Status Report on MOOC-Taking Adventure

Over the last 3 years or so, I have taken countless MOOCs (Massive open on-line courses). I went from knowing very little about computer programming and other hot topics in theoretical computer science. Now I know a little bit more than nothing. I find that amazing. Total cost: 0$, all but a simple internet connection (low bandwidth too!).

I won't list the MOOCs that I've taken since I have taken close to 200 of them so far. Granted, I didn't finish them all and I never got a passing grade on a single MOOC I took. The problem, though, I can assure you, is with the MOOC designs, and NOT with my abilities, performance, etc.

I just can't take a bunch of tests when there is overt competition between students. I actually stopped participating in the on-line discussions around MOOCs for the same reason, i.e. competition that I found malodorous, not to my taste. Also, none of the MOOCs that I have participated in were adapted for people with disabilities.

For a while, I stopped participating altogether. I stopped taking MOOCs. I figured that I had learned just about as much as I ever would, at least with regard to MOOC-taking. My opinion on this matter has changed, though. I am back in the MOOC-taking business and hope to soon be the most educated person on planet earth.

Cause that's the kind of competition I'm in for, not this blazé ego-trip from the habitués of Pornographic Reddit Ego-Stroking, a.k.a. Narcotizing the Ego, the Social Ego Narcotic, etc. I am ahead of my time. I had to accept it, but can YOU?

Here is an Abstract, Imaginary Integrated Circuit Topography. The real circuits I will be building from anywhere between 10-15, even 20-30 years. Codename: AntiOS, The Antiface Chip, and so on and so forth, so help me Almighty Lord.
