fundamental resource.”

for everyone and
greater strength for our nation.” (John

bliss until it hits you in the face.

The real education is the one that
will set you free.

You can’t be a great teacher if you stop
being a student. We are all

students for life. To stop learning is to stop living.

Supposedly we know and don’t purposely
suppress the truth, our education is neither inefficient nor
irresponsible, and there is no rampant ignorance and irreligion,
consequently, whoever is intelligent,
educated and presumably honest should in all fairness be allowed
to publish his arguments against current doctrine. (John
Milton)

Areopagitica is a 1644 prose
polemic by John Milton,
which was about opposing licensing and censorship, and defending

not certain, they do not refer to reality.  (Albert

“The great academic tradition of knowing
more and more about less and less until we
know everything about
nothing.”

The traditional argument that mass education
was necessary for intelligent participation in political
democracy and that it must extend beyond the common school was
heard in discussions regarding high schools, libraries, and

chautauquas, which was an adult education and social
movement in the United States, highly popular in the late 19th
and early 20th centuries.

A popular government, without popular
information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a
farce or tragedy, or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern
ignorance, and a people that mean to be their own governors must
arm themselves with the power that knowledge brings. (James
Madison)

“The essential aim of…the most democratic
movements we have is to train ourselves, to learn how to use the
work of experts, to find our will, to educate our will, to
integrate our wills…it is of equal
importance with the discovery of facts to know what to do with
them..in politics we do not keep these different kinds of
information apart…”

Mary Parker Follett, Creative
experience, 1924.

If higher education is to become a civic
learning organization it will mean giving conscious attention to
the public and productive qualities of the creation and
diffusion of knowledge. Putting the “public” back into public
universities means multiplying public spaces, where people with
diverse views can wrestle with controversial issues.
It means keeping knowledge creation public, open, and accessible
– resisting trends toward the
privatization and patenting of knowledge.

“Let the
tutor not merely require a verbal account of what the boy has
been taught but the meaning and the substance of it: let him
judge how the child has profited from it not from the evidence
of his memory but from that of his life. Let him take what the
boy has just learned and make him show him dozens of different
aspects of it and then apply it to just as many different
subjects, in order to find out whether he has really grasped it
and make it part of himself, judging the boy’s progress by what
Plato taught about education. Spewing up food exactly as you
have swallowed it is evidence of a failure to digest and
assimilate it; the stomach has not done its job if, during
concoction, it fails to change the substance and the form of
what it is given.” 
(Michel
de Montaigne)

To educate a person in mind and
not in morals is to educate a menace to society.”
(Teddy
Theodore Roosevelt)

“The teacher who is indeed wise
does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather

his future life.” (Plato)

dogmatizes, and inspires his listener with the wish to teach
himself.” (Edward

(Diogenes
La Brtius)

You learn something every day if you pay attention. (Ray LeBlond)

A self-governing society cannot
endure if its citizens are not virtuous.

Some say that my teaching is
nonsense. Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves, this nonsense
makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice, this loftiness has roots
that go deep.
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience,
compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts, you return to the source of
being.
Patient with both friends and enemies, you accord with the way
things are.
Compassionate toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in the
world. (Tao
Te Ching)

In a time of drastic change it is
the learners who inherit the future, the learned usually find
themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
(Eric
Hoffer) – Reflections on the Human
Condition.

The purpose of learning is
growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing
as we continue to live.
(Mortimer

world to live more
amply, with greater vision,

achievement. (Woodrow
Wilson)

“No one has yet
realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity
hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true
education should be to unlock that treasure.” (Emma
Goldman)

“The only purpose of
education is to teach a student how to live his life-by
developing his mind and equipping him to deal with reality. The
training he needs is theoretical, i.e., conceptual. He has to be
taught to think, to understand, to integrate, to prove. He has
to be taught the essentials of the knowledge discovered in the
past-and he has to be equipped to acquire further knowledge by
his own effort.” (Ayn
Rand)

“The aim of
education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what
to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to
think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts
of other men.”  (Bill Beattie)

“The one real object of education is to leave a man in the
condition of continually asking questions.” (Bishop
Mandell Creighton)

“What gets measured,
gets done.” (Tom
Peters)

“Integrity without
knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity
is dangerous and dreadful.” (Samuel
Johnson)

The supreme end of
education is expert discernment in all things – the power to
tell the good from
the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the
good and the genuine to the bad and
the counterfeit. (Samuel
Johnson)

“The central job of schools is to maximize the capacity
of each student.” (Carol
Ann Tomlinson)

“Instead of being
havens of independent thought, universities have become channels
of indoctrination…confirming the prejudices of those who control
the agenda of public discourse. Behind its ivy-colored
camouflage, American higher education is a fraud—untrue to its
students, untrue to itself.”  (Ralph Bennett)

Success is the
ability to go from failure to failure without losing your
enthusiasm.
(Winston
Churchill)

We must take change by the hand
or rest assuredly, change will take us by the throat.
(Winston
Churchill)

The word

education comes from the Latin
e-ducere meaning “to lead out.” 
In ancient Greece, Socrates argued that education is about
drawing out what was already within the student.

No man is an Island.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece
of the continent, a part of the main;
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well
as if a promontory were,
as well as a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any
man’s death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to
know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. (John
Donne)

McNamara Fallacy is the tendency to make the measurable
important rather then making the important measurable.

Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often
we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be
teaching them to grow their own plants. (John
W. Gardner)

Did you know
America ranks the lowest in education but the highest in drug
use? It’s nice to be number one, but we can fix that. All we
need to do is start the war on education. If it’s anywhere near
as successful as our war on drugs, in no time we’ll all be
hooked on phonics. (Leighann
Lord)

If a doctor, lawyer, or dentist
had 40 people in his office at one time, all of whom had
different needs, and some of whom didn’t want to be there and
were causing trouble, and the doctor, lawyer, or dentist,
without assistance, had to treat them all with professional
excellence for nine months, then he might have some conception
of the classroom teacher’s job. (Donald D. Quinn)

Education’s purpose is to replace an empty mind with an open
one. (Malcolm
Forbes)

Education would be much more
effective if its purpose was to ensure that by the time they
leave school every boy and girl should know how much they do not
know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it. (William
Haley)

Why should society feel
responsible only for the education of children, and not for the
education of all adults of every age?
(Erich
Fromm)

He who opens a school door,
closes a prison. (Victor
Hugo)

Education is a better safeguard
of liberty than a standing army. (Edward
Everett)

expensive, try ignorance. (Attributed to both Andy McIntyre &

prepare the young to educate themselves throughout their lives. (Robert
Maynard Hutchins)

The object of teaching a child is
to enable him to get along without his teacher.
(Elbert
Hubbard)

Get over the idea that only
children should spend their time in study. Be a student so long
as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all
your life. (Henry L. Doherty)

Learning is a lifetime process, but there comes a time when we
must stop adding and start updating. (Robert Brault)

“Film is one of the three
universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music” (Frank

better, it’s not.

Be the change you wish to see in the world. (Mahatma

The earth has enough for everyone’s needs, but
not enough for everyone’s greed. (Mahatma
Gandhi)

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how
the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have
done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in
the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who
strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again,
because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who
knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends
himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end,
the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he
fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place
shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither
victory nor defeat. (Teddy
Theodore Roosevelt,
1910)

The truly human society is a learning society,
where grandparents, parents, and children are students
together.”

not saying.” (Gilbert Keith Chesterton)

“Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months.” (Anthony J. D’Angelo)

Thomas Jefferson Quotes

Education has two

Educating the People

An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper
functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible
unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to
exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation
see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its
citizens. It should be noted, that when Jefferson speaks of
“science,” he is often referring to knowledge or learning in
general.

