It is 5AM and I couldn't sleep, so I decided to randomly type into
YouTube --- as I have no TV & have not watched regular TV for close to
15 years, thus missing all Beavis and Buttheadd and all these
intellectually stimulating shows on TV this last generation --- and
saw a beautiful Asian woman's face attached to the title:

Differential Equations and exp (At) from MIT.... on Linear Algebra,
the fall of last year...

I wonder if poor countries like Laos make use of these freely provided
fundamental lecturing materials, made possible by virtually all top
notch schools: Harvard, Berkeley, MIT, CalTech, etc.

I am not saying Laos people are stupid...

I am simply saying the number of professors, student teachers,
researchers, etc. that could easily DISSEMINATE basic/fundamental math
and science, at the level that STUDENTS at the world's best
universities HAVE TO MASTER, everyday, here in the West.... that THOSE
KINDS OF CALIBRE people in Laos are NOT ENOUGH to go around, from
north to south, west to east, and in between, staffing all its high
school and colleges and universities.... like we have here in
America...

So I wonder if the gentle and wise Communist Leaders in Laos allow
these freely broadcasted PURELY EDUCATIONAL programs, from premier
learning institutes in the Evil West, to be available to Laos high
schoolers and college students, as SUPPLEMENTARY tools.....

And taking advantage of BASIC/FUNDAMENTAL information this way is not
new; I remember when I first went to college, there was supposed to be
a very smart, semi-homless man who just walked off the street into the
lecture halls, at the University of California --- I dont' remember
whether it was at San Diego or Berkley --- and he religious attended
classes in MATHEMATICS... and became quite learned, although as an
UNREGISTERED "student", he couldn't take the exams... But apparently
the guy became quite good at mathematics... all free!

Again, these days, it's 1,000 times easier, with nobody bothering you,
and you could learn and re-learn at your own leisure, since everything
--- whole series of programs of virtually all the most fundamental
human knowlege of the last 2,500 years --- is on YouTube (or its
parent company, Google), one of the true fruits of the "dot.com"
bubble era...
