I'm with Sir hackenslash. Educating our kids to be sophisticated parrots is not a good state of affairs.
How do we get our kids to question science (or, its worth), question culture (the brainwashing thereof), question anything, if 'education' amounts to naught but memorising 'facts' and embracing one's culture?
This will go down like a lead balloon, here, but the only way we can get kids to think for themselves is to make philosophy as important as reading & writing (and maths) at school... even at a young age (say 10+).
Of course, this would piss most parents off, since most parents do equate intelligence with knowledge and sophistication with cultural compliance. But, fuck 'em.
Il messaggero non e importante.
Ora non e importante.
Il resultato futuro e importante.
Quindi, persisto.
