I never understood why so-called ‘highly intelligent’ people never merely looked at the man-made non-indigenous educational system and realized it is a totally unnatural way for humans to learn, just because we have sophisticated technology does not mean the modern educational construct creates better human beings who are productive members of society if you were ever as privileged as I am to have seen and lived among TRADITIONAL indigenous societies (not the semi-modernized or modernized ones which are just as corrupted as the non-indigenous societies around them) who still use their own natural educational processes – you will quickly notice they have no crime, no homeless people, no addicts, and no mentally unstable children going on murder rampages in their societies (as happens in the USA every month), yet YOU are utterly convinced of the ‘superiority’ of the non-indigenous educational system. Where fools rule ignorance is bliss!
you will quickly see they have no crime, no homeless people, no addicts, and no mentally unstable children….
Er, in the indigenous communities I’ve been around, this is because there is no criminal code, anyone who can’t find a home dies of exposure, addicts exist but it’s either normalized or they become homeless (see 2), and any children who look like they may not be able to support their elders… well, see 1 and 2.
Subsistence living tends to weed out a lot of people modern society keeps alive, because in general we care for each other.
That said, part of my elementary school education was done in an indigenous format, and I wouldn’t have had it any other way. But it wasn’t going to teach me how to operate and survive in today’s global society. It does mean that I could probably survive in the wilderness in a relatively comfortable way (since one of the things I learned how to do was make shelter).
