School is Blue Pill

Thought: School is Blue Pill.

Answer: Correct.

Education has become brainwashing designed to dumb you down and prevent you from independent (separate from the herd mind) thinking.

The "darkness" which blinds you to truth is learned and will put you in monetary debt.

First they blind you then they make you a slave to debt. (you are fucked)

sir_wankalot_here · 2016-09-11T04:33:01+00:00

it's supposed to be like that!

A couple years ago, I wrote a post entitled

While you went to school to learn how to be a beta, they went to school to learn how to be an alpha.

TLDR

The difference between what is taught in schools for elite kids versus your school is elite schools are designed to create leaders. Your school is designed to create followers.

I still hold the belief that schools are primarily for making the children get accustomed to sit 5-6 hours a day, productively doing nothing worthwhile and getting their asses bored. Sounds familiar?

People don't take the time to think about the absurdity of sending kids to state-funded detention centers all day long, all across the country. It's a flat-out strange thing to do.

If you have a kid, you can actually do something about it though. They'll let you not send your kid to school if you at least have the kid do some form of basic schooling.

But then your kid's a weird homeschool kid, and no one wants that. So that's how they get you and keep your kid in the system in the end.

Oh, plus most parents are too shackled with their own working lives to pull off something as absurd as homeschooling. Gotta take advantage of that free daycare.

I'm into practical, street smart, Red Pilled type stuff...information that actually gets to the heart of the matter.

It's a huge misconception that school teaches you academic stuff instead of mundane stuff that we encounter more in our lives, and another misconception that academic stuff will never come in use in the lives of people.

Firstly I would like to make it clear that school not only doesn't teach mundane stuff that would make you street smart, it also doesn't teach you academic stuff as efficiently either. I live in India, so may be it might be a little different here than in America, but when I was in seventh grade (we are supposed to have 12 grades until high school gets completed) I had learned calculus-both differential and integral and algebra, trigonometry, and other areas of math at high school level. I was so fascinated by this stuff that I consumed almost everything I could get my hands on in math. However, I was told to instead focus on what was being taught in my class, instead of focusing on what I was interested in. I was told to focus on rote-learning history, literature, science (which to be honest could have been interesting to me if only they weren't repeating the same exact old stuff we were taught in the previous grade, and the grade before that), and other stuff which I at that time felt was really dumb compared to all that high school level mathematics. I wanted to learn more math, the theory of relativity (and I had gotten down the special theory of relativity too) and what not. But no. Instead I was forced to focus on bringing better grades for the sake of it. I was basically forced to choke all the curiosity in my mind and dumb it down to study whatever was being taught in the class and go with the pace of the average students. I'm now 22, doing my Masters in mathematics. By the time I had gotten into college, although it's perhaps one of the best science universities in my country, I still had a huge lacklustre; I had almost no more interest in math. It took me 3 years into college-after intense suffering, depression, and an F grade (we have grades starting from S to A, B, C, D and then F, F meaning fail) to finally shake some sense into me and start studying and finally an introduction to The Red Pill to finally get me studying math with as much interest as I used to when I was a kid. Even still, my GPA is really incredibly low (5.2 out of 8, which I think would translate to roughly somewhere between 2.7 and 2.9 out of 4 in America). Instead if only I had been allowed to go my own way without school teachers interfering, I might have completed my PhD thesis by now. Why aren't we allowed freedom and forced to act like a herd of sheep following whatever the shepherd says? Why? Because fuck you, that's why.

Also it is a huge misconception that academic stuff will never come in handy to people. Almost all technological advancements require advanced mathematical, programming and engineering backgrounds. This should be quite obvious.

i dont think hes saying we should get rid of school, hes saying what its become is shitty and we can do much better!

cs_throwawayyy · 2016-09-11T09:47:56+00:00

School is to convert young creative humans to law abiding routine workers who will expand the economy.

You know what's funny? The people who say fuck the school and do their own thing, end up being employers to high achieving people in schools.

School and academia is the blue pill epicentre

mdadm · 2016-09-11T01:39:13+00:00

The more I think about it the more it becomes apparent. School is just a way to break your spirit so by the time you graduate you are mentally used to the idea of giving your life and soul over to your corporate overlords.

Since childhood you're forced to get up every morning to go somewhere you hate to spend 90%+ of your day doing something that adds very little value. In other words it's like a really shitty job with no pay. Just to acclimatize you into being OK for when you have to go to a job you hate every day and come home to your cunty wife.

Thank god I was able to break the cycle. Now I'm the one breaking other people's spirits. Depressing, but this is how the world works. The easiest way to get ahead is by exploiting others with a smile on your face and patting them on the back for a job well done.

I was raised in a private school environment up to grade 10 of highschool. Spent my last remaining years at a top public highschool. The difference is staggering. Sir wankalots statement is very accurate, paid education creates higher value people.

dr_warlock · 2016-09-11T22:15:31+00:00

Your post is correct, but a bit shorter than it should be. It's an extensive topic. You should take the time to make it thorough and add links i.e. "college conspiracy", "frankfurt school", and "prussian school system" (videos and text).

Vpierdol · 2016-09-10T21:18:48+00:00

Education systems need to be viewed (in RP lens) as what they are - processes that ensure optimal fabrication of well adjusted drones. The drones are fed true information along with bullshiet and current political system mythology - in the same manner as revealed truth. Also it is a very lucrative business - textbook mob has a sheepshaving fest every year. Also just as almost every government institution - school system is a giant henhouse full of drone-level jobs for women.

anihilistlol · 2016-09-11T06:47:54+00:00

The amount of incoherent nonsense in your post is mind boggling.

The education system taught you the three Rs: reading, writing, and 'rithmetic. These are the basic fundamental skills of functioning in a civilized society. Take a look at the state of third world countries to know how important the education system in the US really is.

