STEM Education and Scientism - the curse of modern education. We need a renaissance

Education, education, education, said Prime Minister Tony Blair. He meant indoctrination, indoctrination, indoctrination of course. The thing the Politically Correct intellectual bullies of the new left fear most is an educated working class capable of questioning the dogmas of the scientific dictatorship.

In common with Bill Clinton, Gerhard Schroeder and Jaques chirac in his own ear, and Barack Obama, Angela Merkel and Francois hollande among the current generation Blair, extolled the benefits of the STEM education, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, subjects on which, in the view od politicians, all education should focused from a very early age.

It's bollocks of course, from an early age children need to be given a broad base on which they can later build their specialisations later. The Renaissance education which my generation had the benefit of, was designed to do this. It produced whole, rounded human beings not nerds with heads full off book learning and no life experience, or semi - autistic OCD bell ends who get twithchy if the have not heard the word 'science' for more than thirty seconds.

The values and purposes of Renaissance education were to improve the society, increase the economy, and refine religious beliefs by equipping people to question dogma. The social lives of people were greatly influenced by advancements in education during the Renaissance. More people then ever before were sent to schools and educated.

The Theory of The Renaissance Education or Liberal Arts Education as it is sometimes called was that a broad grounded in language, mathematics, the arts and natural sciences (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) prepares its graduates to pursue a wide range of interests in later life.

Rather than producing highly focused people with a very narrow skill set, the Renaissance Education should equip those who benefit from it to pursue a wide range of interests throughout their lives.

Hi John, LOL, Big Brother here. We have been watching your online activity for a while and have an offer for you. You collect every bit of dirt you can on the people in your street or we will make sure your wife gets to know about Roxy in Wolverhapton. Yes John, cooperate or your wife, your children and all your reltions, friends and colleagues will know about your penchant for chicks with dicks. Now remember John, don't do anything rash, Big Brother is watching via the internet.

Technology pundits and Microsoft watchers have been surprised by the slow sales of the latest Windows version, Win 8. But when they find what nasty little tricks Microsoft have been collaborating with the US Government on, maybe they will be asking why any sane person would buy a Windows 8 system. Is it any wonder people are browsing on their mobile devices (although Android is almost as bad as Windows ans Apple iOS.

Area 51: Another Million Points To The Conspiracy Theorists

Helllllooooooo all you truth deniers out there. So Area 51 is real.

Remember how you used to rubbish everything us truth seekers told you, those open minded people who question everything and think for ourselves?

"Oh no, the government would never lie to us," you said, "oh no, scientists would never participate in a Conspiracy of silence with politicians and big Business there are no conspiracies except in your fevered imaginations" you told us. Area 51 is a fairy story, the government is not experimenting with changing the weather and 'the science is settlled.'

Now don't get the idea I totally believe this stuff. I don't disbelieve it either, but I do know from personal experience governments cover up a lot of intersting information. In fact I have been part of cover ups (not about UFOs but, well without giving official secrets away, exposing people to nasty shite while denying it was harmful. My approach to Area 51 then is, I don't care much if UFOs are real or not.

My reason for posting such items is that some people, whose belief in reason, order and logic should be pitied, get so would up at even jokey references to UFOs, ghosts, paranormal activity etc. that it's our duty to annoy them. And another thing, if these eejits are so sure UFOs etc. don't exist, why do they get so worked up about people talking of such things. I mean I'm sure God does not exist but I would not dream of telling other people they should not pray or talk about The Bible.

Are We Being Brainwashed To Accept Transhumanism (human / robot hybrids)?

We live in a world of deception and illusion, nothing is what it seems to be. It what was claimed to be the last basion of free speech, The Internet, has been hijacked by government and corporate propagandists, what can we trust? And all the time, mad scientists are plotting to turn us into humandroids, human / machine hybrids.

OK, you can yell "Conspiracy Theory" if you like, there is even a word for it in scientific circles, Transhumanism. The Wikipedia entry for that presents a pretty scary picture. here's an extract:

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+ or h+) is an international cultural and intellectual movement with an eventual goal of fundamentally transforming the human condition by developing and making widely available technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.^[1] Transhumanist thinkers study the potential benefits and dangers of emerging technologies that could overcome fundamental human limitations, as well as study the ethical matters involved in developing and using such technologies. They predict that human beings may eventually be able to transform themselves into beings with such greatly expanded abilities as to merit the label "posthuman"
