How can people possibly know the current formal educational system is flawed when they were nursed by the very same educational system? And how to find the educational system is the super-rich’s weapon when they don’t know the super-rich rule us all.
And I am not talking about pupils, students, and alumni, but also professors who even study the history of the educational system. They don’t seem to see things in the bigger picture.
We have superb theories on how to make the educational system perfect. But how come it is not the way it should be? And I am talking about the West, the developing countries (especially those ruled by religion) have poor-quality educational systems.
Even if we take a look at a highly educated individual, we are nothing but monkeys.
Prehistory of the educational system
Since historians detest any form of mathematics, we have no statistical studies of the historical reason for the creation of the formal educational system. Factor analysis which measures IQ could be helpful. Not only any soft science, needless to say, no hard science.
Since we have no science, so now let’s delve into gossip!
In many ancient civilizations, such as those in Mesopotamia, Egypt, and China, education was primarily focused on teaching skills, religious beliefs, societal norms, and practical knowledge necessary for daily life and social cohesion.
The first reason was religious ones in Europe. They studied religion so they needed formal institutions.
It was also foreign cultural influences that ignited the creation of formal institutions.
The countries wanted to compete with each other and that required an educated population. The wars were more and more driven by technological advancements and nobody could claim semi-literate peasants could do the research.
When I say the education system as the super-rich want, you may object there was no capitalism back then. And you are right!
Back in the Middle Ages, the shadow eminences were royal advisors and counselors, noble families and court factions, religious figures and orders, merchants and guilds, secret societies and cabals, military leaders, and mercenaries.
So we have economic competition and wars. The next is engagement. It was a movement that promoted universal education for everyone. It is also connected to rational inquiry and the whole secular movement.
The current commercial capitalism history of the education system as the super-rich want
Commercial capitalism (16th to 18th centuries) was the rise of merchant capitalism, characterized by private ownership of capital, investment in trade and commerce, and the pursuit of profit through market exchanges.
This also was an emergence of the super-rich new elite that – in a new societal system – started to rule the countries from behind.
There was enormous wealth amassment which was unprecedented in history.
The new elites as the puppet-masters
In modern capitalism, there are tens of thousands (worldwide) of clientelist networks that control politics all around the world.
We have a politician (the face), mover-and-shaker (lobbyist), and crook (stealing the funds). All these three are an inseparable part of Western society’s politics.
And they serve the super-rich families. I would never force my dear readers something unproved, anecdotal, or false. For example – here or here.
You may not believe it but I have talked with many political insiders and they all confirmed my claims.
Why the super-rich want the education system the way it is?
The educational system the super-rich want is done this way in order to have a blind, brainwashed, and manipulated population. And they are really great at it.
The current formal educational system makes you not think, not to question because this could be the end of it.
Literature, physics, chemistry, biology, geography, fairy-tales-like history. Do you really think this can threaten them? Not in any way!
When you tell somebody you are rote-memorizing the movies| spoilers, they would consider you a lunatic.
However, I witnessed the same being done with literature. Something really useful!
Rote-memorizing the books not only won’t make you smarter in terms of IQ but also in terms of intelligence in a broader sense.
What do they fear the most?
Imagine such an educational system where they teach elementary school pupils, high school students, and university students what the political background of politics looks like. What? Suddenly, the population would be aware that politics is not the way they are presented on TV.
Not only teaching them how to kick the lobbyists, crooks, movers-and-shakers, secret services, or even lodges out of politics, but how to control the very politicians. After the scandal, you have to go! You don’t work with the opposition on common issues? You won’t be voted again.
Also, teaching fallacies, cognitive biases, and formal logical errors would make the population so educated that the “common truth” would be found.
What about cloning the smartest people, improving people by the means of DNA? No way!
They say we must cherish those intellectually gifted, but there are many genes associated with high IQ. Implementing them into the embryos? No way!
What should an ideal system look like?
Since I wrote how the educational system the super-rich want, I will write what an ideal system should look like.
Do you know these? Behaviorism, social cognitive theory, neuroscience of learning, constructivism, information processing theory, cognitive learning processes, self-regulation, or motivation? This should be used the most.
Every subject should have its g-load, therefore how it improves the respective parts of the g factor (IQ).
Making your own Access databases, and your own Excel blueprints. Painting is also a good thing for creativity, maybe producing your own music. The school should develop and extend your IQ, creativity, talents, and critical thinking. Team building and emotional quotient may also be useful.
Learning evolutionary biology, evolutionary psychology and some parts of analytic philosophy are key to understanding why we act the way we act.
Conclusion
There are tons of people in our population with very high IQs, the system won’t prevent them from constructing bridges, building, being doctors or operating a nuclear plant.
But the current educational system won’t process them to be citizens, but the sheep.
When we get rid of the patron-client networks in politics and get the super-rich no chance to influence politics, then we could have a really great educational system.
