It's bright morning and I haven't slept yet so I'll try to cut it to the minimum before I go to bed ^^


It doesn't "limit" : actual schools "waste" the possibilities of a greater state of the human mind (considering what is, and what could be). That's an idea about humanity in general, staying still and refusing to change such things as School (or economical systems etc...) is a waste of our possibilities, because that's what Life is about, possibilities.
Things can evolve in so many directions : some directions are taken out of random factors, some other directions are taken by choice.
Plus as I said, there are many forms of intelligence. Which means "assembly line" schooling might be beneficial for some people, and some other might stay totally deaf to the same form of teaching, and maybe we're missing brilliant minds that would help make the world better.

Reforming school implies that we want to reform the rest as well. Changing the education means changing the way future humanbeings will conceive the world. Maybe we shouldn't be working the way we actually do (I'm sure we shouldn't).
Yep "enslavement" and "soldiers" are what life is for the moment... but maybe educating the minds of the future generations, to make them realise Life is all we want it to be and we're not naturally born to be soldiers for the precious life-time consuming meat-grinder ;p

I'm glad you like my statement. But I'm disappointed you think things can't changed.
I'm not talking shit and hold utopian illusions : "utopia" is a bullshit word that the "Newspeak" uses to make people think we can't aim and hope for a better future. Or that life can't be good in general or I don't know... I hate this word.
"Utopia" is a goal we have to try to reach, just trying is enough, for the future of our specy. And some people need to fight for it since most of the population seem resigned to live in absurd conditions, and even let it rott for the next generations.

As Idontrememberwho said, "what's the point of living to work and get money to survive, if all you ever going to do is to keep on working to do the same thing a bit longer". The world is large and awesome; and there are plenty people to share it with - why wasting your only life for a system you don't like? As a living organism, you're supposed to be born free.

I randomly found this video, I thought it'd be a cool add to this discussion.



Cause that's part of the problem, how the way we concieve work makes awful teachers, and how education systems are generally fucked up and push teachers to just "mindlessly"teach.
