RE: Education is the Solution... .:. Late Night Blogging
I have found somewhere in a study that the education and intelligence of humans in general, were at their peak 30-40 years ago... Lately, we are going down, and in my opinion, the main cause is centralized media and institutions that are forcing ONE side of the story... Without having a choice, there is no balance, there is no competition... We are converting into robots that are doing the same things over and over...
Decentralization, freedom of choice, censorship-free society... Those things push us forward... Without that, our society is degrading year by year...

Honestly? That's not very surprising for me. For example, when I think about my work colleagues and their lunch conversations... there's really only Netflix.
It seems to me that most people lack the ability to sit down for half an hour and concentrate on reading and cognitively processing something.
Yes the media plays a sad role in this drama, but it's also the consumers. I'm not sure which came first - the old problem of hen and egg - but that's not important. We should try to cultivate a new culture, we as parents live this out for our children.
A completely different topic, but have you ever looked at how much cheap junk a lot of people surround themselves with by their own free will?
Let's take a simple example: a pen. I hate those cheap things that don't work right after just 2x writing, so a couple of years ago I bought a decent pen for about $60. I will probably never have to buy a pen again in my life because I bought once quality. We could continue this at will... Clothes, shoes, furniture, etc.
Do we really want our children to live in a world of cheap throwaway junk?
All this also has to do with education. And of course with culture, but what do I know.
Enjoy your weekend!
