I think if youtube loosened it's restrictions on speech or opposing ideas and concepts it very easily would be a great wealth of knowledge. But as of learning how to do things, how to fix your car if it has problems, how to diagnose problems, how to fix electronics or at least steps you can take to self diagnose and fix problems by following people who are more knowledgeable on certain subjects, for that it's invaluable. I mean I've read articles, one recently about a surgeon who had to perform a c-section in some African country and he was watching a youtube video while performing the procedure to learn how to do the c-section, unfortunately the patient and child both died, but it just goes to show that even medical procedures are explained in detail on youtube, theres legal advice and history lessons, basically anything you help doing, theres likely a youtube video out there coaching you through performing such tasks, or lessons on subjects, videos summarizing textbooks and information that you can find in text. So it's a vast library of knowledge and it's a great resource though if someone's life depends on it, I wouldn't use youtube to coach me to success... since not every video is to be trusted or is intended to be used as a teacher. But you could definitely use it to get a baseline understanding on a topic before going and learning more, theres still an amount of real world experience and practice to become successful at certain things before you can successfully perform let's say surgery or operate a crane. But you can watch a video that gives you the basic information needed to know what lever does what and what each pedal is for, but you still need an amount of practice on a piece of machinery to get the feel of operating such a machine down.

Agreed.. Wisdom is the combination of intelligence/education and experience. You can learn from others all day but until it's applied you can't fully know. Take bike riding as an example. watch it all day long and you think you know how to do it until you try and realize how painful crashing is 😆

Well said, that's what I was trying to explain except my explanation was more of a pleonasm, just a aroundabout, long-winded way of unintentionally saying such a simple thing.
