By redefining freedom.
We pushed anarchy too far. There must be structure and order in how we ALLOW communication in the first place. In how we TEACH our students to THINK.
Idiocracy was never inevitable. Just for us in our grand Ego driven stupidity at letting propaganda and division run wild.
Division of ideas is fine.
Division of reality is not.
We had to redefine our Bill of Rights to account for the true nature of mankind. Our founders were far too kind, a product of their tech or lackthereof. In our time we needed FAR stronger protections.
One of the happiest I've been while at a "back to school" night was when my eldest child was in freshman year of high school. We're in the suburbs outside of Philly. I forgot what the exact class name was, but the teacher said their class was not about pushing political views, but to teach the children to think critically and look at things from both sides. Teaching students
how to think, rather than pushing rote memorization is so important.
This is in stark contrast to inner city schools, where I and my siblings went, where I feel the funding is not there for these types of courses. Hell, even when I went to high school, we still had things like cooking classes and wood working shop. All of that is gone now. The funding simply isn't there. It's a damn shame. Hell, my second eldest child just presented me with a wooden box they made at their middle school.
Some of you may have read about Calcea Johnson and Ne’Kiya Jackson, two high school students who proved the Pythagorean Theorem using trigonometry, which was thought to be impossible. That's what happens when our younger generation is educated. We add to the collective pool of knowledge and advance as a species.
In general, education has been dismantled. In many ways, it's not much more than a day care for kids until they're 18 now. It's criminal that we don't educate the next generation, and install in them the ability to think critically, and have a joy in learning and trying new things.
