Welcome to 21 University
Anthony Dream Johnson here today, founder & CEO of The 21 Convention, and I have some great news : you’ve been accepted to 21 University!
What is 21 University? Well there is an about page dedicated to this question, but I’ll give you a summarized version taken from our declaration to chew on before digging into other sections of the university.
21 University is a no cost, no degree, completely unaccredited university dedicated to education through the presentation of select lectures from The 21 Convention.
In essence, it is a university dedicated to education that the world forgot to tell you about. The important bits that make life possible, and possible to enjoy.
Answers to questions such as …
- How do I avoid getting sucked into the obesity epidemic?
- How do I exercise my body in a way that doesn’t leave me riddled with future health problems?
- Why is it moral to live for my self, and pursue my own happiness and values?
- How do I build relationships that work and don’t lead to disaster?
- How do I cultivate the social skills to talk to 50% of the population? (women)
- How do I defend myself?
- How do I start a successful business?
More often than not, the answers to these questions today are either unexamined absurdities, or, are simply unknown to most people. But the question, above all else, that people need to be asking themselves is one I gave many years ago at The 21 Convention : what good does it do to develop one area of your life, only to watch the rest crumble?
What good is a fulfilling career if you allow yourself to be stuck in a miserable relationship for years at a time? How good can a relationship be if you are constantly over fat, sick, achy, and ill? What good is wealth if your ability to communicate with the opposite sex is effectively zero?
Why build a business from the ground up, if you should take shame and constantly apologize for pursuing your own happiness? Why should you talk to women you are attracted to if you should be ashamed of how you feel about these women?
These are deep questions that go unanswered today or are answered with generic, meaningless, circular statements that leave you exactly where you started : uneducated and lacking the tools to help yourself.
The 21 Convention provides the answers to these questions in the form of live events held all around the world. But The 21 Convention is just that : a convention; it is not, and therefore does not function well as a concentrated, structured, permanent library of knowledge.
The lectures from these events are available at no charge to view; no charge beyond your time, attention, and an internet connection. But the presentations can seem scattered, wide spread, and difficult to navigate.
As a long time viewer of the videos provided by The 21 Convention you may not have realized this due to the quality and abundance of content. There is always something to watch on our Youtube channel or The21Convention.com, and the quality ranges consistently from high, to off the charts.
I believe — as you can see through the evidence of 21 University now existing — that this was only a small pretense of what is possible with education provided by The 21 Convention.
In this sense, 21 University is both a new division of The 21 Convention as well as an evolution with a specific purpose : focused, organized education in the absolute highest quality possible.
As such, you will notice some stark differences for lectures presented here vs. elsewhere on the web.
- Lectures are absolutely the #1 and only priority of this organization and website. There is no second.
- Advertising and distractions on this web site will range from minimal, to non-existent.
- All courses presented here are strictly organized, easy to find, and easy to navigate between.
- The only new items you will consistently encounter at this university are new and additional courses.
- No random Youtube video recommendations, no advertisements, few to no announcements about The 21 Convention live events.
- It’s simply highly organized courses, surrounded by more courses, surrounded by yet more courses. Entirely-distraction-free.
And because 21 University is well organized and distraction free, new courses are not only easy to take, but ones previously taken are easy to find and re-take.
In essence, the ability re-educate yourself on a specific subject, weeks, months, or years later is now easier than ever. Therefore, understanding something that you have had difficultly grasping in the past, now requires less energy, time, and effort.
[You can now spend that time and attention on learning, not trying to find a course you have previously taken, or a new but related course that reinforces the first].
I’ll end this here so you can get on your way to exploring 21 University, but know this :
21 University is your ultimate, one stop, no cost shop for learning how to live an ideal life and build your ideal self, by your own chosen standards.
It is self-directed education taken to a new level of quality and focus, never seen, before now.
To get started, I recommend :
A) Scrolling to the top of this website, browsing the course categories, and getting familiar with what is available. If you haven’t seen one of the lectures, now is the time to do so, and 21 University is the best way to digest the lecture. The same applies if you spot a course you would like to re-take or brush up on.
B) Read the about page and get familiar with the fundamentals driving 21 University.
C) Pick your favorite lecture or course category available on 21 University and share it with a friend. The links themselves are designed to be easy to share, as well as encounter for the first time.
D) Try asking a detailed question to the speakers! This is an experimental feature of 21 University that I think, if practiced by you the viewer and student, can boost the experience for everyone (in comparison to short/low quality comments Youtube is known for, even with lectures from The 21 Convention).
The idea is simple : if your question is sincere, relevant, and detailed, we will make every effort to ensure the speakers see the question (opening the real possibility for a personalized response).
[Comments are welcome on this announcement page, but please keep the comments section generally dedicated to questions and answers elsewhere on 21 University].

Not having a lot of positive mentors in my life, your site has helped me greatly. I’m really interested in being entrepreneurial and self made.

I’d like to second that. I think a lot of us haven’t had any real mentors growing up and even now struggle to find a male role model to support us. The 21 convention has been an integral part of my self-development and I thank you Anthony for your vision and execution of this wonderful project! I also recently watched Fight Club again, and it’s putting a lot of these things in perspective, I suggest all the boys touch up on their Fight Club as well.
