I listened to the same episode of Brian Alexander's Future Tech Forum (all episode recordings here) and had the same reaction Jenny Mackness did. "The event was advertised as 'reinventing education', but for me the discussion was more about how and what changes could be made to the existing education system (in this case the American education system)... the future of education is not the same thing as the future of colleges." Mackness cites Iain McGilchrist, Ken Robinson and Étienne de La Boétie to make her point and extend it beyond a mere criticism of Alexander's interview.