“I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society
but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened
enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion,
the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their
discretion

“Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the
people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only
safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds
must be improved to a certain degree.”
–Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:207

“The most effectual means of preventing [the perversion of power
into tyranny are] to illuminate, as far as practicable, the
minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them
knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that possessed
thereby of the experience of other ages and countries, they may
be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to
exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes.” –Thomas
Jefferson: Diffusion of Knowledge Bill, 1779. FE 2:221, Papers
2:526

“The information of the people at large can alone make them the
safe as they are the sole depositary of our political and
religious freedom.” –Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 1810.
ME 12:417

“The diffusion of information and the arraignment of all abuses
at the bar of public reason, I deem [one of] the essential
principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those
which ought to shape its administration.” –Thomas Jefferson:
1st Inaugural Address, 1801. ME 3:322

“Though [the people] may acquiesce, they cannot approve what
they do not understand.” –Thomas Jefferson: Opinion on
Apportionment Bill, 1792. ME 3:211

No Freedom Without Education

“If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of
civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816. ME 14:384

“Convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of
their own iberty, and that they are not safe unless enlightened
to a certain degree, I have looked on our present state of
liberty as a short-lived possession unless the mass of the
people could be informed to a certain degree.” –Thomas
Jefferson to Littleton Waller Tazewell, 1805.

“No nation is permitted to live in ignorance with impunity.”
–Thomas Jefferson: Virginia Board of Visitors Minutes, 1821. ME
19:408

“Freedom [is] the first-born daughter of science.” –Thomas
Jefferson to Francois D’Ivernois, 1795. ME 9:297

“Light and liberty go together.” –Thomas Jefferson to Tench
Coxe, 1795.

“Above all things I hope the education of the common people will
be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely
with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of
liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Madison
Version FE 4:480

Education and Republican Government

“[I have] a conviction that science is important to the
preservation of our republican government, and that it is also
essential to its protection against foreign power.” –Thomas
Jefferson to —–, 1821. ME 15:340

“There are two subjects, indeed, which I shall claim a right to
further as long as I breathe: the public education, and the
sub-division of counties into wards. I consider the continuance
of republican government as absolutely hanging on these two
hooks.” –Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1814. ME 14:84

“The value of science to a republican people, the security it
gives to liberty by enlightening the minds of its citizens, the
protection it affords against foreign power, the virtue it
inculcates, the just emulation of the distinction it confers on
nations foremost in it; in short, its identification with power,
morals, order and happiness (which merits to it premiums of
encouragement rather than repressive taxes), are considerations
[that should] always [be] present and [bear] with their just
weight.” –Thomas Jefferson: On the Book Duty, 1821.

“Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with
their own government;… whenever things get so far wrong as to
attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to
rights.” –Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, 1789. ME 7:253.

“[In a republic, according to Montesquieu in Spirit of the Laws,
IV,ch.5,] ‘virtue may be defined as the love of the laws and of
our country. As such love requires a constant preference of
public to private interest, it is the source of all private
virtue; for they are nothing more than this very preference
itself… Now a government is like everything else: to preserve
it we must love it… Everything, therefore, depends on
establishing this love in a republic; and to inspire it ought to
be the principal business of
education; but the surest way of instilling it into children is
for parents to set them an example.'” –Thomas Jefferson: copied
into his Commonplace Book.

“In the constitution of Spain as proposed by the late Cortes,
there was a principle entirely new to me:… that no person born
after that day should ever acquire the rights of citizenship
until he could read and write. It is impossible sufficiently to
estimate the wisdom of this provision. Of all those which have
been thought of for securing fidelity in the administration of
the government, constant reliance to the principles of the
constitution, and progressive amendments with the progressive
advances of the human mind or changes in human affairs, it is
the most effectual.” –Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont
de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:491

“[The] provision [in the new constitution of Spain] which, after
a certain epoch, disfranchises every citizen who cannot read and
write… is the fruitful germ of the improvement of everything
good and the correction of everything imperfect in the present
constitution. This will give you an enlightened people and an
energetic public opinion which will control and enchain the
aristocratic spirit of the government.” –Thomas Jefferson to
Chevalier de Ouis, 1814. ME 14:130

Government’s Responsibility to Educate

“And say, finally, whether peace is best preserved by giving
energy to the government or information to the people. This last
is the most certain and the most legitimate engine of
government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people.
Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace
and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very
high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the
only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.”
–Thomas Jefferson to James
Madison, 1787. (Forrest version) ME 6:392

“It is an axiom in my mind that our liberty can never be safe
but in the hands of the people themselves, and that, too, of the
people with a certain degree of instruction. This is the
business of the state to effect, and on a general plan.”
–Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1786. ME 19:24

Educate Every Citizen

“A system of general instruction, which shall reach every
description of our citizens from the richest to the poorest, as
it was the earliest, so will it be the latest of all the public
concerns in which I shall permit myself to take an interest.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1818. FE 10:102

“It is highly interesting to our country, and it is the duty of
its functionaries, to provide that every citizen in it should
receive an
education proportioned to the condition and pursuits of his
life.” –Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1814. ME 19:213.

“The mass of our citizens may be divided into two classes — the
laboring and the learned. The laboring will need the first grade
of education to qualify them for their pursuits and duties; the
learned will need it as a foundation for further acquirements.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1814. ME 19:213

“By… [selecting] the youths of genius from among the classes
of the poor, we hope to avail the State of those talents which
nature has sown as liberally among the poor as the rich, but
which perish without use if not sought for and cultivated.”
–Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:206

“Instead of an aristocracy of wealth, of more harm and danger
than benefit to society, to make an opening for the aristocracy
of virtue and talent, which nature has wisely provided for the
direction of the interests of society and scattered with equal
hand through all its conditions, was deemed essential to a
well-ordered republic.” –Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821.
MW 1:54

“I do most anxiously wish to see the highest degrees of
education given to the higher degrees of genius and to all
degrees of it, so much as may enable them to read and understand
what is going on in the world and to keep their part of it going
on right; for nothing can keep it right but their own vigilant
and distrustful superintendence.” –Thomas Jefferson to Mann
Page, 1795. ME 9:30

Importance for Personal Development

“If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in
future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it
would have done in their correction by a good education.”
–Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1818. FE 10:99.

“If the Wise be the happy man… he must be virtuous too; for,
without virtue, happiness cannot be. This then is the true scope
of all academical emulation.” –Thomas Jefferson to Amos J.
Cook, 1816. ME 14:405.

“The boys of the rising generation are to be the men of the
next, and the sole guardians of the principles we deliver over
to them.” –Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Knox, 1810. ME 12:360.

“The reflections that the boys of this age are to be the men of
the next; that they should be prepared to receive the holy
charge which we are cherishing to deliver over to them; that in
establishing an institution of wisdom for them, we secure it to
all our future generations; that in fulfilling this duty, we
bring home to our own bosoms the sweet consolation of seeing our
sons rising under a luminous tuition, to destinies of high
promise; these are considerations which will occur to all.”
–Thomas Jefferson to James Breckinridge, 1821. ME 15:314.

Training Republican Statesmen

“Nor must we omit to mention among the benefits of education the
incalculable advantage of training up able counselors to
administer the affairs of our country in all its departments,
legislative, executive and judiciary, and to bear their proper
share in the councils of our national government: nothing more
than education advancing the prosperity, the power, and the
happiness of a nation.” –Thomas Jefferson: Report for
University of Virginia, 1818.

“Laws will be wisely formed and honestly administered in
proportion as those who form and administer them are wise and
honest; whence it becomes expedient for promoting the public
happiness that those persons whom nature has endowed with genius
and virtue should be rendered by liberal education worthy to
receive and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and
liberties of their fellow citizens; and that they should be
called to that charge without regard to wealth, birth or other
accidental condition or
circumstance. But the indigence of the greater number disabling
them from so educating at their own expense those of their
children whom nature has fitly formed and disposed to become
useful instruments for the public, it is better that such should
be sought for and educated at the common expense of all, than
that the happiness of all should be confined to the weak or
wicked.” –Thomas Jefferson: Diffusion of Knowledge Bill, 1779.
FE 2:221, Papers 2:527.

“We are now trusting to those who are against us in position and
principle, to fashion to their own form the minds and affections
of our youth… This canker is eating on the vitals of our
existence, and if not arrested at once, will be beyond remedy.”
–Thomas Jefferson to James Breckinridge, 1821. ME 15:315.

