The Vision that Sustains You

Where does that come from your tenacity, your belief in the core principle of what you're trying to achieve?

Yeah, it is the belief in clearly there is value. Clearly the world needs an institution like this. And it's just a matter of timing and traction, and resources. And so when Khan Academy was starting to become something, a little part of me said what if this could become like the foundation? What if this could be like an institution we build. Hopefully civilization is not about to enter into a dark ages. But we can keep that from happening even more so. And as all these changes happen in society around automation, artificial intelligence and all these things, that Khan Academy could be an institution that helps society, the social fabric of society to stay intact. And this is all delusional thinking for a guy living off his savings in a walk-in closet not sure if he could support his family.
