Hi Indyvidual,

Peter Ridd may be able to influence the think tank - The
Institute of Public Affairs, but not sure about the government.

Dear Indyvidual,

--»a better future lies in education, and not in some pack-drill in a boot camp!«--
«That's been the catch-cry for longer than than anyone can remember»

The credit for it goes to Paul.

«Less than a handful of "educated" are actually worth half the salaries they're on»

That line of thought seems to explain your other ideas: if people's worth can be measured in money, then that legitimises enslaving, conscripting and "enlightening" people to recognise and obey their masters.

«As I keep saying, a well-functioning society is a symbiosis»

Research into what makes "a well-functioning society", first requires an agreement as to the desirable function of society. I don't believe we have one.

Dear Paul,

«I believe education is a tool that improves ones aspiration to "self happiness"»

I agree, but I don't think that schools and universities usually provide education. Some are lucky to have an outstanding teacher who does, but not as a rule. Rather, schools and universities teach people how to cope in a modern world - that is mitigation, not education.

As far as happiness goes, we seem to agree.

Indyvidual- There are people on this forum that are anti-nation, anti-culture, anti-tradition, anti-future for my people, anti-white, Anglophobic, pro-genocide, anti-self determination, pro-authoritarian, pro-slave morality, pro-envy, pro-universalist, pro-victim, anti-ethnicity...

If intelligent people don't want to spend all their time cleaning we can find more efficient ways to clean- without giving these low jobs to people of low culture (as the woke would have us do). Some of us value self sufficiency- and self determination- that is my culture- there are no bad jobs only bad people. I don't want other cultures feeding off of my culture- just as I don't want to feed off other cultures. Doesn't mean that I don't occasionally want to watch a Chinese film- but I don't want to engage with an artificial multiculturalism- enforced by the woke fashion police.

Universities have slowly acquired roles traditionally reserved for distributed tradesmen and tradeswomen in training apprentices- this has given them centralized power- unchecked by natural human hierarchical processes and structures- universities were traditionally for professionals. University arrogance and dominance and tyranny has become a harmful influence in society- that needs to end. University power needs to be broken down and distributed throughout the community based on some sort of subsidiarity. Democracy is based on the principle of distribution of power. Engineers need to be spending a larger proportion of their training on the job and in the laboratory to understand the needs of their community rather than dictating to the community. Doctors need to be spending a higher proportion of their training interacting with patients, enrolled nurses were trained under the apprenticeship programs separate from the power of universities, etc. A juxtaposition of academic community detachment concurrent with the community voice in the media is absurd.

Universities seem to hold students and society as ideological hostages to their arbitrary woke whims.

But Western nations have long functioned under the auspices of the Westminster System and the Principle Of Separation Of Powers.

Down with the world university dictatorship that is loyal only to themselves. End the university manufacture of consent and censorship

There are also those that overpopulate their own nations then want to populate the nations of others.

One thing desperately needed in tertiary education is a return to Teachers' Colleges where learning how to actually teach was part of the qualification.

"self happiness"
Paul1405 & Yuyutsu,
At the cost of other's happiness ? For integrity-devoid at the cost of diligent & responsible citizens ? I think you're confusing opportunity with opportunistic.
We can see it playing out in recent & present wars where those of defending age are seeking refuge in countries which send plenty of aid to defend but many choose to leave their fellow citizens to the unenviable task whilst they themselves start demonstrations here in safety & housed & fed by the host Nation.
