On Education

Education is a ‘Forced Ignorance’ [Chomsky]
I agree. I am in deep despair over the education system.
The daily hauling of the kids in buses. The horrendously ignorat dweeps who teach the kids. The general dde-intellectuliazation of kids.

I can see 3 major treands
a. TV/and its masters – the media triangle – Banks, Home Builders/White Goods manufacturers and the financial institutions – they have trained the entire kids generation to “Compete via Consuming”

b. The schools are teacing kids ignorance. They are teaching kids that their own opinion about anything is useless. That only the experts know. A belief system is being installed- that helps the social overlords – the bnks, the home/goods makers and media.

c. Very deliberate attack on the creative capablities of the individual – an attack that forces ppl to NOT create. And to become passve consumers

In the past- kids used to compete on creativity. now they compete on consumption. he who can conspicuously consume more is better.

what to do ?
