Love it when it snows

It seems that there is truth in your sayings Djones...

Education cannot be legislated, forced or accomplished by any means unless there is a motivation or burning desire on the part of the so called student, assuming you have a competent teacher to begin with, which you probably don’t. I’m not really seeing this education thing happening. It’s a pretty thought, though. Remember, when you hear a loud rumbling that sounds like a steam locomotive headed towards your house, head for the basement. If you’re in your car don’t remain there. 

You are right Geoffkait...

But the desire and love for truth begins before formal education... And it is also a choice of society...A choice that can be valorized...

When a great part of a society does not valorize truth, but agendas, the first consequence is social chaos...

Guess where we can observe these facts at different levels of manifestation ? Pick a country and put that country in the scale consisting of 3 levels : Valorize truth mostly, half and half society, and finally those that does not valorize truth or cannot valorize truth no more...You will have the 3 steps toward chaos...

This is true not only for all compared societies on earth now but it is true for each one of them in the different steps of his own history...

Knowledge can be defined as whatever’s left after you subtract out all the mumbo jumbo you forgot since you got out of school. From what I can tell most folks go to school to get a degree so they can get a good job. It has precious little to do with either the desire to learn or truth. 

Your observation even being right does not annihilate the true desire for truth in human being.... This desire is like hunger when people are not totally programmed or destroyed by the environmental conditions (war or political chaos or lies)...This desire for truth is the only food with love that human needs...I will silence myself here because I will pass for a preacher.... :)

Perhaps it is the reason I loved mathematics so much, there is no lies there, and in there is the foetus of the science of tomorrow...I am optimist only because of that fact that I can clearly see...
