Marc Andreessen in the WSJ:
Health care and education, in my view, are next up for fundamental software-based transformation.

We believe both of these industries, which historically have been highly resistant to entrepreneurial change, are primed for tipping by great new software-centric entrepreneurs.
It will be a challenge to get the attention of someone like this, but my new organization will have the skills, people and financial backing to make a strong charge in disrupting the education marketplace.
The Che Guevara of higher education reveals himself. I think he was executed.
Of course, in your world the “establishment” probably wouldn’t kill you. They would just require you to read a lengthy doctoral dissertation written on a Moebius strip, and you would never be heard from again.
