Not the liberal arts I had.
Let me teach the kids about philosophy and mind expansion.
And can't we just be a community as humanity?

Not if we are forced to follow the commandments of the FSM. The ugliest god ever invented. I say, rebel now, cast off your chains of noodles.

What we should really have is a school divided into two types of learning. Philosophical teachings to help expand consciousness, and real world classes that teach the ego.
The former is largely missing from society and is a vital part of being a spiritual being, which you are.

Generally speaking, the issue of education has always bothered me as an anarcho-capitalist. It's an ideological black hole for me. I don't think the state is doing a good job with education (or with anything else, for that matter), but what will happen if every parent had completely free reign in educating their children? Seeing as most parents are irrational, religious and uneducated, it could be even worse...
The Diamond Age has the best guess at how this could be done (and if we aim for it, how it will be done), which is through phyles. People will organize themselves into culturally similar groups, and as groups, families and all, will compete against other groups. This also means making sure their children are the best educated, so that they can outperform their competitors, in both skills and status.
Haven't read it, but it doesn't seem like my cup of tea. Anarchism is all about the individual. How are these "Phyles" all that different from nation-states?
In the book, they are not limited by geography. Just as you can be a Bitcoiner or Trekkie anywhere in the world, you could be a member of a phyle. It gives you community membership, status as being an accepted member of that community, and benefits provided exclusively to members. Since they are not geographic, they are also completely voluntary.

I for one, being a true atheist, would be watching this from afar. They may wrap their noodles around my neck and try to hang me from the nearest tree, but my cheese powder is strong and my crushed peppers rule. I will spear them with my fork and steely knives, their noodles being split asunder and their meatballs drawn and quartered.
With no mercy shall I attack the onslaught of the minions of noodledom, leaving naught one sliced mushroom left to see another sunrise.

We've already saw this in many places, for example, Northern Ireland, it didn't went well.
Public education should be in the hands of scientists and scholars, no need for indoctrination in the public system.

The Diamond Age seemed dystopian to me. I'm afraid most groups would devolve into tribe-like superstitious xenophobic cults that support themselves by specializing in certain fields, much like Heaven's Gate did in the 90's. Phyles wouldn't necessarily need to outperform competitors, just do well enough to survive and propagate.

We create the patterns of our reality because it's what we believe. We believe we can't fly so we can't. Beliefs formulate our reality, you see what you believe you see, don't you?
So in the entire history of the world, no one has ever thought they could fly, and that is the reason no one ever has? You believe you're going to be the first person ever to break the laws of nature and defy gravity?
This is why no one can talk with you - you have no touch with reality.
I'm not the first person, ask the Yogis.

If you are capable in believing more than what meets the eye, it may indeed meet the eye.
If that were the case, how come people in mental institutions don't have superpowers? Oh wait, because it's not possible.Jump to:
