Ideally, what should be said to every child, repeatedly, throughout his or her school life is something like this: 'You are in the process of being indoctrinated. We have not yet evolved a system of education that is not a system of indoctrination. We are sorry, but it is the best we can do. What you are being taught here is an amalgam of current prejudice and the choices of this particular culture. The slightest look at history will show how impermanent these must be. You are being taught by people who have been able to accommodate themselves to a regime of thought laid down by their predecessors. It is a self-perpetuating system. Those of you who are more robust and individual than others will be encouraged to leave and find ways of educating yourself — educating your own judgements. Those that stay must remember, always, and all the time, that they are being moulded and patterned to fit into the narrow and particular needs of this particular society.

My vote on this comment does not mean I support the contents of the article. Actually I think (with only a light read) that the main article is mostly tripe. Firstly, why the emphasis on children? I think we are at a time where quite clearly 'survival imperative' of humanity as a whole is being 'overmet'; a unique time when we could choose to live for ourselves, rather than 'bringing a child into an increasingly broken world'. I realise that only a small percentage of humanity will be able to process the above without resorting to a zealous online rage. Give it some thought tho. Secondly. Am I wrong or is the article generally quite narrow-minded and quite 'thinly veiled' contempt of 'changes' to the status quo?
For instance. Like Logan Paul, whose content is only ever intended for entertainment, there is little proposal of something different, and 'assurances' that basically I'm a 'nice guy'...
Anyway.
Lots of ladies loving the post so its gotta be right, right?
You have to learn to distinguish reality from tripe. Why not try to fix the broken world. That is what I am trying to do instead of advocating stopping people from bringing children into a broken world.
Give this some thought bro... Do not give up on trying to change the world for the better!
