michele very interesting! I thought the western scale was invented to make it easier to notate music (and also because differences smaller than a half tone are hard for most people to hear.) Maybe you could do a video about music systems that aren't built around the 12 note octave! I never really knew why some chords sounded so beautiful, I just enjoyed it.

Dan | Swagaception It's official. This is the only allowed "Dubstep Remix" of anything on YouTube. Apart from the "I am the Doctor" remix. That can live another day. <3

Dan | Swagaception Not sure if you've seen any other videos since, but check out "Producer Name Rap" and "Pointless Fast Rap", both of which kind of get the point across. :p

KC Duggan I went to university and racked up about £17,000 in debt to get a degree that literally became worthless when the market collapsed a month before I graduated. It was four dull years attempting to learn something complicated and failing. I gave a Dave a few dollars to help make this video and learnt more in 13 minutes than I did in a semester of degree level tuition. I can't help but rationalising that Dave has developed a far more entertaining, time and money efficient way of teaching people. Dave, please teach me all the things. Literally, just pick something you think it's worth knowing and make a video about it because it's either than or I watch more bloody lip sinking and feel my neurone dying.

Bobby Keane Hi Dave. I agree with you. In a perfect world, practical subjects like the ones you mention, especially personal finances, would be taught in school. When I left high school (and when I left college) I was completely unprepared for the real world. As a result I have made some poor decisions. (Me at 19: A credit card with a $3000 limit even though I have no job and no credit history? 22.9% interest? I don't know what that means but I am 100% interested in buying dozens of CDs and video games!) However, I wouldn't say that the time I spent in school being "forced" to learn things that had no practical use was "wasted" time. For example, I couldn't care less about Roman history when I was in the 9th grade and it does me no good now to know that Julius Caesar was part of the first triumvirate. Still, as a result of those history classes I learned how to read for comprehension and how to form and articulate a thesis in an essay. Most importantly, through being forced to take those seemingly irrelevant classes I learned the most important life skill: CRITICAL THINKING. That is something that cannot be effectively taught if a kid is allowed to simply study whatever strikes his fancy. Talk about impractical classes, though... some of the things I had to take to get a college degree. Calculus 1, 2, and 3 for a computer science degree? Bah. Not to go on a tangent, but the only function of those classes was to test the limit of my patience.

Brendan This is exciting to see! I'm really looking forward to what this dialogue can make possible. The more people who get others in their lives (including at school) involved in talking about what education should be, the more cases of unexpected change will be possible. For those stuck in schools that refuse to change from the "sit down and shut up" paradigm, spreading the word about alternatives can do a lot to help those individuals, but ALSO help shine a spotlight on how else education can work, and shake things up in general. My focus is on helping unhappy students figure out options, including through school-survival.net -- so these videos are music to my ears, and are already going a long way toward changing things. Keep it up, and I'm always available to brainstorm, research, and introduce people to others who want to change education.

Brendan Re: The Finnish school system -- it's interesting, for sure, and better in many ways. However, the "Finland is the answer!" news reports and documentaries obscure a reality, which is that it's sort of a "kinder, gentler" variation on the same "factory-model" paradigm of education. A lot of students there are still unhappy -- on a (simplistic) survey question on the PISA exams, "Are you happy in school?" Finnish students were near the bottom globally on how many said yes: http://professorsblogg.com/2013/12/04/pisa2013/ (scroll to see the charts.) And anecdotally, I read a School Survival survey response the other day from a Finnish student, who reported having low grades, hating school, and learning better online, and feeling stuck. What it comes down to is, there's a lot to make sense of in education, and learning about and discussing it from all these sides (and with learners themselves) is what it'll take to change things.

Summer Holland I've never been one who falls prone to stress easily, with the exception of eating badly. Anxiety is more of my issue, which just compounds until I do something about it. Thanks for the message, Dave! The sarcasm is so strong.

Boyinaband Thanks Oliver! Andrew and I talked about it but we've been focused on the A2Z sequel whenever we worked together so far. I really want to find a way to make something cool out of it though :D

Chris I love your witticisms in this, especially you making of your British accent. Have you ever thought of taken up voice acting? Based on some of the stuff I have seen, you and Minx could totally tear it up!
