“The Herculean effort to struggle to come to an understanding of something alone, without mature guidance and the fellowship of other stumbling souls is more than most can bear. This is what angers me about the glib soundbites in praise of the ‘freedom’ for individuals to simply learn alone via internet study.” Absolutely! This is perfectly expressed and I have many examples I could cite to support it.
I got involved early on with ed tech while a student and teacher at Arizona State, they are a prime example and forerunner of the globalist education program. But it was very much a bait-and-switch, I now understand nearly 2 decades later. At the center of our discussions back then were privacy, saving the liberal arts from ‘the Crow’ (the new president at that time in charge of the transformation), and focusing on students who were already prime for such an environment--it was about serving a ‘niche’ group as I understood it, not at all about forcing it down the throats of the western world at the point of a (literal!) needle!
Anyway, thanks for the work, nice to find you and expand my horizons further.
Thank you Mishelle. It’s very interesting that, with hindsight, you see the bait & switch. If you don’t mind me asking; what was your catalyst for recognizing the true nature of that? What was your ‘glitch in the matrix’ moment & how did that develop into further insight on discerning the Motte from the Bailey? The packaging from the product? Thank you for your comments.
I’m glad to share and appreciate your interest! I think for me it was more of a dissolving of illusions. I was canceled from my first blog platform as soon as I started talking ‘conspiracy theory’ -- that was many years before the convid. After my perplexity (and outrage) I really examined my past influences and so much fell into place, supported by what I was learning from others online. I revisited this not too long ago in a blog post, if you’re curious to know more. It’s been quite a journey.
Many thanks for sharing that experience & analysis. I hope other readers will click on your link.
Idealism is one of the deepest pathogens in our soil. I didn’t have time to go into that on The Reason We Learn in this instance, but it does need to be unpacked regarding our susceptibilities and what’s necessary for our immunity to it.
Highly relevant for everyone now👇from your insights:
‘ What I actually learned in my service from the Czech people, and tried to bring back home to fulfill the 3rd goal was categorical rejected by the current day Peace Corps: suspicion of government, especially volunteering; the critical importance of life skills; self-reliance over government reliance; local aid over foreign aid; and in fact, a good dose of paranoia, which was rampant among the Czechs, and would be wisely adopted by the majority of U.S. in the present times.’
