Unschooling by John Holt
Didn't want this to be missed at the end of last bread
Hail to those wise men
Who came before
Let us listen to their wisdom
Ivan Illich's "Deschooling Society": Why We Must Disestablish School
This video looks at chapter one of "Deschooling Society" with emphasis on how bureaucracies like school confuse escalation with success and increase impotency in the individual.
Deschooling Society
by Ivan Illich
only 50 pages long in the attached PDF file
Universal education through schooling is not feasible. It would be no more feasible if it were attempted by mean s of alternative institutions built on the style of present schools. Neither new attitudes of teachers toward their pupils nor the proliferation of educational hardware or software (in classroom or bedroom), nor finally the attempt to expand the pedagogue's responsibility until it engulfs his pupils' lifetimes will deliver universal education. The current search for new educational funnels must be reversed into the search for their institutional inverse: educational webs which heighten the opportunity for each one to transform each moment of his living into one of learning, sharing, and caring. We hope to contribute concepts needed by those who conduct such counterfoil research on education–and also to those who seek alternatives to other established service industries.
In 1974 Ted Nelson published two interesting books in one volume. One is read from front to the middle, and the other is read from the end to the middle.
Computer Lib/Dream Machines
Inspired a generation of hackers
Some went on to build Hypercard
Other built the World Wide Web
But all of them were searching for a new way to present educational material in chunks, like the human mind works, with links between the chunks, so a reader can navigate their own path.
This book was the first attempt to write something in this new chunked and linked format. And the man who did it wanted to rip education out of the rigid classrooms and schools, and put it into learning centers built in the style of Macdonalds restaurants.
Here it is, all 132 pages
Seems that the old Soviet vending machines
That dispensed sparkling water
Will be making a comeback of sorts
No Comrade, I do not drink Vodka or dispense it.
Note that the Cabal has thoroughly infiltrated
The whole Open Schools movement
Which is one reason for posting stuff from the 70s
But as long as you are aware of the fact
That widely available Open Schools materials
Still keep that Prussian system hidden inside
You can adapt any of those materials.
The worst is the textbooks and teaching materials
Which have chewed up the knowledge and regurgitated it
With a thorough mix of Social Justice Worker thrown in.
But, look at the school curriculum from 150 years ago.
People are still as smart and capable today
Old Latin and Greek textbooks can be used
And help give a solid understanding of the English language
Rhetoric is a very useful subject
To raise children who can play the game of politics
Also a copy of Roberts Rules of Order
Or Debating Society rulebooks like these attached
The Young Debater: a Handbook for Mutual Improvement and Debating Societies. Second Edition
The American debater
Notice how some vaginas
Betray their origins
As a lamprey's mouth
Back in the precambrian era
Don't forget to check in with the Logical Fallacies chart
From time to time
To make sure nobody is pulling your leg
No! I did NOT say fellatio.
Fallacies!!!
Agreed.
And always ask yourself
Is this a blackhat?
Or are the blackhats just blackmailing them.
For instance
New Zealand is not such a bad place
Check this school in a yurt
Home-schooling and ‘unschooling’ on the rise - The Feed
It’s not just fundamentalist Christians and hippies anymore… Meet some of the growing number of Aussie families home-schooling and ‘unschooling’ their kids.
So Australia may have some good things in it too.
Writing a web crawler is so easy that a kid could do it with the instructions you can find nowadays.

Modern web servers are filled with rubbish you do NOT want, like a 100 copies of the same stuff with minor variations because of caching, or stuff that claims to be code but which isn't and just produces useleless web pages.
There can even be traps that go around in circles until your hard drive is full.
When robots.txt says, skip this stuff, best to follow their advice.
And if you want to make a search engine
Get SOLR from the Apache Foundation.
If it's good enough for the NSA it will do the job for you. And as you learn how to wield its power you will gain a clearer understanding of why Q is always smirking when he says "We have it all".
Nope.
Don't hate Dennett
Never heard of him
Seems he has nothing useful to learn
Therefore
No good reason to hate Dennett
If you want to play Don Quixote
Go right ahead,
Knock yourself out!
Here, try this mallet
I think they may have migrated from those RAM card thingies to SSDs by now.
And of course, they max out the RAM on every blade because that is the secret
The fastest searches happen 100% in RAM
When even SSDs are too slow.
I think they have some secret sauce related to building partial indices so that one dataset will be searched by separate servers looking at separate parts of the data. One server for names, one for birthdates, one for SSNs etc. Normally I just lump everything into one index
Because nobody outside NSA has YUGE datasets.
It was before your time sonny boy…
Back then you just squirted or dripped or dribbled your sperm
Any which way
And they would encounter random organisms
And get stuck to them
Or eaten by them
Or breed with them if it was an egg
Because everything was all mixed up
In one primordial soup
It took a long time for these organisms
To band together in wierd colonies
And learn how to help each other
So parts of you used to be worms
Somebody out there evolved eyeballs
And whatever organism pulled that in and didn't eat it,
Gained and advantage over the rest.
We'd all still be in that soup if it wasn't for the occasional asteroid
That left us shaken, but not stirred.
The Russian liberated side is too busy building a new nation, dealing with spies, and clearing out corruption. And they have no need to learn English either.
The CIA still has one whole floor of the Ukraine KGB headquarters in Kiev, and they are embedded in other cities too. They won't give up until the EU gives up.
But those Ukraine Nazia are STUPID.
They used AMerican infrastructure for everthing
They haver activists all over Canada and the USA gathering money, support, etc. So they are fully IDed by the NSA who know everything about what they are doing and what they did since the Orange revolution days.
Nazi Ukraine is FUCKED
Because they ripped off all the EU countries
So nobody will help them rebuild.
They will have to do it themselves.
Of course in reality, the people will get fed up with the NAZIs and hunt them down and kill them
And it will be perfectly legal, because there is no ICC and Ukraine is a sovereign, if lawless, state. So when the people get control, they will ask Russia to help, and Russia will help.
But they will make damn sure that the Nazis are ALL GONE
Because know they know who they are. Which families, who their partners abroad are. They mightr all manage to hid in Lithuania for a while, but guess what. Of the 3 Baltic countries, Lithuanians like foreigners the least. They would rather be the Nazis that shelter foreign Nazis. Bad news for these guys.
Try Libya, would be my advice to them.
Dräger has the tech needed.
Basically the same masks and liquid air breathing systems that they use in mine rescue. The tomb is a simple mine near the surface so tank refresh should be easy to organize. They just need to decide to do it.
If you want to find the dozens of papers she has contributed to then Google her real name
CM Blasey
She is a Biostatistician who teaches stats in a grad program at Palo Alto U
SHe has also coauthored a book on statistics
Yes, she nows a bit about Psychology because she got a Phd in it, but she is not a psychologist. And some of the papers she is coauthor of are pharma trials.
I didn't find any paper where she was the 1st author, meaning she is probably a math geek who does support for the real authors by doing their statistical analyses for them.
I've already managed to walk on water, just like Jesus.
But why do the artists always show him standing on the water like it is frozen. Haven't they ever seen a person swimming before?
Jesus learned to swim when he was studying at a Buddhist monastery in Northern India. Back in those days, the desert people were afraid of water and would never try such a thing. That John guy was a maniac, dunking people in a pool by the river Jordan.
Either you or me scared him off
Have you noticed that ebot is not a bot at all
There is a human there and he is choosy
About which anons he reacts to
Because he recognizes certain anons and is sparring with us.
