We are in an era where education has been transformed to aiedeucation. Currently, the mental shortcuts we have learned to use have set our sense of reality and values out of wack. It’s a product of capitalism; its nothing more than what we’ve agreed to, and possibly everything we need… but how has this really affected us? Will the kids of tomorrow be programmed similarly? Are we entering a state of progress, a never-ending process, or just, becoming better professionals?
Well, the youth of America is having an identity crisis – we’ve probably all contemplated our own existence, but, Since the Educational Establishment has also surrendered to the capitalistic values of corporate America, kids are counting M&Ms, and watching sponsored programming while they read the Abercrombie & Fitch logo on their teacher’s chest all day. As abbreviations, acronyms, and other symbols stick to the front of our minds, content and contextual information skills come afterwards, forever restricting our abilities to form and express new thoughts. Further, behaviorisms and chemical properties take part, and kids may be diagnosed with disorders by exposing inconsistent or irrational thought patterns from which the pharmaceutical companies might have instilled in the first place.
The time we take to process and store new ideas is so low that they stay with us, well, about as long as it takes us to digest a bitty piece of bubblegum. (But wait, isn’t that, like ten years? Psyche!) But what about the real American values, like freedom and democracy? Why does the American Eagle have so many cute clothes? Why would we rather define ourselves in immeasurable concepts than compare ourselves to a bird?
The computers systems are improving their use and capabilities for information storage, but we may be sacrificing more skills than we thought needed for the upmost proficiency. As ad-agencies compete with embedded religious values and inherited family memories in our brains, there begins a great struggle between irrationally-derived associations, those which are hierarchical, and those which are on a scale. Mind you, however, the ones we do choose to remember are often because of irrational reasoning schemes: Method to madness, reason from doubt. Personal Choice (to me, PC). Rhymes. Times. Numbers. Graphs. Whatever that’s boring.



In using out-dated teaching methods, the very art of thinking and information processing has hindered free-thought and institutionalized knowledge.
