Video of a panel discussing "Massive Online Open Disruption." The focus is completely on U.S. entrepreneur-style disruptions such as Peter Thiel's fellowship that pays students $100,000 to drop out of college. "The real zingers were instead supplied by Larry Summers, the former president of Harvard who said very pointedly 'the idea that there is a massive over-investment in education that needs to get scaled back is very badly wrong.'" Video highlights are available online, and maybe one day, the full video here.
