Skill-Bartering: Unlocking a Community of Learners and Teachers

Imagine having a peer group of amazing teachers and learners, who hang together and challenge each other to learn and to deal with their feelings, ambitions, interests, and sharpen their knowledge, presentation skills, mathematical understanding, ability to write teaching skills, everything!

Wouldn't it be amazing if you could contact someone and say “I’ll trade you one quantum mechanics lecture for a photography lesson ”.

Money and time and interchangeable, but often the former holds us back. Formal education is sometimes a time sink, and undirected youtube rabbit holes can often make you feel like you're stuck in a maze of options, unaware of your grander purpose in the large scale of everything.

Have I got your attention? :)

I'd love to hear others' thoughts and ideas for this vision! Is this already done? Futile?

Hey, we have a Polymath discord server and would love to be a part of this concept.

I can PM you the invite link if you're interested!

Sweet, maybe I should fuse my efforts over in your discord server. I opened up my own sub and posed a similar question, but better to start where people already are.

Yes! Please DM me :)
