Evel Knievel

Education is more than regurgitating rote material.

The surest way for a business, or country, or even household to start deteriorating is for the people to be kept uneducated and fed truisms by those with an agenda.

There is a difference between technical training and a classical education. It is one thing to learn how  follow directions and remember rules. It is something else to research, compile ideas and use them to come up with a well thought out conclusion.

People need to learn to think. Critically, carefully, thoughtfully.

It may not be the fastest way to get things done, or cause the least trouble, but it will serve the world better.

People will bend over backwards trying to do the right thing, but if Evel Knievel is just standing up there shouting directions and the people are mindlessly obeying?

That is dangerous! One day there will be a pitfall and all those direction followers will not be told it is there.
