Episode 4.15: Our self-reinforcing web of values and beliefs is a major part of the problem.

Education inevitably reinforces and teaches whatever set of values and beliefs are already woven into the web of a culture. Therefore, if that web is part of the problem rather than a key to the solution, education teaches the very things that are the source of the problem rather than a key to its solution. Inevitably those schooled in that culture will say of any radically new proposal “that will never work“, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t voice alternatives to the system because the system is incapable of reformation from within without those additional initially unpopular and misunderstood impulses and stimuli.
