3blue1brown gives me hope that there are a few Michael Jordan level teachers out there, and youtube/the internet will allow us to find those people and reward them appropriately
The basketball player (Michael Jeffrey Jordan) or machine learning professor (Michael Irwin Jordan at Cal Berkeley)?
If the former, surely we have better role models for teaching than a basketball player. Apologies for the prodding, but cross-domain idolatry gets me riled up.
For me and thousands of others, Grant Sanderson, creator of 3b1b, is the archetype of an internet-era world class educator. Thanks Grant.

Yes, there are many others across various fields. While profits can be a useful motivator, we don’t want that to be the only mechanism. Education isn’t only about the most profitable topics or the students already best situated to learn.
