Education

Ignorance is a bliss.

Knowledge is a drug.
When we have it, we desire more.

Newton.
Einstein.
Galileo.
Aristotle.
Marie Curie.
Faraday.
Watson.
Gregor Mendel.


All these people can be considered legendary.
And they contribute to our education today(along with countless other unsung heroes).
Everything that we ever learn from our school is from great discoveries, great theories from these past people.

And, we are supposed to learn and understand all of their reasoning.
Doesn't that make us even more legendary than them?

If we are trapped in such a understanding and reasoning from great people of the past.
How can we ever find the breakthrough ourselves?

Those great people of the past.
They didn't have many "great people of the past" to learn from.
That's what made them great.
They are able to learn "first-hand" rather than "second-hand".

Newton strayed from mainstream education.
Calculus was born, classical gravity/optics was theorized.

Einstein, the only one from the list above who is from the 20th century.
He had to content with the education we are going through.
Einstein loathed the rout education system.

But even he was victimized.
Constrained by Newton's model, Einstein himself did not believe that the universe is expanding even though his own theory is saying so.


Is something wrong with the education system?
Things that are "maybe wrong" are taught to us as "facts".

Drug that comes so often, so steadily, so constantly, so readily.
When "high" is so consistent that it is just flat.
Can it still be considered drug?
Can it still be considered knowledge?
