What is the purpose of education? Is it to educate you so that you become a more thoughtful, more creative or wiser person? Is it to teach you how to think for yourself? No. It’s to prepare you for work and to train you to become obedient to what society expects from you.

Our exposure to toxic stress begins at a very early age. It starts in earnest the moment we attend school for the first time.
We are taught to take education seriously. We are told that our education will shape and govern our lives. We are told that if we work hard at school and at college we will reap the benefits later.
What we are told is true.
But we are not told the price that we will have to pay for our years of education. We are never told the price that society expects us to pay in return for having our lives shaped and improved.
To understand the potential costs to your spirit and your soul you must first understand the purpose of the education society is offering you. You must understand what society stands to gain from the deal you are being offered. Sadly, nothing that society offers you ever comes free. An education is certainly no exception. The main reason society offers to educate you is to prepare you for work. Society doesn’t want to educate you so that you become a more thoughtful, more creative or wiser person. What would be the point of that? Society doesn’t want to broaden your horizons or enhance your sense of vision. Society doesn’t want to instil passion in you (that can be troublesome and inconvenient) and it doesn’t want you to know how to think for yourself (that can be costly and disruptive).
What society really wants is obedience.
Society, the social structure which we have created but which has now acquired a strength and a force of its own (inspired by its own need to survive) values obedience highly and rewards the obedient more than any other group. Society knows that the obedient will work hard without question. Society knows that the obedient can be relied upon to do work that is dull, repetitive and possibly even dangerous. Society knows that the obedient are unlikely to be troubled by spiritual or moral fears. Society knows that the obedient will fit neatly into whatever hierarchy may exist and society knows that the obedient will put loyalty above honesty and integrity. Society will always reward those who are obedient because that shows other people the value of obedience! If you become obedient then you will also become a good and reliable customer. You will buy things that you don’t need and so help society to evolve and stay strong. You will accept shoddy workmanship and unreliability without complaint. You will accept new fashions as necessary and you will buy new clothes and a new car when society wants you to buy these things – not when you need them. The obedient customer is a passive customer and the passive customer is the best customer.
Think back to your own education and you’ll see how important obedience was. Any course which involves a textbook and a teacher and concludes with an examination of some sort is designed to prevent thought and to encourage blind obedience. The educational system prepares you for a life in a meritocracy where nothing is more meritorious than silent obedience.
If you were a good student then you will have been rewarded.
If your education was successful – on society’s terms – then you will have been offered choices that marked you for life. Whatever profession you choose to follow society will have taught you to feel special. You will have been encouraged to believe that you are superior to all those who do not have your own special skills. You will have been taught to feel contempt for those who do not have your authority. You will have been taught prejudices rather than truths.
You must remember that the aim of a modern education is to harness the minds of the imaginative or potentially disruptive. Such people are dangerous to a smooth-running society. Society’s schoolteachers are prepared and willing to manipulate the minds of the young because that is what society expects them to do in return for their own status in society. Everything is designed to help produce a neat and layered world.
The price you pay for your education is a high one. And the more successful your education is in society’s terms (and the higher your position in the meritocracy) the greater the price you must pay. You will be marked for life. Your choices – or the choices that society helped you to make – will have strictly defined the boundaries of your life. You may be better rewarded (in material terms) than many of those who were less capable of satisfying the system but the price you pay will be higher too. The price you pay for educational success is intellectual constraint. You pay for your success with your freedom. You pay for your success with guilt, frustration, dissatisfaction and boredom.
The modern educational system is designed to support the structure of our society but it is also a major force in the development of toxic stress.

I was a ‘good’ student. i graduated from gr 13 in 1960, U of Toronto in 1964, MA in 1980. It took a crash with a dump truck in 1971 to show me the fallacy of what we learn in school, How it makes the unquestioning robotic success that spawned the recent worldwide debacle. Few of us escaped, few of us questioned, few of us are doing more than waiting for the next governmental lock-down. the latest plastic as food, the latest government assisted death. We used to be sheep, now we are lemmings. Vernon, you are my truth telling hero.
Albert Einstein: “question, question, question everything!”
Thank you, Vernon.
There is a reason the Spanish word for “education” is FORMACIÓN.
The word means TRAINING.
I studied literature. Until one day when I asked myself: How come all these theories have been CHOSEN for me to study? The authors who wrote the literature must have seen so much! Not just books. I need to SEE for myself, not just read what has been fed to me.
I therefore went traveling, and my journey lasted for more than 20 years.
It´s good and well to be knowledgeable, informed and skilled but there is a thin line between that and being so “educated” others who don´t have the same training are considered “uneducated.” That´s arrogance, and is not in any way enlightened.
Teachers should not be lecturers.
This is why education is “mandatory”.

Public schooling was developed by the Prussians (pre-NAZI Germany) in the late 1800s. Here is a YouTube video that explains the history of Public schooling which was designed to indoctrinate children to obey their leaders. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZp7eVJNJuw&t=24s
I see this in my own town – the successful ones on the top of the hill in their big mansions, posh 4x4s, Tesla EVs, six holidays a year etc. were the worst people during the Convid – all obeyed the orders without question and even tried to enforce them on others – and all queued up for the toxic jab at the local concert hall in droves – all day long – I tried warning them but just received abuse. Now they are dying of tumours, cancers etc. but do not or do not want to equate that to the jabs they took. Thoroughly nasty and cowardly people which you know will do exactly the same again. However, it was fun (in a naughty way) to see them run away when you approached them without a mask 🙂 The good news is that the less well off people locally are all clued up to what is happening (with a little of my help). Best wishes to all.
Hi Raj, I also noticed that it was those who placed their trust in education who were the most avid supporters of the covid measures.
What you’re referring to as the “less well off” I refer to as the “street wise.” while there are street wise people in the middle classes, this sort of wisdom tends to be a more common characteristic among those who’ve had to rely on an honest day’s wages, hard work, common sense and ingenuity to make their way through life. I put it down to they’ve been through the school of hard knocks (rather than handed things on a silver platter) and so they’re used to thinking on their feet and solving their own problems.
Britain is, as it has been for centuries, a caste system. The lower caste (the poor) are put through school to teach them just enough to be able to function as a slave. The trash caste (the rich) are all educated in private schools where there are no foreigners to drag down the standards, all the teachers are english speaking, no perversion, no dei, no drug dealers at the gates. The caste system is built that way to keep it that way.

Couldn’t agree with you more if I tried!!!
When you use the word ‘society’ which I see as a description of the peoples in any given country, I am confused by your use of the word and feel it might be better to use words like, ‘the powers that control what goes on’ or ‘the control freaks’ or ‘the cabal’ or ‘the elite’, or even the government, because it certainly helped bring this education system into being. Together with their minions, they are the ones who control ‘society’. Other than the use of that word I agree one hundred percent with your description of our education system and its outcome for most of society. (The majority of ordinary people, not ‘wealthy society’. Depending on which dictionary one looks at, one will find either meaning, or both)
