a big problem we
realy need to start worrying about education! Why? The shool will
always(!) simplify things to teach them to children. This has beend
the case and always was the case. If you talk to higher educated
people what they think is right what is being teached from their area
of knownledge in the school (e.g. chemistry). you'll always here "this
is wrong what they teach!" but this is the case. Children should not
care about every detail for everything. This is what later education
is for where you specialise for an area... everything before is "a
little bit true, but not the full truth". I can give you examples of
how children are being teached on how sulfuric acid is being produced
but what they are being teached will _never_ work.... you can't load
them with 1000000 details of 100000 areas of science.
Besides, worker drones don't need to know history, much less
ACCURATE history, only whether we are currently at war with
Eurasia, Eastasia, or Oceania, along with examples of the
atrocities committed by whichever one(s) we are currently at war with.
And, besides those inducted into the anointed corporate computer
programming priesthood, the only computer science that the public
needs to know is how to use the "APPS" for the digital sweatshop.
Teaching that Jobs invented the computer simplifies the task of
training "good citizens".
Just let MiniTrue write the textbooks that are best for us.
MiniTrue RecDep can rectify the historical records.
