Certainly doesn't help that colleges that aren't at the MIT/Stanford level have as specified purposes only to provide employment and generate profit through state subsidies, education is a side effect, if at all. It is just luck if at one of these colleges you find a passionate teacher/professor/mentor who has enough time to pay attention to you.

The future of education will be the personal artificial mentor, such as GPT10+ will be able to provide, and then the question becomes: how do you generate internal motivation for the children/people to be interested in knowledge and power over nature instead of being mindlessly entertained by whatever the ad-driven feed displays.
