because we have been studying and observation the indian landscape for a few years i represent i happen to represent it here in india and i have taken literally butin to india since two thousand and sixteen the first time he came to india the only applications we saw were big iron exchanges not even those x.'s exchanges did not even deal in other cryptocurrency like it here so it started with big garden exchanges and there was hardly anybody creating any applications writing any smart contracts and there were no capabilities right and what india is a huge repertoire of technical talent we have a huge number of engineers graduating perhaps we are the second largest or the largest school of graduates maybe after china and vietnam is speaking graduates so we are mathematically extremely well trained and the demos are extremely talented so it doesn't take very much effort or order of.

much time for them to get accept with block chips so that is what is happening now so if we compare two thousand and sixteen to seventeen the uni lateral are you need i mention will focus on bitcoin trading and applications to do with big grid has transformed now to building a big actions on the t.d.m. people getting trained in solidity we have costarred hack a thons there and we were surprised even retallack was very impressed that the use cases and applications that were being built why are not just related to the financial services but across the spectrum so there were there were large sticks there were supply chain companies there were financial inclusion appley cations there was even a technical payment channel application which impressed retallack and reality ended up giving the price the block and price for every dollar didn't price for a block in excellence. fantastic a reefer com krypto champion thank you so much for being with us hope you'll come

and we're joined by bryan caplan whose new book the case against education is creating quite a stir and we're pleased to have a with us brian now explain yourself because the title is obviously provocative but what are you saying that that maybe there's commonality and then we'll get into the details so the main thing i'm saying is that even though education plays pretty well for the students themselves it's not really a very good investment taxpayer money because most of what you learn in school you're never actually going to use on the job. so how do we how do we deal with that i mean what's what's the answer i mean having better educated kids is and young adults is obviously helpful in the long term to disk being fully developed humans but how do we deal with you know what you write about and i read

a lot of your book and you talk about that essentially the moniker that goes with the degree is not worth it you're not saying being stupid is a good thing. being stupid is not a good thing but you know really what i'm saying we could agree on that part brian right and the stupidity in this post either have a princeton diploma with no education or princeton education with no diploma which one would you rather have right now right and if you even have to think about it you really agree with me and what i'm saying is sure a school does teach some useful skills but one of the main reasons people go is just to get a stamp on their forehead to get a seal of approval to do get certified and of course that's really useful for the individual because if you've got that nice princeton agree then employers are going to be a lot more interested in hiring you but i say is from the point of view of society that's not really very helpful because if we were all to go and have nice fancy degrees this would mean we'd all get to have nice jobs it would mean that you just need to have more education and fancier degrees in order to be considered worthy of

employment so i mean really i say a lot of education is a rat race where the more you have the more you need to be considered employable and again of course if people are learning a lot of really useful skills in school than this would be fine because you learn useful skills that you actually get better at doing a job but in most of what's going on in schools you study subjects you're never going to use after graduation and so i say there's really very little point in taxpayers going encouraging this kind of. ok well i think we've we have i agree with a lot of what you said actually but i think we may be coming to the fork right here because you also argue against spending you know money cutting spending on education i don't think there's a role there and so my question is that you know shouldn't we just try to educate kids students better in a in a in a way that doesn't just rely upon some crappy sheepskin but is actually based upon real things but you go right to it seems cutting spending. well i mean here's the

thing there have been people working on improving teaching for many decades and yet learning remains quite crummy and it is and like how crummy is it well there are a lot of subjects that people study for years that they essentially know zero about adulthood like foreign languages like normal in u.s. schools that you have to take two or three years of foreign language you just go and talk to adults and ask them have you learned to speak a foreign language very well in school under one percent will say they do so it's not that we're just not getting a lot of value there's a lot of areas where we put in years of time and money and we get next to nothing for it so in cases like that i say just not realistic to think that we could just improve it and then finally we get our money to the case where english is look schools been wasting a lot of money and really we should go and withhold say look you've been wasting autonomy and what kind of money and we don't want to keep wasting of these things so you know like you know this is not require any anything even all the radicals really just ten percent cut in spending or twenty percent cut in spending you know a minimum to say tell schools look first you go and show that you are teaching

people to be fluent in foreign languages and then maybe we'll consider going to restore your funding so to me this is like a case where someone's been wasting a pile of money of your money for years like someone's been taking money to mow your lawn and then the law doesn't get me any mode for years i mean you could say well why don't you just make sure they mow the lawn as a boy given how messed up the system is and probably better just to say look how about you go and you first demonstrate that you can do the job and then maybe we can talk about the money boy you must be a strict parent by guys i mean yeah i mean they had to say i mean you're not doing anything for me it's terrible. yeah i get the argument in theory brian but i mean it seems to me boy i don't want to be those kids who are the victim of your policy or particularly you know the more vulnerable kids too who don't have access because if you're in a middle income and you can afford to or are wealthy you know families you can afford to put your kids in schools again you can debate whether or not those

schools are the best but you can make a decision based upon the free market where you go but particularly if you cut funding then there is no option i mean none for kids and what we don't what we want to hold you know a country of homeschoolers i mean how do we deal with that. yeah he is so i totally get this argument but he is so first of all what you're saying is no argument against a ten percent cut right so you can cut spending by ten percent it isn't even that long ago that spending was ten percent lower and yet things were not were not dramatically different but he of them the main thing even mind is this so if what i'm saying is right and the main reason education pays is just that you're getting these diplomas and raise to impress employers then if everybody had less the main effect would just be that employers would lower their standards so you know we're measuring we're everyone in a college degree and that case employers would expect you have a college degree when fewer people have it than there are a lot more opportunities for people who don't have it and you go back fifty years

you know if you were a high school dropout there was a lot more opportunities for you in those days because when a lot more people didn't finish school it didn't say anything all that bad about you and employers were openminded so you know like whenever people start getting really worried about the impact on vulnerable people they're always picturing like what if one person doesn't get to go and that case i agree one person doesn't get to go then they stand out like a sore thumb well the other hand if we were just to move back to a world where people didn't take college for granted then i say like it would not be bad for people on balance because would mean that the education you couldn't afford you'd also no longer meet again just picture this imagine a world where you can get a good job right out of high school this used to be the american economy and i say it could be the american economy again. you know you're you are you are one of these fellows that back in the day i would like to had a bunch o. wine with and because the theory is great but i just get concerned and you talk about you know the world i mean if you look at you know students around the world

the better educated kids that are young adults again that are i shouldn't keep saying kids but to young adults that are graduating you know they're getting better jobs and overall you know we are not in the u.s. an island unto ourselves and so if we don't have you're talking about a revolutionary thing i get that but i just don't know how you get there in practice are you really suggesting that we do these things are you saying there's a big problem and we need to take a revolutionary action because i just don't want to be on the short end of the stick when we're already have a very an educated population compared to the global marketplace. yes so we're not educated compared to the global marketplace and your terms of years of education the us is way above the world average and about average for rich countries like the m i if you go and look at what we know there but up a brilliant but yes but real quick but you already told us that that the education we had isn't worth anything so it's all right with over the years why i don't

necessarily equate to it right i mean if we don't know how the people that we're bringing over from from india and that the chinese students who are coming to work here i mean we don't have that sort of quality of students do we well if you want to measure it just by by international test scores then again the u.s. is way above the world average and is not at the very top but it's still doing quite quite well overall they say how can that be when you're talking about how little adults know these are testily literacy and numeracy they're things that at least a lot of people do learn them fairly well but again the other male the main thing is that most people actually get good at their jobs by doing you learn by practice i mean so much of what the education system is all about is we make people jump through hoops for seventeen years and finally at the end we say ok now you're weren't worthy of learning how to be a pilot worthy of learning how to be a doctor worthy of learning how to be a secretary and i say we just cut some years off of that would be a big improvement you know there are programs like switzerland where like there are

highly developed countries were it were a much smaller share of the workers go to college they're still great at what they do but they just have a my economy that's much more focused on learning by doing and they lead people to start adulthood at an earlier age than the similarly you know to go on to worry that we're going to be put behind other countries and you know like what other countries are mostly making the same mistakes where there were that we're making where they're pouring lots of money and have kids spend long years in school a lot of times not learning much but even if they do learn they're learning stuff they're never going to know her regulation you know like the practical thing is to try to cut to the chase and say why don't we go and prepare people for what they're really going to do instead of making them wait. three years and you're studying subjects that are not relevant to the future. we have to finish and leave it there but i do want to not only thank you for your controversial and definitely a thought provoking dialogue and to close that you know there is one thing i think we do agree on and you are getting to it there that we really should teach students

for the jobs that are out there and we shouldn't just everybody should be on a college track and so i thank you for your contribution thank you for your time with boom bust and we wish you the best bryan caplan the author of the case against education thanks only twenty bucks on amazon can you afford not to buy. thank you. thank you. that's it for this time thanks for watching be sure to catch us on you tube but youtube dot com slash boom bust are to see again next week. when you don't usually see the. what did they call it to do.

what they did most through only ten space. made. left alone they killed said. cement claiming to know german did that to. alex you speak french. while the said he then send them all to new employees what he's told good people sloan is busy led them to this. told me it's so also not accepted. russia and all the us is deciding maybe of what truman companies or european companies are investing in the over which infrastructure we are building a truman e or and injure op i think that's a truman and it's a european to switch. the

legacy of the communist era has left i'm assuming a lot of of the legacy waste as well and i'm assuming again from my understanding of the soviet era that there was much more of a culture of a reuse and not throwing things away that i think aside even the most. thank.

you. i. made.

