  • @MMAoracle The problem is critical thinking skills are not taught or even stressed from K-12. Philosophy should be taught early on because it is the basis for all knowledge and can give students a new way of looking at problems. I wouldn't say our education system is a grand conspiracy, but it needs to be reformed.

  • Very much like George Carlin's views.

  • He's so right. And it's getting worse. Thank German philosophy for the mess of our schools and culture in general!!

  • @pananouthakis

    How can it not be a grand conspiracy? With all the information available to humanity, after thousands of years of the men with the greatest minds having left us their thoughts in print, and with so much that is known about how individuals learn and grow, how and why have those charged with creating curricula have come up with the current system of left-brain, stifling education, as if it was the best that they could do?

    The system is intentionally lame. It has to be.

  • Great guy, speaking the truth.

    Home school your kids, everybody, while you still can!

  • some of the best Frank quotes right here. No Zappa and now no Hitchens, who's in the spotlight to call em like they are now?

  • I don't think we are supposed to apply critical thinking or criticize the system.

  • @PGspeed88 do you mean in tearms of population 10:1 ? or economy? or elected representatives? It's 12 years in a cookie cutter to me

  • It also actually kills any divergent thinking ability. Which is key to invention and creativity. you can search 'RSA animate changing education paradigms' to watch a video more about that.

  • @jmack619

    Maybe for you, but if you haven't noticed:

    America>Canada.

  • grade 1 to 12 = 12 years of brainwashing .. in north america
