If an education system were performing a sort of creative/reasoning lobotomy, one might expect a resulting society overwhelmed by helplessness in the face of the few unlobotomized, unable to generate solutions or collaborate productively, and consumed by impotent reactivity
...and one might even anticipate that society being *wholly defensive* of the lobotomy: unable to evaluate whether the success metrics offered to them make *any* sense, inclined to accept apparent truisms over evidence, uninterested in & unwilling to experiment with alternatives
I really enjoyed @DavidDeutschOxf analysis of this and static societies in The Beginning of Infinity. Anti-rational memes relentlessly and automatically evolve to lobotomize whole societies. Good times
I finally ordered @DavidDeutschOxf's books this weekend, as he seems determined to right my ship via Twitter... and because I've finally made enough progress through my shelves to justify my own indefensible fear of dying in a pile of unread books
This nicely confirms my preconceptions but doesn't mesh with the evidence: 1) If true, we should expect a much higher proportion of homeschooled leaders & innovators. Empirically, any benefits of homeschooling can be reduced to selection effects. >
> 2) As @bryan_caplan notes, schools can't even achieve most of the goals they explicitly strive for, so it's quite a stretch to assume unintentional effects of this magnitude.
