NOTES ON GATTO’s ANALYSIS OF EDUCATION

Education is a term.

What we do is ritualize.

And having ritualized we Indoctrinate.

In groups we submit to the pack.

We are conditioned from infancy not to see or relate the truth.

The first step in education is mistrust everything you think.

And to mistrust everything you are told.

And to mistrust increasingly any authority.

School removes your volition.

we are wage slaves because it is cheaper.

we are told to memorize because we’re able to be obedient.

we are indoctrinated because it is cheaper.

This does not produce people who have to adapt to changing circumstances in reality – especially our reality.

We are not taught how to question and inquire and criticize.

Harvard and Princeton accept you based on your potential to become rich or famous. they’re looking for people who add value to those around them. Hobbies are the only honest information in a resume that you are likely to get. How does someone spend their time when they have the choice? “Ideally someone has all Intellectual, Social, and Physical hobbies, where the physical should not be a team sport. We prefer solo hobbies that require physical danger.”

Smart people succeed IN SPITE of our education, not because of it.

Our nation has been ‘schooled to the point of extinction’.

Nation comes however, not from school, but from the family.

We have no non-rhetorical concern for one another.

We have evolved an economy that depends upon constant individualism, mobility, competition, conflict, and warfare.

Authoritarian and eQUALitarian (Feminine and Jewish) – fear of conflict and risk / desire for security and predictability

-vs-

Libertarian and eGALitarian (Male and Aryan) – fear of being controlled / desire for opportunity and liberty.

-and therefore-

Both masculine and feminine interests are just reproductive expressions.

As reproductive expressions
