Well that’s fine, but it falls short of the original claim that YT can replace a college education.

> They can literally leave school and already be professionally competent. I think we’ll see them leapfrogging millennials on the career ladder because they had a youth where they could spend their entire time learning literally everything there is to know about their passion for free.

I think he’s right in theory, but in reality kids just watch what’s entertaining.

They said children could leave school with a college level foundation, not that they'd be college level at the age of seven.
