“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.
