Unfortunately, being well educated is synonymous with being thoroughly indoctrinated.
Being well read in science, economics, and history can avoid that problem.
The enlightenment was a failure because it merely tried to justify a change in power, and as such was incomplete. There was nothing wrong with the Anglo model other than our failure to understand it.

Charter schools are outliers. Usually traditionalists, ‘churchies’ and hippies.

As far as we know, it’s all genetics and children require only one hour of school per day plus reading time.

The number of hours you have to spend mastering any art of the hand (drawing, etching, painting, sculpture) is daunting. Which is why it matters so much that you start before age 10 or so. Then by the time you’re 18 or 20 you have enough manual skill to produce something that requires thoughtful design.
This is really the reason that I didn’t go into the arts. I was happy with drawing (black and white), but I couldn’t imagine a life that ‘isolated’ (what some craftsmen consider relaxing). And worse, at the time, the art world was still engaged in the last throws of pop/minimalism.
I was far more interested in the history of art, and the theory of art, than I was in the construction of it.

Humor, clownishness, and silliness are just a shield to defend against engaging
Humor, clownishness, and silliness are just a shield to defend against engaging in the stupidity of others, and avoiding the effort of correction and education.
Common people both appreciate simple humor, and they don’t carry the burden of the academy’s pseudo religion. Nor do they believe in the benevolence of government.
Smart people try to signal it and it’s difficult to just ignore their stupidity and programming. Simple people talk about simple things and it’s just less frustrating to be around them. And they tend to appreciate it if you explain something interesting to them.
So that is why I enjoy the company of the common people. It’s emotionally rich and it’s less polluted with the signaling of the cathedral. And so I don’t feel the constant need to defend the informational commons.

There is a difference between being educated and well read. I loved my education
There is a difference between being educated and well read. I loved my education. But I am just well read. I don’t consider myself well educated. Possibly the opposite. And it is apparent to me that jayman, hbdchick, and I could never work in the academy. Look what happened to Hoppe and McDonald.
I’ve been pondering today how to talk about the differences in decidability at each level of argument. And how this relates to each deviation in intelligence.
People make the arguments they can. They understand the arguments they can.
People practice the ethics they can. Because those are the ethics they understand.
The information in these different methods may be indifferent. But the information required of individuals increases. And the information in the method of a regiment decreases.
Ergo simple people need myth and highly knowledgeable people need theory or formula.
This statement is expressing able as a mathematical relationship where the individual’s information, induvidual’s ability, and argumentative information vary proportionally.