That being said, the education system was built for the average functioning human. If you want to go beyond average, then you need to learn more in your own time.

RedPillFreedom · 2016-09-11T06:52:41+00:00

School started at 4 for me pre k

Then you stay in school till you finish college.

After the pill, I can confirm that you learn the best via reading on my own.

soviet_dissident · 2016-09-11T21:23:26+00:00

Institutionalized schooling is not meant to educate you; it is meant to indoctrinate you with propaganda and condition you with absurd bells, excessive standardized tests, false history (e.g., the fabricated history of the Great Depression, slavery, really almost anything they teach), politicized gender roles (i.e., feminism), premature exposure to sexualized material, nationwide social experiments (see Common Core math and reading methods), etc.

It creates an artificial social construct where children of the same age compete with one another for the teacher's attention and for status in a completely fabricated environment (which doesn't exist anywhere in nature). In real life, a child would be exposed to the world, learning from his elders about the state of things and how they work. School is abstracted away from the metaphysics of the real world, so that kids either become so bored that they cease to think (sometimes for the rest of their lives) or they "think" about things in terms that are set for them by the establishment (i.e., the existence of the welfare state is never questioned, but rather students are encouraged to spin their wheels on false dichotomies).

The real failure of schooling can be seen by the naked eye around you: how many people do you know who have emerged with good reading/writing, analytical, and practical skills after 12+ years of government schooling? Spending per pupil has tripled since the 1960s, yet education has continually gotten worse. Of course, the leftist teachers and administrators don't give a shit about the kids---the primary role of the education bureaucracy is adult employment and its own perpetuation.

I also recommend Gatto's work, especially Weapons of Mass Instruction. Dr. Duke Pesta also has some incredible talks on this subject.

TheWaterTemple · 2016-09-10T22:03:50+00:00

You don't really think a socialist model for education is the best way to do it, right?

I believe this is your central theme. Of course a statist, coercive means of organizing education is not the way to go. It takes a special person to believe everything should be provided for them. Women and blue pill followers sadly outnumber us.

School is not inherently blue pill. Individualism is not blue pill. Dependence on the state is blue pill.

ThomasHobbesROK · 2016-09-11T12:10:28+00:00

School was useful until at least the end of primary school. I thank the state for teaching me how to read and write, add and subtract, how old the Earth is and where to find France on a map.

Nearly everything after that though is just the biggest bunch of bullshit. High School maths might apply to 5% of jobs. Uni is even worse. Half the class doesn't even turn up to law lectures after a few weeks and this is considered completely normal. I have learned far more from browsing Wikipedia than in the last 10 years of schooling.

Granted - there are many opportunities to socialize, whether is was army cadets in high school or the annual law ball. You're eventually forced to learn how to deal with other people and fit in or you'll remain isolated and unpopular, a key skill.

Still, I just know that the first full-time job I turn up to the first thing out of the boss's mouth will be 'forget everything they've already taught you'. Wish I could have started working full-time at 18 then spend 4/5 years at uni.

prodigy2throw · 2016-09-11T15:50:03+00:00

School may be blue pill but the guys don't have to be. Teach your kids to game the system and they'll come out on top.

[deleted] · 2016-09-11T16:12:47+00:00

School teaches you how to be controlled.

Some of my teachers were real assholes. They would use shame and humiliation to keep control over the class. Particularly the female teachers.

You couldn't win by arguing with them, no matter how wrong they were. If you weren't aware yet, most people are sheep and terrified of authority. Not many men will stand up and make a stand for something.

Many students would actually side with the teachers when an argument broke out with a student. You were essentially mentally beaten back into place if you ever spoke out.

The biggest lesson I felt they were trying to teach was this :

"Sit down, shut up and do as you're told"

It discouraged critical thinking, creativity and self-confidence. Like many things in the world, it's designed by the powerful to control the weak.

Is it no wonder so many men are so hopelessly blue-pill after being forced into an environment like that? Only the strong will come out the other side without being a pussified loser with nothing between their legs.

Personally I learned how to get on my teachers good side by placating them. I learned how to manipulate people better. That's it.

Mckallidon · 2016-09-12T03:21:43+00:00

Lolz. This made me laugh inside because I always knew there was something horribly wrong with our education system. And not just because of stupid women teachers. I used to skip classes in high school to read real books because of how goddam bored I was. Then come to find out when my grandfathers were in high school they used to box and shoot rifles. Wtf happened?

LEVELFIVE · 2016-09-12T12:00:06+00:00

So how exactly can I apply this to my life? Should I drop out of school and start a business? Invest in real estate?

backdoorbum · 2016-09-11T06:06:44+00:00

school is day care ya faggot

it's literally there because parents work 9-5

also thanks to the (((them))) we have a shitty """diverse""" society so if we got rid of public school the minorities would revolt

just fuck my western civilization up fam

why didn't the Romans crucify all the Jews again?

skyderper12 · 2016-09-10T21:12:27+00:00

yes and for 2 centuries half the people couldnt read either, you've learned nothing in school? your parents taught you arithmetic and english?

OSaraiva · 2016-09-11T14:33:30+00:00

The school system is crammed, packed, with women and blue pilled socialists, which are more or less women as well.

It's ridiculous how every year the school is more accessible for everyone to pass without any trouble, and the lone skill set you need is to memorize whatever bullshit is spat by your teacher, which is severely destructive for any curious, thinking boy and a wonder for those lazy brained girls who get through the school system through writing a lot. And dare not defy the mistress who oversees your class, whichever it is! That's half way to get you into a (way) worse grade than the HDD machine girls in the front row.

That's not even in the US. But it is really (really) a cancer among our democratic systems, and may as well be the second major thing that's bringing the downfall we are noticing in young peoples lives.
