Influence

Stuff that makes me think

Here is a collection of videos, quotes, songs, art, etc which have left a mark on me. I will try my best to categorize them by topics.


Tupac on schools

Tupac is one of my heroes. Here, he talks about his vision for schools (around 18:51 in the video). He is absolutely right that instead of being about learning, schools has become more of a tradition. And he is only 17 years old in this video!

Pink Floyd on schools

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone

Unlike what many believe, the song is not anti-schools or anti-education. The bassist Roger Waters wrote this song as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools in UK.
