RE: Stop Teaching Students WHAT to Think. Teach Them HOW to Think.
I'll read the article later, but the title alone was worth an upvote and follow.
The most important traits for people to have in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable world are going to be adaptability, creativity, and resilience. Teaching people how to access and unleash the power of their own brains is of paramount importance.
I agree with your comment. We need to break away from the same old model in which the few profit from the efforts and the creativity of the many. This is why a site like Steemit is so attractive. No matter what one earns on a post, it is more than was given to them by those on Facebook or Reddit.
Society, as a whole, needs to embrace and expand this idea.
Thank you, and followed back as well. I hope for our own sake that we can begin to teach kids how to think for themselves instead of how to obey authority.
The Pledge of Allegiance and this whole sports debacle around the national anthem and flag makes me cringe. People have absolutely been conditioned. I remember once in high school when I went to a Rage Against the Machine concert, and they brought out the flag, turned it upside down, and spray painted an anarchy "A" on it and I remember feeling uneasy about it. So deep the indoctrination goes that even at a RATM concert, that gave me pause. It's insane to make 5 year olds do the pledge.
