I’d Love to Change the World, Part 2

The only real way to change the world is through education. But unfortunately, the government (via public schools) and religious institutions (churches, mosques, etc.), have an unofficial, but clearly evident monopoly on education.

As I see it, there are two ways to break this monopoly. First, get rid of public education. If I had kids, the last thing I’d want is to have Big MoFoBro educating them, filling their minds with Statist propaganda. Just as there should be separation of Church and State and Economy and State, likewise there should also be separation of Education and State.

Second, develop a prototypical educational program, online, and properly educate the world for free. Donations of course would be accepted. And those who could afford to pay would, hopefully, voluntarily do so. A prototypical educational program would be copied by many, and in time, this new radical and revolutionary educational system would become the new norm.

Religious institutions, being private, have every right to freely teach whatever they like, but by providing the masses with an enlightened basis – lessons on how to think rationally, logically, and undogmatically -- most of these institutions would, in time, lose most of their followers. Students taught the Perennial Philosophy, Real Meditation (Plugged-in Presence), and Aristotelian logic would naturally opt for a Way of Life that was exclusive of conventional, parochial, blind-faith religion and religious institutions.

Next week, I’ll write more on this important subject of education.
