You know, Daum says of people studying to be doctors, "can't they just watch youtube videos", and the reality is that a lot of people learn the science at places like Khan Academy (which is on youtube) or SketchyMicro and Pathoma (which are paid services but are also full of short videos). Reading textbooks or going to class really was not a thing unless they required us to come (which they gave up on).

And certainly, with regards to teaching skills, youtube videos are quite common. Even as a practicing physician, when there was an issue with a nurse giving an injection that didn't quite get in the right spot, the head honcho sent me a youtube video on how to do it correctly.

On another note, I used to spend quite a bit of time in Frankfort, where Kentucky State is, and the vibe is very casual. The activist stuff does not come across at all. It's a small town surrounded by rolling hills (it's not really Appalachia; it's Bluegrass) and it feels like a small town. Louisville, on the other hand, is one of the most overtly "race politics" places I've ever been.
