Is There a Rise in Self Education?

There does seem to be more of a rise right now of independent education, or people crafting their own educational plans. Liker: I think there's a lot of narrative around like we can just teach ourselves anything. But that maybe doesn't give as much credit to the fact there still are some things where like the information is behind the walls of the academy. And mostly, blogging has become some sort of medium for self education over the last decade without the institution.
