Most Underrated Teacher In Your Opinion?

[The_Alchemist]

Who is someone you have learned a ton from that you feel doesn't get enough love?

For me I would say:
Tai Lopez for life, philosophy and psychology in general
3DMJ for bodybuilding/weight training and nutrition
Academy of Ideas for tying in philosophical/psychological concepts with modern themes

What about you guys?

Naval Ravikant - ties in philosophy and psychology with building wealth

Books. Research. I'd stop subordinating yourself. Either way you're going to learn more that way because your brain can process more information through the written rather than the spoken word. Unless you're like under someone like Elon Musk or the person is a legitimate genius who has thorough credibility. Most people are not credible even though they want to appear to be. Treat everyone as a peer rather than as a teacher and you'll learn a heck more, you'll also see through the so called "teacher" far more easily. People who want to be looked at as a teacher have severe psychological issues, seriously. Happy to explain the reasoning.

Great guy here are some of my fav quotes from him:

"The most important thing for getting rich is becoming a PERPETUAL learner" Naval

"Ignore: The news and complainers" Naval

"Suffering is a moment of clarity when you can no longer deny the truth of the situation and are forced into uncomfortable change" Naval

"The quality of your mind is the quality of your life" Naval

"Do everything you were going to do, but with less suffering, angst and emotion, everrything takes time" Naval Ravikant

I shouldn't subordinate to people-said the guy who told him to subordinate to him.

But yeah I get the gist of what I'm saying; everyone is a teacher;
What to do
What not to do

No Gods yes, but everyone and everything is a teacher, only two ways to learn;
People (videos/mentors)
Books (written/articles)

I agree with Origins. I think all teachers are overrated. It is like Mark Twain said; "there are two types of people: those who talk in their sleep and lecturers who talk while other people sleep." I read in one of my sister's psychology texts about research on learning methods in which the researchers discovered that students in a classroom lecture are daydreaming 70% of the time. That makes school probably the most ineffective, ineffecient method of education ever devised. 

When you get right down to it school teachers are certainly the most overpaid people on earth. They graduate from taxpayer funded teacher's colleges and the amount that isn't covered with taxpayer funds they pay with taxpayer subsidised student loans and grants, spend their entire careers funded by the taxpayer with a nice salary, blue cross/blue shield and then they retire on a taxpayer provided pension - plainly and simply they spend their entire adult lives at the taxpayer trough and all for doing nothing but burn up time that could have been spent learning by talking while other people sleep. 

 

PS: anyone who tells my teachers that I wrote this will be shot!
