The education system needs to teach people how to erect firewalls around their minds

Unread post by Destry »

The education system needs to teach people how to erect firewalls around their minds and inoculate themselves against dumb and dangerous ideas.

Instead, today’s educational system trains people to obey, to defer to authority, to seek approval from groups and to blindly accept.
“First, let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered... . Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don't follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior whatever their rank or station in life. Treat all fairly, or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen.”
“Wise? No, I simply learned to think.”
