RE: Freedom From The Collective Delusion: Reclaiming The Cognitive Map
I have turned off my television and have not followed sports, entertainment - movies, music, contests etc. just to cleanse myself of decades of brainwashing.
To turn the society around, it needs to start from the bottom - in schools - people need to have freedom to attend the school of his / her choice based on merits and not based on financial factors or who you know. The choices must include home-schooling.
However, the powers that is in control will not allow that. They have too much invested in the indoctrination camps - the school system - ncluding the universities.
In some professions, the schools and universities are already showing to be incapable of keeping up with new technologies and the innovators and early adopters are mostly self taught or validated through some certification of their skills. This should be applied to a broader set of skills and education - starting with the basics: mathematics, logic, and critical thinking.
