Theme: Reform

The problems with educational pseudoscience are not less than:

1) Teaching needs to be professionalized, and as a second career, with demonstrated life experience, demonstrated parenting, and demonstrated success.

2) Teaching needs to convert from instruction to game playing, which means ‘automating’, with teachers serving as referee, and coach not instructor. We must automate education in the sense that it is cheap to produce ‘large scale simulations and games’

3) Developing Harmony under Adversarialism is more important than developing harmony at the cost of adversarialism.

4) Grooming, Dress, and Manners; grammar, vocabulary, and diction; natural law (ethics and morals) and economics, are as important as math and reading. Most of what is taught today is secular religion and it’s a sick religion.

5) IQ and Consciousness are equally influential. As surprising as it may seem, the living environment or education has no impact on general intelligence in adulthood. They only way to improve demonstrated intelligence in the absence of IQ is through general knowledge(IQ), and ritual(conscientiousness). Both general knowledge and ritual produce mindfulness. The optimum mindfulness is epicureanism (joy within your means), stoicism (continuous self-authoring), sport (public positive adversarialism), civic projects (public participatory production of commons), and civic festivals (public participatory holidays). (My favorite example is responsibility for the sidewalk and street in front of your home.)

6) We need to harmonize all knowlege through operationalism and the gramamrs so that we learn all knowledge all action all of the universe is a contiuum of very simple rules. this will ensure that every field is equally accessible to every person, and taht the environment saturates individuals with that knoweldge rather than conflicts with it.

7) History is the skeleton upon which education is crafted with the clay of knowlege..
