Ken Robinsons says school kills creativity.

alawys something to blame

Just remembered this from a couple of weeks back

Bill Gates: In Five Years The Best Education Will Come From The Web

they should just force free-to-watch online porn sites to run 30 second educational spots before your clip starts:

"Did you know: deontology is a system of ethics based on rules, not consequences. For info on teleological ethical theories, click here. Otherwise enjoy your clip from 'Spit Roasting Sarah Marshall' "

sometimes i just pay prostitutes to read derrida's structure, sign and play to me while i tweak my nipples and arc cum into their hair

getting education from the web will be like getting it from wikipedia. unless you're on some super legit site or already know what's hogwash and what's not.

i think it's entirely possible, but i don't think a large portion of the population will really take advantage of it, like now. how many people use the interwabble for education? and of those people, how much time is spent on education vs email/facebook/watmm? not saying those 3 things can't be educational, but it is more likely that they are not.

when you come to internet FOR education you'll have no trouble getting it imo, at the very least it'll serve as an excellent starting point.

wikipedia is actually very good for the fact that you are aware of the forces that are shaping it right from the start, which is extremely important i think, it's not usually the case with the orthodox education.

fuck ken robinson

yes that's a good point. history is full of fabricated shit. doubt is a good thing to instill in children imo

Doubt can become a fixation rather than an orientation to the world. The elite need to be isolated and trained in the image of Curious George.

Might want to look out for a new documentary called Waiting for superman. I haven't seen it but it's supposed to be pretty good.

is it a documentary about cripples, superman or satan?

wikipedia is a horrible example - edits can be made anonymously. Do you have any idea who edits the wikis about Japanese-Korean historical relations, for example?

there are great places to find education on the net though - MIT's opencourseware, oregon state has lots of books online, for example Hobbes' "The Leviathan" (which should be required reading for understanding modern governments), the TED talks are an excellent place to draw inspiration...and so on...

It's about a group of cripples stranded on a mountain. Basically a commentary on how they should have been able to think their way out of the situation but due to the rigid schooling they had endured, it was a sit and pray scenario.

im to cool for school

those hot topics are exactly what i had in mind actually mainly because of their lively discussion pages, it's the quiet ones im wary of. topics like that are constantly scrutinized and discussed, the anonymous edits get their attention, there are numerous ideas, paradigms, references and so on. you won't get that kind of interactive and live "behind the scenes" of the books you might be reading, at least not with such ease.

And citing sources is still a requirement anyway, if you put up your own assertions it will be flagged. You can't flag a book that claims to be factual as 'citation needed' or 'neutrality disputed'. Strikes me as a little more honest somehow... Especially when it comes to political hot-topics.

In any case, there's still a lot of great information on Wikipedia. A lot of the science articles for example are very well written and useful.
