When you think about a professor or PhD, you think of a really intelligent person...but that's not true.

The PhD level is just somebody who is very good at doing what they're told.

You do what you're told, you get the degree. You don't do what you're told, you don't get the degree.

This is so true. People like to tell you that you don’t know what you’re talking about because you don’t have the “degree” yet those that have one aren’t giving us the information we truly need to be healthy. So what does that truly say about a degree?

Ben, please join me for an episode for my unschooling pod? 😃

I'd love to! Shoot me a DM

Just yesterday I've put out info that I'm teaching music. I'm not the best by far, I didn't finish the musical university by far, but I've been taught music by pro teachers for like 15 years and next to the skill I got terrible rigidity and my own voice disappeared. Because that's what they all wanted, to copy the old school and nothing else, they never dared to think. I'm going the opposite way, adding skill where it shall help the person's individuality, not shaping the person in the name of said skill. I studied pedagogy and am sure half of my classmates wouldn't ever think we can learn somehow differently than by shutting up and blindly copying. Eh.

Education is indoctrination. The more education you have, the less you’re willing to accept information outside of that belief system.

Take doctors for example. Would they prescribe sunlight, fresh air and good nutrition for treatment? No, they would suggest staying isolated at home, wearing a face mask and taking pills and untested intravenous pharmaceutical products instead.
