Education is indoctrination. We don't understand alternatives, when we've spent our lives learning to toe the line.
The reality is that people are linear and goal oriented, while reality is cyclical, circular and feedback generated. So what starts as positive feedback eventually slides into negative feedback and education flips from growing minds to controlling them. If you want to be a cog in the wheel, that's fine, but if that train is headed for the cliff, buried in the hive mind is not the best place to be.
Having spent my life devoutly avoiding anything resembling a formal education, here are some insights on the big three; Time, God and money;
Time; It's not the point of the present, moving past to future, that we experience as mobile organisms navigating our environment, but change turning future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.
There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.
So time is an effect, like temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.
Consciousness goes to the future, as thoughts go to the past.
God; A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. More the new born, than the wise old man.
Monotheism equates to monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. Remember democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures, as they represented the conception of multiculturalism.
Long story, but education=indoctrination.
Money; Money is the social contract enabling mass societies, not a commodity to mine from them. We are these linear, goal oriented creatures in this cyclical, circular reality, so while markets need money to circulate, people see it as the signal to extract and store. Though medium and store are not totally interchangeable. For instance, blood is a medium, while fat is a store. Consider the effects of mixing them up in the body and you will recognize the symptoms of what ails our social body.
Remember that an antelope running with the herd has to be one with the hive mind and can't just stop and scratch its ear. That's belief.
While a squirrel has to listen for every sound and sense every flash in its peripheral vision. That's probabilities.
Sometimes it's better to peel away from the herd, go find a garden and just dig in the dirt. At least until the big reset happens.
We are eternally stuck, fluctuating between synchronization and harmonization. Organisms and ecosystems.