“The reward of esteem, respect and gratitude [is] due to those
who devote their time and efforts to render the youths of every
successive age fit governors for the next.” –Thomas Jefferson
to Hugh L. White, et al., 1810. ME 12:388.

Hope for the Improvement of Mankind

“I look to the diffusion of light and education as the resource
most to be relied on for ameliorating the conditions, promoting
the virtue and advancing the happiness of man.” –Thomas
Jefferson to Cornelius Camden Blatchly, 1822. ME 15:399.

“If the condition of man is to be progressively ameliorated, as
we fondly hope and believe, education is to be the chief
instrument in effecting it.” –Thomas Jefferson to M. A. Jullien,
1818. ME 15:172.

“What but education has advanced us beyond the condition of our
indigenous neighbors? And what chains them to their present
state of barbarism and wretchedness but a bigoted veneration for
the supposed superlative wisdom of their fathers and the
preposterous idea that they are to look backward for better
things and not forward, longing, as it should seem, to return to
the
days of eating acorns and roots rather than indulge in the
degeneracies of civilization?” –Thomas Jefferson: Report for

“The

to be educated.” (

. And what is even more
incredible, is that whom ever created the human brain, had to first create
the human body, which is also amazing in it self. But of course, nothing
would exist without first creating a universe with immense space that
would be able to create enormous amounts of stars and planets and
satellites, as well as, regenerate itself. And when the all the necessary
elements needed to create a planet come together, you can have a planet
that supports life. This would take several billion years, but who’s
counting. Someone did all the work first before humans came along, meaning
we were born into this. No one has a clue how much work and time went into
making everything in our universe. A baby has no idea how hard their
parents have to work in order to stay alive and maintain a healthy
existence. The only time someone understands what work is, is when they
have to work. That is when humans realize that life is not a free ride.
Humans have responsibilities. It’s a small price to pay for a life as
incredible as the human experience. It’s impossible to even imagine
anything better than human life, becuase it’s hard to improve something
that is almost perfect in design. The only things that humans can improve
is our understanding. We have been slowly learning more about ourselves
and the world around us, but we don’t teach more, and this is why 90
percent of humans on the planet are undereducated. We have failed
ourselves. Too many people don’t even value knowledge. Thus they can never
fully appreciate life or appreciate other people and the world that we all
share. People can see all the advancements that humans have made, but
people can’t see all the possible advances that they can make as a human
being. People are under utilizing the greatest life experience that has
ever been created. And people are not just under utilizing their minds,
but they are also under utilizing all the advanced technologies that
humans have ever created so far. We are blowing it on a massive scale. But
there is still hope. We can adapt, we can change, we can improve, we can
progress. But now, we have to take it up a notch. We have no time to
waste, human life is short, and time is all we have. We have to grow up
now and act like adults. Mom and dad are going to kick us off the planet
if we don’t get our shit together and start taking life seriously. Things
can be so much better. But humans must learn how to be better in order to
make things better. Learn, and keep learning you fools, human life is
slipping away. Ignorance is bliss, but ignorance is not bliss for the
people who are not ignorant, to them ignorance kills and destroys. Imagine
that everyone is blind and you are the only one who could see. You would
have no choice but to help the blind to see. You can’t watch people suffer
from the things they can’t see, especially when people have a chance to
see. Humans have responsibilities. Life is not a free ride. And if you
want to ride, you have to pay with knowledge. And If you don’t want to
learn, that means you force every to pay for your ignorance, which is not
fair or even right, or even sustainable. Ignorance is killing us. But
ignorance is something we can fix, it’s called learning. But society has
to agree to teach. Teaching needs to be mainstream and be everywhere. We
can not discriminate or underutilize are most important responsibility,
which is to educate humans. People who impede education are indirectly
mass murdering people and destroying the environment on planet earth. But
its hard to stop this ignorance when people are too ignorant to stop it.
Devine intervention through education is the only way. God did not give us
a brain to be stupid. But if God did not want us to be stupid, God should
have given us instructions too. But I guest God thought it would be best
that we learn for ourselves. This way we would appreciate how far humans
have come. Thank you God, thank you for letting us figure out life on our
own. It looks like this was the only way. Lets make God proud of us. Let
us show that we appreciate everything that we have been given. It sucks
that we had to learn the hard way and that many people died and suffered
because of our ignorance. But we have a chance to honor our creator and
honor all those who were sacrificed because of our ignorance. Time to move
forward and take that next giant lead in the name of human progress. We
did not waste life in vain, we saved life from the insane, the insanity
that was created from our own ignorance.

You can’t fight ignorance with ignorance

. Though sometimes you can show how ignorant someone is by acting ignorant
as an example and mimic their behavior and hope that the person sees the
resemblance, but that does not always work, and it can also make a
situation worse. So the best reaction to ignorance is to react
intelligently, and not add to the ignorance. Intelligence is a lot of
work, but it’s worth it. Don’t get discourage by people not wanting to be
intelligent, think of it as just another problem to solve. Sometimes you
don’t want to waste time trying to explain things to certain people,
especially when they refuse to listen and learn. But everything is
relative and everyone is a little different. So the intelligent thing to
do is to learn how to be more intelligent, and not expect ignorant people
to learn own their own.

My priorities shifted in 2008

.
When people ask me
“where have I been and what I have been
doing?” I feel like a soldier on the front line in a war,
and someone is asking me “what have you
been doing, I haven’t seen you in a while?” I feel like
saying, “I’m on the front line of a war, so
what do you think I’m doing?” But I can’t say that,
because the war against ignorance is the unseen war. A war that
most people have no idea exists. People know how important
education is, but people have no idea what education should be,
or which knowledge and information is the most valuable.

The Education Revolution
is a Silent Revolution because it’s a revolution of the mind.
It’s like a lush rain forest that is slowly growing back to
reclaim the land that was ravaged by ignorance and corruption,
which caused misplaced deforestation, death, pollution and over
development. The improvements may be slow but at least they’re
steady. The
changes will be beautiful.

Maybe not so much a
revolution, but more of an evolution that is a million times
faster.

“Learn continually, because
Knowledge will feed you for the rest of your life, it will help
protect you from diseases and help guide you through life. And
what ever destiny awaits you, knowledge will always be there
with you.”

“One of the best things I
discovered about information and knowledge is that the more you
learn the more your life improves, and if you find that your
life isn’t improving, it just means that your not learning the
right things at the right time. So you have to keep learning. If
you stop learning, you will stop improving.”

I don’t pretend that I
know everything, or do I pretend that I don’t make mistakes,
because I still do. Learning is a process, but learning is also
a gift, a gift that keeps on giving. And this is why I chose to
work on Education, besides websites, photography, computers and
so on. Education is the beginning to all means, and not a means
to an end.

A bad or inadequate
education is very much like a brain injury. You have to retrain
your brain in order
for you to repair the damage and make your brain work properly.

“Learn and Learn again until
Lambs become Lions”

Sadly today’s education is not
about bestowing knowledge or wisdom, it’s more about creating
unconscious living, dependency and control, which is not the
intent of education but only its end result.

Even though
Math is a factor in everything, Math doesn’t explain everything.
Everything will have some sort of mathematical equation related
to it. So it’s safe to say that knowing the math behind a
problem or the math behind a solution will always benefit you no
matter what, even knowing that some things just don’t add up.

No matter what you do in your life, knowledge will always be
that on thing that will come in handy.

Most people mean

“The worst thing about schools
is that it’s giving kids the wrong impression.
School Kids are actually believing that by going to school they
are actually learning enough.”

All you have to do is look at all the mistakes that
people make to see that education is flawed. That’s clear
concrete evidence that education needs drastic improvements. If
you look at most of the problems that we have in the world you
can easily track them back to their source, and that is our
incompetent education system. If education fails to teach the
necessary information and knowledge, no one will learn it or
apply that wisdom to our current problems.

