

I agree; it won't be a walk in the park. However, there are already some resources for this. I think the two main components would be a homeschooling curriculum as well as a collection of college-level courses. COVID forcing most colleges online has already led many to rethink education.