a group of. eastern guta using a humanitarian corridor that's off the top brokered by moscow this video shows the militants being escorted out of the area by syrian soldiers as in previous cases across syria the jihadists have surrendered in return for safe passage to other areas still held by militants details here with these daniel hawkins. the first a group of thirteen armed militants and their families leaving the area through one of those russian military syrian government organized checkpoints those safety codes offered to civilians and fighters to leave the area should they wish to do so

this a similar previous moves during the syrian civil war where rebels have been evacuated from places such as homs other towns as well under the cease fire agreements and moved up to the province thus allowing the syrian government to move in take over the area and avoid a long protracted conflict causing more bloodshed now this is significant because prior to this all offers you know by the russian military and the syrian government were rejected by rebel groups in the region despite unverified video shown of flyers being dropped over the towns and the city in the area no groups have taken up that office so far and civilians allegedly have also been prevented from leaving the area through those corridors because of shelling to those roads now all of the other bit of news is that the syrian rebel group. has issued a statement in which they've said they have taken the decision to release members

of the terrorist group al nusra formerly al qaida in syria from prisons and transport them to this nation likely to be in the north of the country one of the last major burble strongholds in syria we don't yet know if the statement from jaish al islam and these rebels leaving the area are linked we don't know what group they're from either way though this does mark a significant development and could leave the door open to why the evacuation of rebel fighters and civilians from the area in the coming future journalist rick stirling believes the evacuation will help to save civilian lives. they have their base of operations in is and clearly the the strategy of the syrian government and their allies. to remove the terrorists from the more populated areas and get them all concentrated in it live and in deal with that down the road it's tremendously positive to remove the terrorists from around damascus that had mortars and hell

cannon missiles coming into it on a nearly basis which i witnessed myself the news about some terrorists leaving the area the news of public protest by civilians in those areas against the against the occupying militants are positive indications. on friday a un humanitarian convoy finally managed to enter eastern ghouta the aid supplies have been delayed by heavy fighting as government forces battled terrorists we spoke to un a refugee agency representative who just visited that area. is part of this. group's inside they need to to convince that security assurances that he can come in and those who are outside need to give us that guarantee that they would be peace during that period when we call in and bring assistance in the. groups inside who are resisting in fighting there are groups that are fighting amongst themselves and there's pressure from onset from the military so civilians who are caught in

this in this situation they have nowhere to go according to the latest un estimates the fighting in eastern guta has resulted in more than one hundred deaths in two days the united nations also called on all parties to end the violence and we spoke to red cross regional spokesperson ralph l. . the need of people remain massive the needs are two fold three four etc you have medical needs you have need for access to a good source of food you need also access to good clean water you have all sorts of needs inside water today the priority remains medical help that we need to. reach. people inside all that and food as well what happens when it's seven thousand five hundred people which the trucks on monday and today were able to provide humanitarian aid to just a little percentage of what who of the people who need the military aid inside this

week has also seen claims of a fresh chemical weapons attack on ghouta reportedly carried out by the syrian government something damascus strongly denies and the issue of chemical weapons in syria was touched upon in a recent n.b.c. interview with blood amir putin do you believe the chemical weapons attacks in syria are fake news. of course. of the syrian government's destroyed its chemical weapons long ago. we know about the militants we plan to simulating chemical attacks by the syrian army and so strongly in. me. after all the years have been made repeatedly in the recent past and all the accusations we used to consolidated the efforts against assad to use poison in your the cockpit glore cook the consulate we are aware of these goings on. by and they are not interested in months to say boring because. the bodies of dead children thanks to

syrian gas attacks here in the dorm are you sure that these deaths the result of chemical attacks by the syrian government you should know now but all of. them knew it was no serious investigation and there were no dead bodies. he was with military maybe they weren't dead bodies which is to expect he didn't look they liberated most certainly must was razed to the ground but when you leave them they liberated iraq you did wish you could not be removed from the ruins are you married do you want to talk about this. a former police officer in the u.s. state of north carolina charged with assaulting a black man who was accused of jaywalking it all happened last august and was captured on the officers body thirty three year old joining rush was on his way home when two officers stopped coming in accused him of crossing an empty street illegally wrong officer chris heckman can later be seen punching and tasering rush we should warn you the next video is just.

i've heard. oh god i was i. was a clip was leaked six months after the incident and the police brutality activist michelle gross says the police department's refusal to act on the video until it was released is alarming the video was held by the police department all this time and all of this time they could have taken action against officer hickman an officer or gary and they chose not to you know supervisors look at that footage right away early so supposed to and clearly he had no fear of any kinds of accountability related to that conduct this must be standard operating procedure in

that particular police department and frankly it is in many police departments these videos must always be made public we have no way to monitor police conduct and to understand how our police are operating if we can't watch those videos that they themselves collect on their own activities. the asheville police department has condemned the actions saying they are quote contrary to the progress we have made in the last years in improving community trust however the incident in north carolina is just the latest in a series that have been captured over the past three yes. good. or bad.