There’s a lot of missing
information and knowledge that is not being taught. This missing
information and knowledge creates a dysfunctional brain. And the
victim is usually unaware of this dysfunction. This is the main
reason for all human failures.
Every problem on this earth
that is caused by humans is a direct result of an inadequate and
defective education.
The question is, can we correct it in time?

Importance of Shared Information

In order to solve the problems in our
world you first have to educate people to be problem
solvers, then and only then will our problems be solved. 

To Create the perfect education you first have to define what a
perfect education should be.
Then you have to create good teaching methods so that a supreme
education can be learned.
Then you have to create intelligent ways of measuring and
testing to confirm that the supreme education is fully
understood.
Then you have to create ways of effectively and efficiently
distributing the perfect education to everyone who needs it,
which happens to be everyone.

Education today is mostly linear
and
one-dimensional where the line you’re following becomes
so blurred at the end
that it disappears, seemingly leading you to nowhere. So
the goal of education today seems to be undefined,
unless it’s to follow the leader off a cliff, then I
guess it does have one point, a point of no return…..So much lost potential, and the other side of this
equation is the worst part, which is the human toll,
same kind of pile….

Today’s schools are like turning on a computer but never using
it, and never adding anything to it.

Today’s school kids are
intellectually deprived and emotionally suppressed. By the time
they reach the 3rd grade their brains have already become
partially dysfunctional. You can’t blame the teachers, or can you
blame the parents, because they too were made dysfunctional by
the same education process. And a dysfunctional brain is not
aware of its own dysfunction because a dysfunctional brain does
not have the mental capacity to correctly self-analyze.

If you start on both ends you can save a lot of time.

I was always searching for something,
but I was never quite sure what I was searching for. Even when I
found what I was searching for, I had know idea what it was. And
when I finally did realized what I had found, it was like
discovering the key to the universe, but I had no idea where the
door was, all I knew was that the key was knowledge, and to find
the door, I had to learn how to see it. So I set out on a
incredible journey to acquire as much information and knowledge
that I could find. And piece-by-piece, I’m getting closer, but I
know that the door is not the end; it’s only the beginning.

The best teacher is a teacher who realizes
that he or she will never stop being a student.
The best parent is a parent who realizes that he or she will
never stop being a student.
We all have to understand that education is a lifetime
commitment and that no one should ever stop learning or
teaching. America should be a Nation of Learners and Teachers and
stop recycling and repeating the same substandard teaching
methods and start utilizing the vast information and knowledge
that we all have. (Howard Polley)

Never give up,
keep learning. Eventually you will understand almost everything.
You need to eat everyday, you need to drink fluids everyday, and
you need to learn something new everyday, or you will waste a
day. And if you waste too many days, you will never progress,
and you will never develop, and you will never reach your true potential.
To stop learning, is to stop living.

between reading, writing and thinking, I live, I learn, I love, and I
progress. I search for knowledge and explore the unknown. Humans are born
travelers, just like other animals, insects and plants are. Things need to
move, which makes life an incredible journey, but not just exploring in
the physical sense, but also in the spiritual sense. Exploration of the
mind is the ultimate journey, for the mind has no boundaries, limits or
restrictions. Our physical self is our home, our base, and our temporary

of things that can contribute to a persons success. Beside have a good
family and good friends and having a good support system, you need access
to resources and the opportunities to explore your ideas.

Just because
you’re making money, or have a position of authority, or you’re famous or
that you have freedom, these things are not a measurements of success, or
a reason to stop learning or a reason to stop progressing. When people
believe that they have reached the top, they ignorantly feel that there is
no longer need to climb higher. But what people don’t understand, is the
top they believe they have reached, is just an illusion. In fact, most
people are climbing the wrong mountain. People need to climb back down and
start climbing the right mountains. Mountains that have real value and
real rewards. And the only way to rise to these peaks, is to continually
learn and develop your skills. There are no free rides to the top. So if
your journey was an easy one, or if your journey was marred by death and
destruction, you’re on the wrong path. And no matter how high you climb,
you will be a low life forever.

Quotes and ideas are just the beginning of a lengthy conversation, so let us begin…

