Unschooling in the 15th Century.

"Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in. "

- Leonardo Da Vinci

This is from a guy in the 15th Century.

Paraphrased:

"If you have to learn stuff, without really wanting to, it wont stick."

The 15th Century.


This is a guy who is regarded as one of the greatest minds of, well, Ever. And we still have this Lame School System, Force-feeding knowledge to the masses.
Everyone knows the school system is broken, but we have known it was broken


For Five-Hundred Years


Five-Hundred Years

You would think some one would have instituted a better system in FIVE-HUNDRED YEARS.

Have you seen that T.V. show, "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" well it should really be titled "are you smarter than a 5th grade textbook?" of course these people are smarter than 5th graders, just at different things, like Brain Surgery. Or Banking.

The reason these people don't remember these things is that they were forced to learn them, they were forced to learn about, say, the political situation of 12th century Europe, who really uses the political situation of 12th century Europe in their day to day lives? I mean Seriously! Unless you are going to be a Professor of Medieval Politics, it is useless.

Useless.


It will continue to be useless for another five-hundred years, no matter what they say about "Individualism" and "Not following the crowd". The Government does NOT want Individuals. {i.e. Artists, Poets, Architects, Forward-Thinkers, you know, Smart People.} They want Worker-Bees. {i.e. Machinists, Checkers, Cubicle Workers, et cetera.}
Because frankly, they are easier to control. Cubicle Workers don't generally lead uprisings against the Establishment. Forward-Thinkers Do.

And on that note I bid you

the debate over Jack rages on, Jack, or No Jack?

today in Legopolis the debate about Jack rages on. as you may know Legopolis is the largest city in the Legopolian Tri-State Area, and with large cities come many differing points of view. And even among the greatest minds of the country there is bound to be some argument.  49% of the great minds say that There is no such thing as Jack. the entire world was nothing and then, it was. 50% of the Great minds Say that the other 49% of the great minds are stupid, and that the only possible Explanation is that some all-knowing being created everything, the other 49% say that that is ridiculous, as they had done the math and this "Jack" would have to 188.8 bricks tall, an impossible number as bricks only split into thirds, so there. the 49% calmly asks where the 50% got this number?  they reply that they got it from a …foot…print…that…Dr. Zachary Smith… …found,

"Oh."

as that dawns on the 49% of the great minds Dr. Smith himself enters the room. 

"What did i miss?"
