STUPID BY CHOICE: Why You're Uneducated in the Age of Free Genius and Exactly How to Fix It Before It's Too Late

America handed an entire generation free access to the greatest tutor in human history - and used it to watch cat videos.Since 1980, college tuition has climbed more than 1,200%. Student debt has topped $1.8 trillion. And somehow, with more free, expert-level instruction available than any civilization in history has ever had, adult literacy and numeracy are sliding backward. That is not a coincidence. It's a choice - and nobody told you you were making it.Stupid by Choice is the blunt, no-apology diagnosis of how we got here, and the exact system for getting out. Robert F. Geissler lays out the Build → Consume → Prove method: how to turn any AI model into a personal curriculum designer, tutor, examiner, and portfolio coach - for the price of a coffee subscription instead of a four-year mortgage. You'll learn to reverse-engineer any career into a syllabus, drill yourself with Socratic AI questioning, simulate the job interview before it happens, and build proof of work that a diploma can no longer promise on its own.This book doesn't blame you for the system. It hands you the exit.The tools are already on your phone. The only question left is whether you keep using them to feel busy - or finally use them to get dangerous.