Education has two purposes . The first is to act as a great sorter with which “the best geniuses will be raked from the rubbish annually” to create an “ aristocracy of worth and genius.” The second is to improve the minds of all citizens to a certain degree so that they could protect the nation from the “ germ of corruption .” – Thomas
Jefferson (wiki).
Thomas Jefferson and Education (wiki) –
Bill for the More General Diffusion of Knowledge
Student Rights (the right to a good education) –
1796 “Act to Establish Public Schools” An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic. Self-government is not possible unless the citizens are educated sufficiently to enable them to exercise oversight. It is therefore imperative that the nation see to it that a suitable education be provided for all its citizens. It should be noted, that when Jefferson speaks of “science,” he is often referring to knowledge or learning in general.”I know no safe depositary of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education . This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power.” –Thomas Jefferson to William C. Jarvis, 1820. ME 15:278″Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree.” –Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:207″The most effectual means of preventing [the perversion of power into tyranny are] to illuminate, as far as practicable, the minds of the people at large, and more especially to give them knowledge of those facts which history exhibits, that possessed thereby of the experience of other ages and countries, they may be enabled to know ambition under all its shapes, and prompt to exert their natural powers to defeat its purposes.” –Thomas Jefferson: Diffusion of Knowledge Bill, 1779. FE 2:221, Papers 2:526″The information of the people at large can alone make them the safe as they are the sole depositary of our political and religious freedom.” –Thomas Jefferson to William Duane, 1810. ME 12:417″The diffusion of information and the arraignment of all abuses at the bar of public reason, I deem [one of] the essential principles of our government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration.” –Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural Address, 1801. ME 3:322″Though [the people] may acquiesce, they cannot approve what they do not understand.” –Thomas Jefferson: Opinion on Apportionment Bill, 1792. ME 3:211″If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” –Thomas Jefferson to Charles Yancey, 1816. ME 14:384″Convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of their own iberty, and that they are not safe unless enlightened to a certain degree, I have looked on our present state of liberty as a short-lived possession unless the mass of the people could be informed to a certain degree.” –Thomas Jefferson to Littleton Waller Tazewell, 1805.”No nation is permitted to live in ignorance with impunity.” –Thomas Jefferson: Virginia Board of Visitors Minutes, 1821. ME 19:408″Freedom [is] the first-born daughter of science.” –Thomas Jefferson to Francois D’Ivernois, 1795. ME 9:297″Light and liberty go together.” –Thomas Jefferson to Tench Coxe, 1795.”Above all things I hope the education of the common people will be attended to, convinced that on their good sense we may rely with the most security for the preservation of a due degree of liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. Madison Version FE 4:480″[I have] a conviction that science is important to the preservation of our republican government, and that it is also essential to its protection against foreign power.” –Thomas Jefferson to —–, 1821. ME 15:340″There are two subjects, indeed, which I shall claim a right to further as long as I breathe: the public education, and the sub-division of counties into wards. I consider the continuance of republican government as absolutely hanging on these two hooks.” –Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1814. ME 14:84″The value of science to a republican people, the security it gives to liberty by enlightening the minds of its citizens, the protection it affords against foreign power, the virtue it inculcates, the just emulation of the distinction it confers on nations foremost in it; in short, its identification with power, morals, order and happiness (which merits to it premiums of encouragement rather than repressive taxes), are considerations [that should] always [be] present and [bear] with their just weight.” –Thomas Jefferson: On the Book Duty, 1821.”Whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government;… whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.” –Thomas Jefferson to Richard Price, 1789. ME 7:253.”[In a republic, according to Montesquieu in Spirit of the Laws, IV,ch.5,] ‘virtue may be defined as the love of the laws and of our country. As such love requires a constant preference of public to private interest, it is the source of all private virtue; for they are nothing more than this very preference itself… Now a government is like everything else: to preserve it we must love it… Everything, therefore, depends on establishing this love in a republic; and to inspire it ought to be the principal business of education; but the surest way of instilling it into children is for parents to set them an example.'” –Thomas Jefferson: copied into his Commonplace Book.”In the constitution of Spain as proposed by the late Cortes, there was a principle entirely new to me:… that no person born after that day should ever acquire the rights of citizenship until he could read and write. It is impossible sufficiently to estimate the wisdom of this provision. Of all those which have been thought of for securing fidelity in the administration of the government, constant reliance to the principles of the constitution, and progressive amendments with the progressive advances of the human mind or changes in human affairs, it is the most effectual.” –Thomas Jefferson to Pierre Samuel Dupont de Nemours, 1816. ME 14:491″[The] provision [in the new constitution of Spain] which, after a certain epoch, disfranchises every citizen who cannot read and write… is the fruitful germ of the improvement of everything good and the correction of everything imperfect in the present constitution. This will give you an enlightened people and an energetic public opinion which will control and enchain the aristocratic spirit of the government.” –Thomas Jefferson to Chevalier de Ouis, 1814. ME 14:130″And say, finally, whether peace is best preserved by giving energy to the government or information to the people. This last is the most certain and the most legitimate engine of government. Educate and inform the whole mass of the people. Enable them to see that it is their interest to preserve peace and order, and they will preserve them. And it requires no very high degree of education to convince them of this. They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787. (Forrest version) ME 6:392″It is an axiom in my mind that our liberty can never be safe but in the hands of the people themselves, and that, too, of the people with a certain degree of instruction. This is the business of the state to effect, and on a general plan.” –Thomas Jefferson to George Washington, 1786. ME 19:24″A system of general instruction, which shall reach every description of our citizens from the richest to the poorest, as it was the earliest, so will it be the latest of all the public concerns in which I shall permit myself to take an interest.” –Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1818. FE 10:102″It is highly interesting to our country, and it is the duty of its functionaries, to provide that every citizen in it should receive an education proportioned to the condition and pursuits of his life.” –Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1814. ME 19:213.”The mass of our citizens may be divided into two classes — the laboring and the learned. The laboring will need the first grade of education to qualify them for their pursuits and duties; the learned will need it as a foundation for further acquirements.” –Thomas Jefferson to Peter Carr, 1814. ME 19:213″By… [selecting] the youths of genius from among the classes of the poor, we hope to avail the State of those talents which nature has sown as liberally among the poor as the rich, but which perish without use if not sought for and cultivated.” –Thomas Jefferson: Notes on Virginia Q.XIV, 1782. ME 2:206″Instead of an aristocracy of wealth, of more harm and danger than benefit to society, to make an opening for the aristocracy of virtue and talent, which nature has wisely provided for the direction of the interests of society and scattered with equal hand through all its conditions, was deemed essential to a well-ordered republic.” –Thomas Jefferson: Autobiography, 1821. MW 1:54″I do most anxiously wish to see the highest degrees of education given to the higher degrees of genius and to all degrees of it, so much as may enable them to read and understand what is going on in the world and to keep their part of it going on right; for nothing can keep it right but their own vigilant and distrustful superintendence.” –Thomas Jefferson to Mann Page, 1795. ME 9:30″If the children are untaught, their ignorance and vices will in future life cost us much dearer in their consequences than it would have done in their correction by a good education.” –Thomas Jefferson to Joseph C. Cabell, 1818. FE 10:99.”If the Wise be the happy man… he must be virtuous too; for, without virtue, happiness cannot be. This then is the true scope of all academical emulation.” –Thomas Jefferson to Amos J. Cook, 1816. ME 14:405.”The boys of the rising generation are to be the men of the next, and the sole guardians of the principles we deliver over to them.” –Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Knox, 1810. ME 12:360.”The reflections that the boys of this age are to be the men of the next; that they should be prepared to receive the holy charge which we are cherishing to deliver over to them; that in establishing an institution of wisdom for them, we secure it to all our future generations; that in fulfilling this duty, we bring home to our own bosoms the sweet consolation of seeing our sons rising under a luminous tuition, to destinies of high promise; these are considerations which will occur to all.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Breckinridge, 1821. ME 15:314.”Nor must we omit to mention among the benefits of education the incalculable advantage of training up able counselors to administer the affairs of our country in all its departments, legislative, executive and judiciary, and to bear their proper share in the councils of our national government: nothing more than education advancing the prosperity, the power, and the happiness of a nation.” –Thomas Jefferson: Report for University of Virginia, 1818.”Laws will be wisely formed and honestly administered in proportion as those who form and administer them are wise and honest; whence it becomes expedient for promoting the public happiness that those persons whom nature has endowed with genius and virtue should be rendered by liberal education worthy to receive and able to guard the sacred deposit of the rights and liberties of their fellow citizens; and that they should be called to that charge without regard to wealth, birth or other accidental condition or circumstance. But the indigence of the greater number disabling them from so educating at their own expense those of their children whom nature has fitly formed and disposed to become useful instruments for the public, it is better that such should be sought for and educated at the common expense of all, than that the happiness of all should be confined to the weak or wicked.” –Thomas Jefferson: Diffusion of Knowledge Bill, 1779. FE 2:221, Papers 2:527.”We are now trusting to those who are against us in position and principle, to fashion to their own form the minds and affections of our youth… This canker is eating on the vitals of our existence, and if not arrested at once, will be beyond remedy.” –Thomas Jefferson to James Breckinridge, 1821. ME 15:315.”The reward of esteem, respect and gratitude [is] due to those who devote their time and efforts to render the youths of every successive age fit governors for the next.” –Thomas Jefferson to Hugh L. White, et al., 1810. ME 12:388.”I look to the diffusion of light and education as the resource most to be relied on for ameliorating the conditions, promoting the virtue and advancing the happiness of man.” –Thomas Jefferson to Cornelius Camden Blatchly, 1822. ME 15:399.”If the condition of man is to be progressively ameliorated, as we fondly hope and believe, education is to be the chief instrument in effecting it.” –Thomas Jefferson to M. A. Jullien, 1818. ME 15:172.”What but education has advanced us beyond the condition of our indigenous neighbors? And what chains them to their present state of barbarism and wretchedness but a bigoted veneration for the supposed superlative wisdom of their fathers and the preposterous idea that they are to look backward for better things and not forward, longing, as it should seem, to return to the days of eating acorns and roots rather than indulge in the degeneracies of civilization?” –Thomas Jefferson: Report for University of Virginia, 1818.”I feel… an ardent desire to see knowledge so disseminated through the mass of mankind that it may, at length, reach even the extremes of society: beggars and kings.” –Thomas Jefferson: Reply to American Philosophical Society, 1808.
Thomas Jefferson The path to enlightenment is a path constructed of words. Each word that you understand will bring you farther down the path. Stay centered on this path for there are words on both sides. At the end of the path is a tunnel and at the end of the tunnel is an opening. That opening is a level of consciousness that can’t be explained but only experienced . You will become aware of the energy that resides in your being, an energy that you will learn to control. And with this control are possibilities beyond your wildest dreams. But don’t forget that you are still on a path. A path with many doors. And with each door you must choose wisely for these doors are gateways to vast areas that have no words and no markers. So it would be wise if you marked your journey with words. Reason one, so that you may find your way back in case you get lost. Reason two, so that someone else my follow your path or at least know why you have chosen this path to begin with.There are many paths, but the goal is the same in each. There is always the easy way and a hard way of reaching the goal . There is the direct route, or the devious route, which leads up highways and byways. The choice is always up to the individual. You are absolutely free too choose your own path. Therefore seek and follow it and in the end you will reach the goal. Your self-realization of Me. The divinity within you. (From, The Living Word by
