Education cannot eradicate Poverty

  • 8% of U.S. workers live paycheck to paycheck.
    • Aren’t most of them “educated?”
  • Over 45 million American graduates are drowning in $1.6 trillion of student debt and are trying to find a way out.
    • ALL of them are “educated!”
  • Inequality is growing exponentially worldwide.
    • Aren’t millions of them “educated?”
  • Why is the middle class disappearing?
    • What is wrong?

The actions we took yesterday have brought us to the life we have today. If we want something different, we have to do something different today to create a different life for tomorrow. There’s NO other way to get there.

Question: How can education end poverty?

Education is powerful for overcoming poverty, but for it to be able to do so, we must FIRST STOP INDOCTRINATING people.

The greatest enemy of knowledge is NOT ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. — Daniel Boorstin

Most schools teach people WHAT to think — NOT HOW TO THINK.

When you control a man’s thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions. You do not have to tell him not to stand here or go yonder. He will find his ‘proper place’ and will stay in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will cut one for his special benefit. His education makes it necessary. — Carter G. Woodson

Our Industrial Age educational system is broken and it’s destroying millions of lives. If we want different results than what we’re currently getting, we must have different ways of approaching the problem.
