Skye's Vent: Personal

…than what happens to your mind after going through the education system. I mean, aside from the cliche about “molding young minds” the education systems set limitations on an infinite amount of knowledge, on an infinite amount of subjects. In short, education systems rob us of the human ambition.

Lets think about this here for a second… Do you know, down to the part names and connections, how the hell you are reading this on a punch of plastic pieces, with lights on the inside (computer)? Someone knows, multiple people know, and they learned it all themselves. Why don’t I know that? Why is xy over 35.7 times 10 to the eight power more important than how to budget or about the composition behind the different types of finches on the Galapagos Islands?

There are so many mind blowing things out there in the world today, and were all stuck here learning how to be obedient, following rules like raise your hand when you want to talk and wait for me to call on you. Well, if I’ve got something to say, you can bet I’ll write it on a poster and show it, with or without your recognition.

Sit down, for hours at a time, take in all of this information that you’ll barely ever touch, fill your brain up with the most simple and monotonous things that can be learned and obey everything I say. I will show you information you won’t care about, and I won’t ask you what you want to know. Just make sure you know this and can replicate it so you can say you’re “Smart.”

~~Fuuuuccckkk that~~. Go outside in the middle of the night and look at the stars in the sky, and the planets and moons. Go learn about that! We need to know more about topics like that! Screw this, healthcare for all, you need to be a politician to do anything bullshit.

Do not rely on the education system to be your guide for learning. Find something you love and dive right in to each and every way that sport, animal, problem or moon and figure out how it all works. Be a free thinker, with no guidelines, no requirements of knowledge, and be completely immersed in a field that you make and can call home.