Eileen Caddy ).”There was always this one path that intersected every path that I have ever been on in my life, and that path was the path of knowledge.””Just because someone loses their way doesn’t mean that they are lost forever. Sometimes we all need a little help, to be shown a better path, a better path then the one we are currently on.”“Education is the best provision for the journey to old age.” ( Aristotle ).”The noblest work in education is to make a reasoning man, and we expect to train a young child by making him reason! This is beginning at the end; this is making an instrument of a result. If children understood how to reason they would not need to be educated.” ( Jean-Jacques
Rousseau Emile).Each age, like every individual, has it’s own characteristic intoxication; we must seek in each decade the joys natural to our years. If play is the effervescence of childhood, and love is the wine of youth, the solace of age is understanding. If you you would be content in age, be wise with
Solon and learn something every day. Education is not a task, it is a lifelong happiness, an ennobling intimacy with great people, an unhurried excursion into all realms of loveliness and wisdom. If in youth we fell in love with beauty, in maturity we can make friends with genius.
Will Durant “Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul.” Will Durant is the war that will end all wars. The war on ignorance is a war fought with words instead of physical violence . When people educate themselves and learn how to effectively use the power of words , they become instruments of change, and not just hero’s and legends. Instead of words being used as
propaganda , words should be used as liberators of
the minds and help liberate the hearts of every human being on this planet. This is the true intention of knowledge, and the true power of words. Improving education is not a
quick fix , and it will be a struggle, but at least we know that we can’t lose, for we have everything to win. You cannot lose a war against ignorance, you can only slow it down , but eventually we will win. And what we win is more control over our lives, and more awareness, and more understanding of others. Our only limitations then will be our own imaginations.. Our ignorance is the real enemy.You don’t need a really big army to fight ignorance. You need highly skilled teachers using advanced technology tools that helps to effectively and efficiently educate every student to the highest degree possible, which can then replicate itself like a vaccine . And knowledge is like a vaccine in some ways, and knowledge is a type of a vaccine that is symbiotic . A virus that is not symbiotic, ends up killing. An example of that type of virus is called capitalism abuse . A war machine depends on proper training, and education is
training for the War Against Ignorance. This wall of ignorance needs to come down. Listening is our top priority.Valuable knowledge is a weapon of mass deconstruction . People need to weaponize the mind and
bulletproof the mind in order to protect the mind from the corporate propaganda machine “There is no wealth like knowledge, and no poverty like ignorance”. Buddha
Moses 2.0 “Let my people go, I shall part the sea of
ignorance and free people for ever from the bondage of
ignorance .” Instead of two stone tablets, this time it will be a jump-drive filled with a million words that will create intelligence that will free people for ever.Instead of the movie being called “Independence Day” they should have called it “”, the day that we stopped making stupid movies about how stupid we are. “We will not go quietly into the night!” Today we celebrate our! The day that we all stopped being stupid. Happy 4th of July…4.7.1776..13 American Colonies = 36..3+6= 9 The human brain is most likely the greatest
technology that has ever been created . And what is even more incredible, is that whom ever created the human brain, had to first create the human body, which is also amazing in it self. But of course, nothing would exist without first creating a universe with immense space that would be able to create enormous amounts of stars and planets and satellites, as well as, regenerate itself. And when the all the necessary elements needed to create a planet come together, you can have a planet that supports life. This would take several billion years, but who’s counting. Someone did all the work first before humans came along, meaning we were born into this. No one has a clue how much work and time went into making everything in our universe. A baby has no idea how hard their parents have to work in order to stay alive and maintain a healthy existence. The only time someone understands what work is, is when they have to work. That is when humans realize that life is not a free ride. Humans have responsibilities. It’s a small price to pay for a life as incredible as the human experience. It’s impossible to even imagine anything better than human life, becuase it’s hard to improve something that is almost perfect in design. The only things that humans can improve is our understanding. We have been slowly learning more about ourselves and the world around us, but we don’t teach more, and this is why 90 percent of humans on the planet are undereducated. We have failed ourselves. Too many people don’t even value knowledge. Thus they can never fully appreciate life or appreciate other people and the world that we all share. People can see all the advancements that humans have made, but people can’t see all the possible advances that they can make as a human being. People are under utilizing the greatest life experience that has ever been created. And people are not just under utilizing their minds, but they are also under utilizing all the advanced technologies that humans have ever created so far. We are blowing it on a massive scale. But there is still hope. We can adapt, we can change, we can improve, we can progress. But now, we have to take it up a notch. We have no time to waste, human life is short, and time is all we have. We have to grow up now and act like adults. Mom and dad are going to kick us off the planet if we don’t get our shit together and start taking life seriously. Things can be so much better. But humans must learn how to be better in order to make things better. Learn, and keep learning you fools, human life is slipping away. Ignorance is bliss, but ignorance is not bliss for the people who are not ignorant, to them ignorance kills and destroys. Imagine that everyone is blind and you are the only one who could see. You would have no choice but to help the blind to see. You can’t watch people suffer from the things they can’t see, especially when people have a chance to see. Humans have responsibilities. Life is not a free ride. And if you want to ride, you have to pay with knowledge. And If you don’t want to learn, that means you force every to pay for your ignorance, which is not fair or even right, or even sustainable. Ignorance is killing us. But ignorance is something we can fix, it’s called learning. But society has to agree to teach. Teaching needs to be mainstream and be everywhere. We can not discriminate or underutilize are most important responsibility, which is to educate humans. People who impede education are indirectly mass murdering people and destroying the environment on planet earth. But its hard to stop this ignorance when people are too ignorant to stop it. Devine intervention through education is the only way. God did not give us a brain to be stupid. But if God did not want us to be stupid, God should have given us instructions too. But I guest God thought it would be best that we learn for ourselves. This way we would appreciate how far humans have come. Thank you God, thank you for letting us figure out life on our own. It looks like this was the only way. Lets make God proud of us. Let us show that we appreciate everything that we have been given. It sucks that we had to learn the hard way and that many people died and suffered because of our ignorance. But we have a chance to honor our creator and honor all those who were sacrificed because of our ignorance. Time to move forward and take that next giant lead in the name of human progress. We did not waste life in vain, we saved life from the insane, the insanity that was created from our own ignorance.. Though sometimes you can show how ignorant someone is by acting ignorant as an example and mimic their behavior and hope that the person sees the resemblance, but that does not always work, and it can also make a situation worse. So the best reaction to ignorance is to react intelligently, and not add to the ignorance. Intelligence is a lot of work, but it’s worth it. Don’t get discourage by people not wanting to be intelligent, think of it as just another problem to solve. Sometimes you don’t want to waste time trying to explain things to certain people, especially when they refuse to listen and learn. But everything is relative and everyone is a little different. So the intelligent thing to do is to learn how to be more intelligent, and not expect ignorant people to learn own their own.. When people ask me “where have I been and what I have been doing?” I feel like a soldier on the front line in a war, and someone is asking me “what have you been doing, I haven’t seen you in a while?” I feel like saying, “I’m on the front line of a war, so what do you think I’m doing?” But I can’t say that, because the war against ignorance is the unseen war. A war that most people have no idea exists. People know how important education is, but people have no idea what education should be, or which knowledge and information is the most valuable. Ignorance is a disease, and the only effective vaccine is a High Quality Education.” – “Knowledge is the cure for what ails us.”is a symptom or a sign of an ailment that a person clearly shows or displays. An event, action, or object that embodies something. An indication of the existence or presence or nature of some person or thing.is to provide evidence for and to stand as proof of some behavior attitude , or external attributes, that reveals itself and makes an appearance. Something that can be clearly revealed to the mind or the senses or judgment.is to give rise to something or someone; to bring about. To bring a child into existence by the process of reproduction. Intrinsic or Extrinsic Cure is to make healthy again. To improve usability . To preserve and prepare that are currently plaguing mankind, it’s called improving education and making a high quality education available to every human being on earth.” Panacea “We can breed out the disease called ignorance by improving education to its highest level.””Mans only predator is mans own ignorance, so we are not the top species just yet.”is to cause someone to suffer a disease with a high death rate . To annoy someone continually or chronically., it’s usually disturbing,
extremely distasteful , disrespectful, unacceptable and incompatible with reality. Something bad that becomes obvious after lying hidden.
Lack of Knowledge and Information is a Disability . And most people have some form of
mental illness to a certain degree, it’s just how much of their
mental deficiency manifests itself, and what area of understanding and knowledge they lack in.Ignorance turns a natural born problem solver into a problem maker. An ignorant person makes more problems then it solves. This has been the case since the beginning and throughout human history. Every war, every crime, every murder, every human related problem is related to ignorance. When we solve the problem of ignorance we will then solve every problem that we know of. So improving education is a no brainer, but trying to explain that to no brainers is a problem in itself.People sometimes make the wrong assumption . Some people think that because I have acquired so much knowledge and information, that I should be more successful in my life. I am successful, because I’m still on the
Front Line . You wouldn’t ask a soldier on the front line, “Hey, why aren’t you home building your dream house and building a successful career?” The answer is.. “Because I’m fighting a war you moron! Besides that, I am more successful here than I would be anywhere else. I will not leave the front line until the was on ignorance is over, so I will most likely die here on the front line. I hope that answers your question? You should go now, this is not a safe place for people who make assumptions.” Years of Potential Life Lost is an estimate of the averageif he or she had not died prematurely from negligence preventable causes or ignorance The Disability-Adjusted Life Year is a measure of overall
Disease Burden , expressed as thedue to ill-health, disability or early death that was caused by your own ignorance or someone else’s ignorance. ( DALY )., ignorance is a cancer…If cancer was aware that it was killing the person who gave it life, cancer would not kill the person or kill itself in the process, cancer is not that stupid, but someone is. Greed Kills “I guess when the people in
power decided to dumb down education in order to make it easier to control the masses, they thought it was a good idea at that time. But the sad part is, it turned out to be a horrible and horrific idea. As dumb as people are, when you have that many undereducated people, the results are catastrophic. What the people in power ended up doing is that they infected themselves, and this planet, with a very aggressive cancer, a cancer that they created. The main problem is that this type of cancer that we are dealing with has a brain, which makes it incredibly dangerous and difficult to cure, but not impossible. I don’t hate people in power, because I know that most people, including myself, would most likely make the same mistakes if they were put in that same position of power and wealth, especially if those same people had the same lack of information and knowledge as the people in power did in the last 100 years. Now the scary part is wondering what methods people in power will use to cure this cancer. Of course there is always better ways and a more logical ways when problem solving. We just hope that people in power will not use the same thinking that they used that got us into this mess in the first place. The good part is, we know that the human brain learns. So now you see, this education problem is much more important then you think. It was the lack of information and knowledge that got us into this mess and it will be the abundance of information and knowledge that will get us out of this mess. People in power are not evil, People in power are just possessed by misinformation, which causes some of their actions to be deplorable, destructive and vicious. Pretty much the same thing that happens to the general public when they are misinformed.””Not being able to see, hear or talk is a serious disadvantage. But not being able to think is the worst disability of them all.”, but it will still not protect you from other peoples ignorance.Every type of war is related to money , but the root cause of war is inadequate education. Unconventional
