I agree with you on both points, and the third (these people are idiots), but I’m happy to debate you anyways.
I think that we must actively dismantle traditional forms of knowledge (copyrights, private libraries, most of education) in favor of developing new completely open archives and internet based methods of organizing, developing, and interacting with knowledge.
Does that do it for you?
I guess we’ll have to learn how to do that.
For a lot of people, education is “we will hold a gun to your head until you pass the exam”. For a lot of people, education is seminary school, and in many circles the priests are the best educated folks around.
If I don’t send my kids to school, a nice lady with a uniform and a gun comes around, and this is ‘civilization’?
It sounds like you’re worried education will, ‘become Bible school at the point of a gun’, but where I am it already is, and these aren’t the new models I’m talking about.
I’m talking about free access and communication as the pillars of education.
