This video feels like it says a lot without saying anything at all.

@refik13203 One man does not need education to become emphatic. You are either stupid or chained in cliches or something other more mysterious - academic education system has nothing to do with this, unless, you count meditation and gaining self and other awareness as 'education'.

@tehalynn Really???? You STILL can't follow it?!?!? They are drawing PICTURES of what he's saying, and you STILL can't keep up. Unbelievable.

@refik13203 If you haven't already, check out Sir Ken Robinsons speeches at TED.. Very interesting and extremely funny..

@seeget I see your point. I do have a tendency to jump to conclusions, and I did certainly enjoy a new perspective. Thank you.

@refik13203 no its the fact that it changed that it is flawed. the idea of standard education, which is new, will educate everyone the same way is wrong. students feel that they only need to learn this much and the teachers only have to teach this much. teachers and students used to connect with eachother and students learned so much more about life and hard work. because you learned from the same people while teaching your younger class mates. schools are flawed yes, but not bc they are old.

thank you! regarding your remark that violence has been decreasing over time (with certain exceptions) - as foucault pointed out, our violences do not decrease, they just take on different forms. so, in fact, "person-to-person violence" might have decreased in general, but violence and suffering (through poverty, war, incarceration, debt, inadequate healthcare, decreasing protection of labor etc.) has only increased. i am not as sure as you that we are wired to be empathic. i hope i'm wrong.

@cwill0122 : Not only did he not say so, he actually cautioned you against misinterpreting his ideas in this way. He is talking about drawing ethics from ideas of humanism, rather than relying solely on the orthodoxies of science, market and bureaucracy.
I think the reason we cannot actually think and advance to the so called "21st century thinking" is because our schools and education system is so FLAWED. The whole school system was built in the 17th and 18th century and it has not changed since then! Imagine if you were still using some piece of technology from that time, you would be at a huge disadvantage in today society. That is what we face, a huge disadvantage since our education system is completely ancient.

If the writing preceded the speaking instead of the other way around, and the video was slowed down just a bit, I think I'd have a much easier time following it.