warfare demoralization
warfare , war on cancer, war on poverty, war on obesity, war on corruption, war on certain drugs,
war against pollution , and on and on.When we came together during WWII we accomplished some amazing things. The war on ignorance is a war for our survival, so again we will come together and rise above.
United States home front during World War II (wiki) –
Global Initiative . A lot of the things that people believe are actually wrong, and the things they think are true, are not true. And it’s not just that people don’t want to admit that they’re wrong , it’s that people have no way of knowing that they are wrong, and they have no way of learning why they are wrong or why they misinterpreted some of the things in the world. The world is not what it seems. The world is only what you think it is, which is directly related to the things that you learned and experienced in your life and the way you understood it all. And the fact is that people never question the things that they learned, so they can’t be sure if what they know is actually correct or accurate. And people hardly ever question if the experiences that they had where interpreted in the most effective and accurate way possible. This verification process of learning is not even taught in schools or is it being transmitted anywhere in the media. The most important thing about learning is knowing the things that you are learning are making you more aware and making you more understanding of yourself and the world around you. But this is not happening in schools. Until now. We are making progress in defining the most
valuable knowledge and information , along with the processes and the instructions on how to effectively use knowledge and information.
New Deal was a series of social liberal programs enacted in the United States between 1933 and 1938, and a few that came later. They included both laws passed by Congress as well as presidential executive orders during the first term (1933–1937) of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The programs were in
response to the Great Depression , and focused on what historians refer to as the “3 Rs”, Relief, Recovery, and Reform: relief for the unemployed and poor, recovery of the economy to normal levels, and reform of the financial system to prevent a repeat depression. Housing Ignorance is the Butterfly Effect ; we know that we cannot control everything, but what we can control, we should. Let us not perish from the mistakes caused by ignorance, instead, let us face all hardships knowing that we did our best as humanly possible.There are things that we don’t want to know, but have to learn. It’s better to know and be disappointed than to never know and always wonder.”Everything has a function , if it didn’t, it would not be here. You ask, what about cancer or radiation? Yes, even cancer and radiation has a function. They let us know when things are bad or wrong. Even ignorance has a function, ignorance lets us know that being stupid is not an option. Our job is to slow down decay, not increase it. Stealing time or borrowing time only leaves you with less time. So spending time on increasing your decay is not a good use of time, in fact, it’s an insane use of time. Time has a function, to ignore time, is to die.The Education Revolution is a Silent Revolution because it’s a revolution of the mind. It’s like a lush rain forest that is slowly growing back to reclaim the land that was ravaged by ignorance and corruption, which caused misplaced deforestation, death, pollution and over development. The improvements may be slow but at least they’re steady. The changes will be beautiful.Maybe not so much a revolution, but more of an evolution that is a million times faster.”Learn continually, because Knowledge will feed you for the rest of your life, it will help protect you from diseases and help guide you through life. And what ever destiny awaits you, knowledge will always be there with you.””One of the best things I discovered about information and knowledge is that the more you learn the more your life improves, and if you find that your life isn’t improving, it just means that your not learning the right things at the right time. So you have to keep learning. If you stop learning, you will stop improving.”I don’t pretend that I know everything, or do I pretend that I don’t make mistakes, because I still do. Learning is a process, but learning is also a gift, a gift that keeps on giving. And this is why I chose to work on Education, besides websites, photography, computers and so on. Education is the beginning to all means, and not a means to an end.A bad or inadequate education is very much like a brain injury. You have to retrain your brain in order for you to repair the damage and make your brain work properly.”Learn and Learn again until Lambs become Lions”Sadly today’s education is not about bestowing knowledge or wisdom, it’s more about creating unconscious living, dependency and control, which is not the intent of education but only its end result.Even though Math is a factor in everything, Math doesn’t explain everything. Everything will have some sort of mathematical equation related to it. So it’s safe to say that knowing the math behind a problem or the math behind a solution will always benefit you no matter what, even knowing that some things just don’t add up.No matter what you do in your life, knowledge will always be that on thing that will come in handy.As an Intelligent species we have 2 major responsibilities, survive and protect So what will be the tipping point When will the perfect education
go viral Most people mean
well , it’s just that sometimes people don’t know what they
mean . Good intentions are not always good or easily understood by the giver or the receiver. We don’t always say what we mean or mean what we say. People can learn, it’s just that sometimes people only want to learn when they feel it’s Personally Suitable or Perceived to be important. How many different types of
Learning Disabilities are there? Can teaching and learning
Information Literacy help solve this problem? You should never feel
Insecure about what you don’t know or should you ever be Afraid of saying something stupid. As long as you are asking a Question , whether the question is stupid or not, you will never be Lying to anyone or pretending to know something that you are not sure of, which in some cases can cause someone else to make a
Mistake . There is no Shame in saying I don’t know, the only shame that there is comes from not wanting to seek
Knowledge about the
Truth “The worst thing about schools is that it’s giving kids the wrong impression. School Kids are actually believing that by going to school they are actually learning enough.”All you have to do is look at all the mistakes that people make to see that education is flawed. That’s clear concrete evidence that education needs drastic improvements. If you look at most of the problems that we have in the world you can easily track them back to their source, and that is our incompetent education system. If education fails to teach the necessary information and knowledge, no one will learn it or apply that wisdom to our current problems.There’s a lot of missing information and knowledge that is not being taught. This missing information and knowledge creates a dysfunctional brain. And the victim is usually unaware of this dysfunction. This is the main reason for all human failures. Every problem on this earth that is caused by humans is a direct result of an inadequate and defective education. The question is, can we correct it in time?In order to solve the problems in our world you first have to educate people to be problem solvers, then and only then will our problems be solved.To Create the perfect education you first have to define what a perfect education should be. Then you have to create good teaching methods so that a supreme education can be learned. Then you have to create intelligent ways of measuring and testing to confirm that the supreme education is fully understood. Then you have to create ways of effectively and efficiently distributing the perfect education to everyone who needs it, which happens to be everyone.Education today is mostly linear and one-dimensional where the line you’re following becomes so blurred at the end that it disappears, seemingly leading you to nowhere. So the goal of education today seems to be undefined, unless it’s to follow the leader off a cliff, then I guess it does have one point, a point of no return…..So much lost potential, and the other side of this equation is the worst part, which is the human toll, same kind of pile….Today’s schools are like turning on a computer but never using it, and never adding anything to it.Today’s school kids are intellectually deprived and emotionally suppressed. By the time they reach the 3rd grade their brains have already become partially dysfunctional. You can’t blame the teachers, or can you blame the parents, because they too were made dysfunctional by the same education process. And a dysfunctional brain is not aware of its own dysfunction because a dysfunctional brain does not have the mental capacity to correctly self-analyze.
Intrapersonal
intelligence needs to be learned early in life in order for the brain to avoid dysfunctional processes. The Domino Effect (Creating an Educated Civilization)If you start on both ends you can save a lot of time. Synchronicity . Educate everyone from the bottom up while at the same time remove corrupt people in power, or at the least render corrupt people powerless by removing their pawns and puppets. Then somewhere in the middle, when all hindrances have been removed, true education will then succeed in creating an Educated Civilization.I’m fighting the most horrible belief in the world, the belief that there is nothing more to learn. People, mostly adults, are under this horrible delusion that they know
enough . Adults believe that learning something new would
over tax their brain , or stop them from having fun. And this learning disability mostly comes from schools, because schools have made learning to be tedious, boring and irrelevant, which literally f*cks people up for life.We have known for some time that the material world mentally separates people from the real world . So much so that people actually believe that there is no natural world , when in fact there is. This is way beyond just having a distorted perception . This separation is a form of blindness. It’s disconnection, It’s isolation and a continuous sedation. It’s a real mess, it’s tragic and disturbing. When will people wakeup ? Can people
wake up ? Maybe people don’t realize that they are actually Asleep ? What will wake them up? Can education protect people from this delusion Our Souls are Seeds our Words are its Soil.Spreading the seeds of knowledge like a flower spreading its seeds in the wind.Education is the first step so let us begin. Our evolution is upon us and has already begun.It’s time for all to realize we too can shine like the Sun.. The expanding universe is the same as human comprehension, both will continue to expand and grow. We see no end in space because human comprehension hasn’t evolved that far. Human consciousness is like a star slowly forming, we are just beginning to see..”If you are not learning how ignorant you are , then you’re not learning”As I continue to repair the years of ignorance that I have acquired over the years from our defective education system and from our corrupt corporate media, I find myself going back to repair the same ignorance over and over again because there are many
Mechanisms of influence that a person needs to be aware of that can cause ignorance. But it does not mean that there are too many mechanisms to control. It just means it will take time to be aware of all the mechanisms that create ignorance. And when that is accomplished…wow!..”There’s a lot more to it when it comes to just figuring stuff out. Figuring something out is just the beginning. Like learning the combination of a lock that opens a door. Now what?There is a huge difference between ‘ thinking that you will eventually just figure stuff out on your own ‘ and ‘actually seeking knowledge’. One is waiting to know and may never know, thus always struggling with the unknown, and the other is trying to know and will most likely know and learn, thus most likely to be free from struggling with the unknown.”Since our children are the future we must educate them for the future”Teaching is an ongoing conversation with the student…if you don’t engage the mind then learning and teaching does not exist.A simple life is better as long as everyone is educated.The brain is a computer . If you don’t install the operating system correctly (education) the computer (Brain) will not be able to work to its full potential and may even experience a malfunctions and errors.I wouldn’t call our
education system a complete failure . After all our education system has made us very aware of the fact that all humans can learn, maybe not everything they should have, but they still have the ability to learn. So all we have to do now is teach the most important knowledge and information that every human needs.Some people ask me.. “So what do think that you could actually save the world” I say ‘”No, I don’t think that ‘ I ‘ could save the world, I think that ‘ improving education ‘ could save the world”…I’m just the facilitator …The saving of the world will actually be done by educated people. Why do you think that God gave us a brain? Trying to make sense of the world is what the brain does naturally.I was always searching for something, but I was never quite sure what I was searching for. Even when I found what I was searching for, I had know idea what it was. And when I finally did realized what I had found, it was like discovering the key to the universe, but I had no idea where the door was, all I knew was that the key was knowledge, and to find the door, I had to learn how to see it.

