In this episode of @mineralshaman uncensored, we examine the surprising origins of modern education and question whether this centuries-old system serves today's learners.
This episode examines:
1. The Prussian origins of compulsory education and its focus on creating compliant workers
2. Alexander Inglis's six functions of schooling that reveal its underlying purpose
3. The role of industrialists like Carnegie and Rockefeller in shaping American education
4. Alternative approaches and success stories outside traditional schooling
5. John Taylor Gatto's critique and vision for open-source learning
From our investigation: "It's not about treating symptoms or following conventional wisdom. This system wasn't designed to foster creativity or critical thinking - it was engineered to create a specific type of citizen. Understanding its true origins helps us envision better alternatives."
