AGGRESSIVE EDUCATION (part 1)

"The mind, when extended with a new idea, never regains its original size."

Sharing knowledge has great potential. Most people ignore new knowledge contrary to their beliefs, but some will get inspired, wake up from the state of vegetation, or start paying attention to something they have never thought about before. This is how the grain of change arises, which, sown even on the other end of the world, even for one person, can change her whole life. The need for sharing wisdom can create an avalanche of change that will cover obsolete beliefs which no longer serve the human kind.
It is the desire to share information that always creates a revolutionary group of inspired and awakened activists changing the world.

Melting taboos and awakening mankind from the pride of past achievements creates room for further human evolution.
Our reality is constant change and even the "smartest" politicians will not stop it.
The ability to recognize ones limitations is the gateway to developing and discovering the truth in yourself. In time, we will be able to see things that we could not imagine so far.
I have been stretching my mind for a while now and I know that limiting education to formal education is a vicious circle, and often serves people only to pump up their monkey pride.
Doctors or professors, that are the best "repeaters" of long discovered knowledge are ready to get offended when we do not call them an eminent master, professor or doctor. The hierarchy of "wise men" issuing these scientific titles would rather die before acknowledging or even recognizing that this knowledge that gives them status of an intellectual is often a stake of archaic farts. In this way, the academic world; our cradle of education, is ruled by the conviction that we already know how the world works and only a few puzzles are missing to match this delusion. There is still no place for the likes of mocked Copernicus.
The confrontation of a new idea with that hardened world, or a church in the case of Copernicus, is condemned to contempt, ridicule, aggressive denial, and then it usually becomes an obvious fact.
That is why today, real education usually consists of what we will learn.
This is not an easy process. It requires a recognition that all this time invested in obsolete knowledge was wasted by the illusion painted by the herd and its pressure on social status. Paradoxically, it is the education that stops people from learning.
Today, almost all of us have access to all of humanity's knowledge at a click. Are most schools of today only to tell everyone what they want to learn and when you repeat what they say, you get those magic letters before your name that automatically raise our status in society and make us a better human? Is it perhaps whoever does not know how to be useful to society, and out of narcissism wants to rule "the inferior"? Isn't this how the authorities of primitive, proud apes arise? From doctors, through judges to kings of narcissistic morons; the politicians, what makes a normal human different from them is most of all a lower level of arrogance.
Already in the nursery I learned that the teacher is always right. It was rude to question the authority. In primary school, I learned that the one who competes best for the dictator's liking has the best marks and gets best rewards.
After 12 years of government indoctrination camp I learned to sing different hymns and odes; some about the line of political jurisdiction colloquially known as a country, and some odes to a rag on a stick called a flag... I learned by heart how to be proud of things I did not achieve and the difference between "my people" and those from behind the line.
My home was not much better. "You have to go to college" - I've heard always and honestly, in order to be better than those who did not go to college, I knew that that this was the best way. "You will end up like this if you do not get good grades" - another favorite saying of my parents pointing at the garbageman.

A mind, limited by the indoctrination of the herd, after obtaining the status invented by people who long ago have stopped learning, is prepared to look for more authority.
