Can I add the adults of the public education system to the list of Romans? They are fully onboard of teaching the children conformity and obeying without common sense or, heaven forbid, using critical thinking for all of society. I'm constantly amazed at how far this has gone in the world today.😮
Completely agreed! On your point near the end about "secular schooling" being a misnomer, it reminded me of what I've told a lot of people lately concerning AI (I'm working on the Spirit of Satoshi project, so it's on my mind a lot). Lots of individuals and governments are clamoring for an "unbiased" AI, but that's just as impossible as a "secular" school. Bias is just another term for worldview, and neither schooling nor AI can escape that, since both are built from human beings with their own worldviews. And the more one tries to build either one without a bias/worldview, the more that evil, Caesarian, "woke" worldviews sneak in (ChatGPT is a perfect example of this). So the solution isn't to try to make 1 school system or AI (which is really just a language probability machine, like a super complex autocomplete) that's completely neutral to all worldviews, but for people everywhere to make countless schools/AIs, each with their own worldview, and let the free market decide which one adheres most closely to the actual truth. At Spirit of Satoshi, we're doing that by building an AI with a Bitcoin-Austro-Libertarian worldview, but I look forward to seeing many more with a variety of different worldviews. I hope/wish more people can do that for school, as well. May the system (for AI or school) that's closest to reality win.
However, we have to be careful. The other extreme of Christian nationalism also drives a wedge between peoples in the world, breeding discord. We need people to seek universal truth, universal values, in addition to our fulness.
and the Stephanie's point, any time a discussion is brought up the first critique is"your being judgemental" but that wasn't working so someone came up with that put down. i am christian, therefore to anyone that is secular i am extreme and nationalistic. therefore i can be called that misnomer, whether you can read my mind or not, and know what kind of a person i am because you can label me a extreme christian nationalist. so asking a definition is the bare minimum.
So you are saying that peopld are leaving the Church because of secular education? People are leaving the church because of the lies taught by the leaders and parents.
And because the more you study the teachings of Christ in the Gospels, the more you realize the Church and it's leaders have always preached and practiced opposite to them.
Your content and perspective desperately need to reach more people (faithful, head in the sand, members). For some reason, based on the comments, it’s only reaching a few anti Mormons…
I'm finally starting to understand this libertarian perspective about public education. Still think Connor is too committed to the ideals to appreciate compromise. His Romney criticisms always feel a little harsh and unwarranted. His effort to push his children's angel tv series makes sense in this light though. So what exactly would the plan be if education went private in the US? Sell facilities to the highest bidder?Where would poor kids go to school? I see the problem now but don't see a great solution
As in Mitt Romney? You call implementing 65% unconstitutional laws aka tyrannical laws as harsh and unwarranted? What about the extremely harsh repercussions from having tyrannical laws? Have you experienced any of that? Thank God Romney is gone!
