Education is a LIE.

Discuss.

Elaborate please.

i agree with reason, it is to a degree. i can take my school issued book on government and history and read it and i can go in and tell what is propaganda, when they tell you about something but only tell you half of the whole thing, what is lie, and what is real knowledge. but it is better than nothing. all of my history books in the years before were exactly like this too, as for all of the other subjects, dont know, dont care.

now if you want to talk about college and how they steal your money, OR, make you become a slave to receive an education, then that is a whole different topic

"Education is a LIE"
Are you talking specifics, all of it, any of it...what?

All of it. It's interesting to see how many different perspectives this topic can get in here.

Personally, I was seeing education more as a lie with regards to the promise of a final secure economic success for individuals. I have come to the conclusion that paying for education in order to obtain greater degrees doesn't guarantee success or happines. It is passion for something, determination, confidence and action -putting your ideas into work- what will open for you the path to success.

hehehe, ariesvita, you are the laziest poster i know of here 😉

re subject: knowledge usually gets outdated when it reaches edu system, in general, 'how' kids are taught may mean more than 'what' is tried to be delivered .. but if we are realistic, we wouldn't demand too much .. common sense has never been humans' friend

I am more of a good 'listener' :p

I agree as well. How kids are taught is the key to effective learning. I think we are lacking teachers who are truly committed to their job and not just doing it for the paycheck.

You can be educated of a lie. i.e Jesus had blue eyes and blonde hair. Evolution, Santa Claus, etc. So, education just means that you were taught something that is consensual and well marketed, but a lot of it is a lie.

People are taught that there's a Universe, but that's a lie..... There's a Multi-Verse that has a source, and that source is light, which creates sound, sound creates matter. Study the Solfeggio, Mandelbrot set, Cymatics, Fibonacci sequence, and the Sumerians, then you will be truly educated.

hmmm, i remember studying the fibonacci sequence when i was younger and i couldn't really wrap my mind about that shit, other things sound interesting also

I believe in the ideals of education just that the institutions that implement them

Yes its a lie, look at China, India, Holland, Germany...definitely education is worthless.

Although I wouldn't trade my 18 years of education for a new pair of socks, I agree that it doesn't guarantee happiness. However, since when was it supposed to? I didn't get my BA and MA in English literature to be happy or because I thought it would make me happy, I was happy before and I'm OK now. I had the pleasure of attending a public and private institution for both degrees and it's the wisest decision I had no part in making as I applied to one school for each. I gained subjectivity and objectivity, and I'm addicted to the former. I will say that I don't necessarily orgasm at while teaching college students grammar, but that's as much as I can do until I get my PhD. I'm not used to traveling from A to B and settling in there, which is what I'm doing now.
