Dear Rational Optimist,
I’m obsessed with AI schooling. The old, one-size-fits-all classroom system grinds the joy out of learning. I’m determined to give my kids something better.
I recently caught up with Synthesis co-founder Chrisman Frank to see how he’s using AI to bring back the one-on-one tutoring style that aristocrats used for centuries—the method we’ve always known works best.
In our interview you’ll hear:
How DARPA created the world’s best training program
The inspiration taken from Musk’s SpaceX school
How Synthesis builds problem-solving mindsets
Why you have to let kids “hold the pen” to learn
Escaping the “industrial education complex”

A transcript of our conversation is available here.
