it seriously; in her world, education starts at infancy. When shes just three months old,
shes going to begin learning a new language.
At this stage in her development, her young brain is more capable of internalizing
a language than ever in her life, so it stands to reason that linguistic education would start
at such a fertile stage.
A world that takes education seriously would recognize that education is the foundation
of freedom, liberty, and true civilization;
Empowered by superior education, rather than superior militarily force, a
civilized world applies knowledge, scientifically derived, in order to improve standards
of life, liberty, and happiness.
Grounding their resources in the roots of education, and their economy in the fruits
of education, a school system becomes a center for local production and consumption,
full circle, replacing the mall and all it stands for; those employed by the education
system are rewarded like doctors and athletes of today, thus increasing the incentive to be
a part of the system.
At infancy, Tracys teacher is none other than Susanna, a Spanish-speaking
grandmother with minimal education, and virtually no education experience. She has no
degree from any college, yet she is able to perform a valid role in the school system and
get satisfaction from serving her community because she fits two simple requirements:
she has no criminal background, and her primary language is not English.
Susanna will cradle little Tracy in her arms for an hour, speaking to her for the
entire duration, and then, when Susanna sees the hour is up, she will place little Tracy on
the floor or in her crib, and begin cradling another infant.
At infancy, it truly should be the standard that a child hears and listens to another
language from not only one person, but a family of foreign speakers; something as simple
as housing foreign speaking families, perhaps families in need, and reapplying those
forces towards educating infants will reorganize an economic structure; improving lives
and even paying them additionally for cultivating an organic farm located on the premises
of the school.
However, practical subjects like plumbing and architecture are integral to her
independence as an adult; and her final subjectdrivingwill be a way to keep students
interested in continuing education, because they will not be able to graduate without first
receiving their drivers license.
However, just because she has graduated from young adulthood, does not mean
Tracy has finished learning, and indeed the final stage of education is adulthood, and in
that stage she is able to explore the interior world of her own self; different from college,
adult education is absolutely free for all adults, and oriented towards the free discourse of
community and society.
The world I have just described is not a science fiction concept, or a utopia;
rather, like the smart phone was just beyond the horizon of our imagination not too long
ago, it is a new technology. More importantly however, without innovation to the
infrastructure, we are stagnant, dead in the tides of time; it is natural law that we must
transcend and abolish the failed systems or be carried under by them. Stand up and
reclaim your innate sovereignty; stand and the table where our lives are bought and sold,
where Tracys life will be bought and sold, will fall as a house of cards...
The divine urge towards civilization, peace on earth, paradise, and heaven in the here and
now; it all is possible, and we can claim it, all we need do is stand up, enlightening to a
world without debt, without taxes, without the death of stagnancy and complacency.
