Unsentimental Sentiment

Worldwide Religion

Which Religion has been adopted by the entire World?

Yeah, you guessed it. Education. Everybody in just about every culture buys into the myth of educational salvation, which pretends that the only thing standing between you and the desires in your heart is education.

In 1900 we had 500,000 people total enrolled in institutions of higher learning; today the figure is 100 million people, desperately trying to get ahead. In finances, in knowledge, in skills.

With one out of every four college age kids currently enrolled in a post-secondary institution, the demand is strong and growing. But there is no way enough schools will be built to satisfy this demand. Where will these eager young people turn?

Perhaps knowledge isn’t something that can be handed to you. Maybe you need to find out the important things of life by yourself. Drop the advisors. Forget the appearances. Make something happen. Don’t look to education as some sort of solution. You already know too much. It is time to stop adding and start subtracting. Build everything on a solid basis. You can trust no teachers of any kind to give you a solid base. This is your responsibility alone.

And, if you must distrust your own learning abilities…
On money, only listen to a millionaire.
On aesthetics, only listen to a beautiful person.
On business and economics and human relations of any kind, only listen to a problem solver.
