The Problem with Relying on External Sources
- Dependency on Media: We must stop depending on the news and those who have programmed us into passivity for our information and liberation.
- Self-Reliance: Expecting those in power, who maintain control by manipulating us, to free us is contradictory and unrealistic.
The True Purpose of Education
- Honorable Purpose: The sole honorable purpose of education is to train students to be respectful and responsible handlers of power.
- Power Dynamics: Those in power will not educate others on how to dismantle the very structures that keep them in control.
The Nature of Freedom
- Active Pursuit: Freedom is not a passive wish or dream but something to be actively taken and secured with one’s own hands.
- Generational Responsibility: Each generation must secure their own freedom actively; inherited freedom is not guaranteed until each generation fights to secure it themselves.
Control and Education
- Content Dictation: When external entities control the content of education, they control what goes into our minds, shaping our thoughts and actions.
- Mental Slavery: Allowing others to dictate educational content keeps us in a form of mental slavery, limiting true freedom and autonomy.
Summary of Key Points
- Stop Relying on External Sources: We must become self-reliant and skeptical of the information provided by those who have historically controlled and manipulated us.
- Purpose of Education: Education should empower individuals to responsibly handle power, not perpetuate dependency on those in control.
- Active Pursuit of Freedom: Freedom must be actively pursued and secured by each generation; it is not a passive inheritance.
- Control of Education: To achieve true freedom, we must take control of our education and resist external manipulation of our thoughts and actions.
