RE: There are so many fake things on Earth, and the education system is one of them
Thanks a lot for your contribution to my post ! I'm glad someone inside the system adds a view. This is true, we need a real change. But from top to bottom. And we're all responsible for it. I'm glad you're courageous enough to be a teacher; I just can't do it. I prefer trying to find a direct way to change this system once and for all. But the main thing is only powerful people can do it. My actions have to have a direct, important impact on this system. Technology is one of the most powerful ways. We can all learn many things by ourselves on youtube and free pdf courses now. In any field. It should inspire us all to get more and more powerful because knowledge is power really. And once we have enough power we can change it. But the sheep will stay sheep. Some parents will keep on acting like that.
No worries. I often shut up because it's hard being the brunt of 'i hated school' conversations. I'm a bloody nice person who loves working with teenagers and I do my best to lead by example and be kind and compassionate and help them out as much as I can, and most of my colleagues are the same. I was a teacher because I had a good experience at school and I loved teaching, I think I was born to teach in some capacity (just became a yoga teacher, which I'm now teaching at the school). Are you in circles that have the POWER to change education? We can say we hate it all we like but fuck if you can do something to change it then that would be amazing. Tech is powerful I agree. Problem is most people are only reading the first 2 searches on Google. I try to teach kids how to find information that's not fed to them by corporations, politics, total bias. It amazes them. They want to know this stuff. So I'm still doing my bit. A lot of universities are looking at open learning and recognising that an entry SCORE to uni isn't everything. I think they are slightly more ahead than schools. A lot of kids do need some direction - let's be honest, if I was told to watch some you tube videos to learn stuff at 14 I would have ended up watching surfing videos. You need a degree of self motivation. Thanks for engaging xx
It depends, I don't need any type of degree linked with motivation, maybe some lazyass types need it, but one of my biggest strengths is the fact I never needed to be motivated, I just did what I had to do to become an engineer, and I guess I might end up getting more and more powerful until the day, very soon, when I manage changing it all. My purpose has always been strong, so when you have a strong purpose, you don't need motivation. You just do things. And you keep doing them. My purpose right now is very strong. It is fucking up the system in any way I can. Because it has to be like that. I just try to learn any kind of knowledge I can to gather more and more money to be powerful, because money is power, we can only say that. Be the most productive I can be. Too much hypocrisy. Too much self-destruction.
I just don't want to pretend I'm happy with that kind of shit happening around me. It's my attitude. No one will change it. Sometimes you have to become worse than the people you hated to get over them. Generally speaking, we live in a very naive world too, a naive world dominated by hate and self-destruction where people try to have the "peace and love" naive talks even when everything's falling apart around them. Bullshit mentality. You have to be badass to succeed in this world; or you're gonna be disappointed forever. It's the dictatorship of fake happiness and people generating new people to create families and have an ounce of fake happiness to have less fears because of the things they can't change; I've summed it all up; but I don't wanna flee what I hate with that fake "peace and love" attitude. I just wanna confront the things I hate in this world, I'm like that :D
Hey the world needs people like you for sure!!! GO forth and conquer!!! We need allsorts. Me, I am a peace and love kinda girl (though believe me I can get bolshy and resist with a good force when i do!) .. but the world needs that too.. the real stuff, not the fake stuff for sure...
Thanks, it's all in the mind, when you have so much hate towards a system, you can't know how motivated it gets you to learn new hacking tips, new knowledge, anything you can take to manage getting to what you want, any day that passes I'm just sick of expecting things instead of just doing them the right way. I'd follow my motivation to hell.
I'm taking you as my inspiration... sometimes I just throw my hands in the air tbh
that's great, we all need inspirations, my inspirations are Ayn Rand and Friedrich Nietzsche.
