> It's frustrating as hell that so many of our teaching problems have obvious answers that are in many ways better for the students anyways, but those answers just aren't systemically or economically feasible. Maybe they'll have to become more viable as our current, ultra-mechanical system breaks. I think it’s a lie that they aren’t feasible, just like it’s a lie that sustainable, small-scale agriculture isn’t feasible. It’s more that the powerful are only interested in developing centralized systems because those are the ones they can control and profit from. You can’t indoctrinate without a standardized education system, you can’t price-fix without a monopoly/oligopoly, you can’t brainwash an entire population unless everyone’s watching the same thing controlled by the same entity. That said, it’s true that decentralized, sustainable systems aren’t feasible so long as there are people on earth vying for power over others.
