  • [Audio] Are there any books that are specific to the topic (education) we were discussing today? Any books that are to-the-point about education?

     

     

    Not to my knowledge.

    There are certain books on behaviorism, like Skinner, but it's not exactly about this. There is a section in Jacque's book, 'The Best That Money Can't Buy', on education. If you want to educate children, teach them what is going on in the real world, teach them the physical reality of the real world. It starts with...

    Stay away from Mickey Mouse Clubs and all the fairy tales that children are given. Bring them up with reality. There is enough excitement in reality, you don't need fairy tales. It's tough enough to deal with the real world.

    Children have to undo all of that, too, and it is very difficult. You will give them a real head start, if you teach them how nature works, how mechanics work, how machines work...

     ...And the theory of religion. That is a theory, because it is not based upon fact. The theory of evolution is based on findings. It's based on research. It's based on comparative anatomy of earlier people that lived long before us, it's based upon something. Religion is based upon superstition, feelings, convictions that people have within themselves, but it's not based on anything that can be demonstrated.

    Teach them science, and teach them about this type of direction for the future, what an alternative could be for the future.

    Don't forget, many people today are against abortion, because they feel that it takes a life. How come they don't line up when we go to war, which takes the lives of thousands of people, and millions of children, and pregnant women, and older people. War is the most horrible expression of humanity. Why don't they oppose war? Because they are very simple people, and they don't seem to understand the effectiveness of one system against another. They have no methods of evaluation. They are highly unqualified.
