      It is. Books are everywhere. Degrees are not free. Plus there is no free lunch. When you pay for a course, you make it a point to attend.

      He just was just adding his opinion or comment on why he thought Khan probably went the non profit route. It was more about contributing to the conversation and discussion than wanting to purposely interrupt him.

    If i ever become a rich person in future then i will surely donate some millions in his foundation. He is doing a fantastic job. Making education accessible to all. This will help eradicate inequality between the classes in the society. Traditionally the elite class kids used to get quality education because that was very expensive and require logistics that the bottom class couldn’t afford.

      @irfan83amu 5 лет назад +9

      The Foundation series -a science fiction book series written by American author Isaac Asimov. The premise of the stories is that, in the waning days of a future Galactic Empire, the mathematician Hari Seldon spends his life developing a theory of psychohistory,by which he can predict the future of large populations. Seldon foresees the imminent fall of the Empire, which encompasses the entire Milky Way, and a dark age lasting 30,000 years before a second empire arises.Although the inertia of the Empire's fall is too great to stop, Seldon devises a plan by which "the onrushing mass of events must be deflected just a little" to eventually limit this interregnum to just one thousand years.

    Sal Khan is my hero. If one day I manage to become educated enough and proficient enough to teach, I would like to do what Sal is doing. Help to elevate people for free.
    Without Sal I would not be going to university right now. I would have stuck with a passable school education and no hopes or dreams to attain any higher because it would take too much time and money off my hands. Khan Academy is a Godsend and I can't thank him enough for what he's doing.
