Video games are already great at teaching. If they don't assess your =evel and put an appropriate challenge right in front of you, the game =ails. Challenge too hard and you get frustrated and quit playing. Too =asy and the game is no fun. That is exactly what a good teacher or =utor would do. Fundamentally the thing that works is a 1 to 1 student =eacher ratio. Even if you have a shitty teacher or tutor, you will =earn a lot because that person gets to know you and challenges you at =our level. That doesn't scale, but computers do. So we have to use =omputers to replace teachers - or at least augment them. Today's video games don't try to teach stuff we care about. Well, =xcept for shooting bad guys. The best scheme I've come up with so far =s to use X-Prize or something like it to co-opt the existing video game =ndustry. Give out a prize to the game that comes up with the best way =f teaching kids anything from a normal school curriculum. Let them =ick whatever they want to teach, any grade level, and just incorporate =t into their product. That's the way to get the most brains and the =ost users for the least money. You want to skip convincing educators =nd parents about this stuff and just go straight for the kids. Imagine you are looking at a door in a video game. It has some squiggly symbols printed on it. Little munchkins walk up to that door and say =Konichiwa." The door opens and they are greeted by a hot princess with =ig tits and a thong. The door closes in your face. You are going to =ucking learn to read and pronounce Kanji. Unleash that on 5th grade boys and then next thin
