Michael Noire we were reading some Krishnamurti yesterday in my existentialism class and the article totally slammed the modern educational system. the the guy who was raised to become the Maitreya and then backed out of it? I would think anything he's got to say would be a little bit tinted towards wanting a new world order but wiki seems to says "he urged people to directly discover the underlying causes of the problems facing individuals and society" which sounds good to me.

TrutherMei Michael Noire we were reading some Krishnamurti yesterday in my existentialism class and the article totally slammed the modern educational system. the the guy who was raised to become the Maitreya and then backed out of it? I would think anything he's got to say would be a little bit tinted towards wanting a new world order but wiki seems to says "he urged people to directly discover the underlying causes of the problems facing individuals and society" which sounds good to me. Wiki has this creepy quote from him. Quote: That computer can do almost anything that man can do. It can make all your gods, all your theories, your rituals; it's even better at it than you will ever be. So, the computer is coming up in the world; it's going to make your brains something different. You've heard of genetic engineering; they're trying, whether you like it or not, to change your whole behaviour. That is genetic engineering. They are trying to change your way of thinking. When genetic engineering and the computer meet, what are you? As a human being what are you? Your brains are going to be altered. Your way of behaviour is going to be changed. They may remove fear altogether, remove sorrow, remove all your gods. They're going to; don't fool yourself. It all ends up either in war or in death. This is what is happening in the world actually. Genetic engineering on the one side and the computer on the other, and when they meet, as they're inevitably going to, what are you as a human being? Actually, your brain now is a machine. You are born in India and say: "I'm an Indian". You are encased in that. You are a machine. Please don't be insulted. I'm not insulting you. You are a machine which repeats like a computer. Don't imagine there is something divine in you - that would be lovely - something holy that is everlasting. The computer will say that to you too. So, what is becoming of a human being? What's becoming of you? I found it extremely telling of the present and near future.

the western worlds education system had been backsliding for along time now and georges "no child left behind" bill just made things worse. I graduated with honours and not once did I study, or even pay attention in class. I spent my senior year drawing politically incorrect cartoons on every desk I sat at that year. So yeah it's pretty easy to get a diploma. stare

Alex Jones just had Charlotte Yserbyt (Iserbyt?) on speaking about this. I've watched her video years ago on the dumbing down of children. I have a PDF of her book as well.
It's so sad... and so true.
Between toxins and horrible schooling and banning of books and all the 'entertainment' and media distractions.... ugh.
Reading and talking about what you read with others is definitely the best way to gain skills needed to oppose this.
Read books from the early 1900's; They're so hard to follow because of their amazing language skills.

I find some of those books hard to read because it seems like no one knew what a run-on sentence was back then. I agree that the vocabulary was of a higher caliber. You can find the same thing today if you read more scholarly works though. Just my two cents.

As for reading, lately I've been reading mostly folklore and mythology...As soon as I finish reading "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy, I'm going to be re-reading the Ramayana and the Mahabharata...2 ancient hindu texts. I love being cultured n.n

This is very true. I find myself being the more intelligent than my teachers quite frequently, which is horrifying to think about. Of course, I am one of those people who reads a lot, and I mean old stuff, I'm working Ovid's Metamorphoses right now, and never reads a newspaper or watches the news, so I guess it is to be expected that I am more intelligent than your average person. Of course, the teachers I'm smarter than are usually history teachers and all I really know much about is the ancient world, but you've gotta start somewhere. I've only had 2 teachers that I thought were truly qualified to teach anyone anything, and I usually end up teaching 1/2 the class in history.

there's not really a way around toxins these days, and humanity in general is so stupid that poor schooling has nothing to do with it. I personally think our brains are devolving because we won't let them evolve. saving premaure babies, retards, morons, letting them reproduce, letting bad genes continue, keeping people alive for so long, it's NOT a good thing.
and some times, the distractions are what save you. this is how it worked for me: video games > interest in supernatural > fiction books > noticing recurring things > wondering if they're real > research > greater interest in supernatural > become wiccan > even more research.
as a result of the above, I think it's safe to say i'm about 3x more intelligent than the average teenager. and if you look at my grades you'd think I'm less intelligent. this is because they're teaching us things they want us to know and not teaching us the things they dont. i know about the things they dont. I know the things that cause you to think, create new ideas all your own, and in this world thinking is bad.

ooo, that's the 2nd time tonight i've seen one of your posts and thought we should be friends. I've been meaning to read those, but the book of the dead and the metamorphoses are taking longer than i thought they would

Humans sure are creatures of habit, kind of like sheep we follow the leaders often.