And piece-by-piece, I’m getting closer, but I know that the door is not the end; it’s only the beginning.The best teacher is a teacher who realizes that he or she will never stop being a student. The best parent is a parent who realizes that he or she will never stop being a student. We all have to understand that education is a lifetime commitment and that no one should ever stop learning or teaching. America should be a Nation of Learners and Teachers and stop recycling and repeating the same substandard teaching methods and start utilizing the vast information and knowledge that we all have. (Howard Polley)Never give up, keep learning. Eventually you will understand almost everything. You need to eat everyday, you need to drink fluids everyday, and you need to learn something new everyday, or you will waste a day. And if you waste too many days, you will never progress, and you will never develop, and you will never reach your true potential.

Spock – Fascinating ! (youtube).Everyday I do a lot of thinking, I do a lot of reading, and I do a lot of writing. And in between reading, writing and thinking, I live, I learn, I love, and I progress. I search for knowledge and explore the unknown.

Things need to move, which makes life an incredible journey, but not just exploring in the physical sense, but also in the spiritual sense. Exploration of the mind is the ultimate journey, for the mind has no boundaries, limits or restrictions. Our physical self is our home, our base, and our temporary living space. Treat your body with kindness, for your minds sake. Live and Learn Be grateful to be living and appreciate all that you have
been given , and always do something
positive and beneficial with the time that you have , because it’s a good way to give back . Everything else beyond those three things is just problem

But if you don’t work hard and be resilient , you will not be in the position to take advantage of the opportunities that will be before you. Not everyone makes it to the top, but the top is not the only goal . The main goal is to live your dream on your terms, and to play the
odds as best as you can. Even if you don’t finish, you can still pass on
your knowledge and leave behind what you have learned from your journey, this way others can pick up your
baton and carry on your dream and reach the top, which means that you have succeeded, and that your life was a success.Success is knowing that your life made a difference by making the world a better place. Success is measured by how many positive influences that you have on other people’s lives, and by how many positive affects that you have on the planet.

Einstein “Success is making a difference by working on issues of poverty, hunger, mental health, human rights , animal welfare and others related to social justice.””Success is finding an educational path that helps us to achieve the goals that matter to us.” Life Quotes “It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply
service that measures success.”
George Washington Carver (wiki)”Success is to laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you havelived.””Success is having enough happiness to keep you sweet, enough trials to keep you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to keep you happy, enough failure to keep you humble, enough accomplishments to keep you eager, enough friends to give you comfort, enough faith and courage in yourself to banish sadness, enough determination to make each day a more wonderful day than the one before.””True achievement is a product of making observable and altruistic changes in the real world .”There are a lot of things that can contribute to a persons success.

When people believe that they have reached the top, they ignorantly feel that there is no longer need to climb higher. But what people don’t understand, is the top they believe they have reached, is just an illusion. In fact, most people are climbing the wrong mountain. People need to climb back down and start climbing the right mountains. Mountains that have real value and real rewards. And the only way to rise to these peaks, is to continually learn and develop your skills. There are no free rides to the top. So if your journey was an easy one, or if your journey was marred by death and destruction, you’re on the wrong path. And no matter how high you climb, you will be a low life forever.Quotes and ideas are just the beginning of a lengthy conversation, so let us begin…
