Wow, this will open your eyes to our public education system in the US and what they are up to.

The Prussian education system (not a Wikipedia link), still used to this day in most countries worldwide, originated in the early 18th century as a way to instill absolute obedience and uniformity in the students under the guise of education. What the students wanted and thought was irrelevant—the Prussian education system was there to teach them minimal literacy and indoctrinate them into believing in the infallibility of the supreme authority (Prussian King Fredrick William I at the time). The end result was a useful generic worker, readily replaceable and dispensable.

Teachers acted as surrogate parents that had no mercy for the child and punished all mistakes ruthlessly for the purposes of destroying trust and instilling fear. The curriculum consisted of rote reading, writing, and memorization assignments that were meant to destroy the creativity and spontaneity.

The grades themselves also weren’t used to measure the child’s knowledge, but rather the level of its obedience—the worst grade implied the child was rebellious and refused to follow given methods rather than that it was stupid or inattentive.

Means of conditioning:

The highly structured layout of the classroom meant pupils were disconnected from one another and easily monitored, which again emphasized the atmosphere of distrust. Even the school bell, used to mark the end and the beginning of each period, can be easily recognized as a conditioning method, later described as such by Pavlov in the late 19th century.

Everything is absolutely dedicated to turning a person into a robot: homework, dress codes, school uniforms and so on. Perhaps the most accurate description of the kind of retardation this education produces is in Kafka’s “The Trial.”

This same system was eventually transplanted into the US in 1843 and became the basis of its education system today. There were some minor changes—instead of the King, the students were taught to obey the State, but everything else is left the same. As an added bonus, there is a solid layer of SJW indoctrination that formed on top of that system in the last 150 years, to ensure children are not only intellectually but sexually crippled as well.

Perhaps the only exception to this is STEM due to its male dominance and reliance on hard facts, but of course, SJWs wouldn’t be SJWs if they didn’t want gender equality in computer sciences.

The tragedy of the Prussian education system is that it continues to churn out uniform, creatively stunted workers that are ideal for an 18th century Prussian labor market which no longer exists. A nation’s economy relies on having a steady supply of creative people who take risks, which means we must take chances, try silly things, and generally not be afraid of failing to thrive, both personally and as a species. Otherwise, we’re all going to be royally screwed.

I grew up in the Prussian system and that stifled children. Structure is good and so is respect but the Prussian system churned out people who didn't know real history, God and the Bible and basically slightly educated people fit for their master's (the illuminated ones) society.

There is a history to the elite trying to find the right amount of education so the masses would be intelligent enough to work in their factories and yet dumb enough to think they are happy.

I just stumbled upon this today and it solidified things I thought were wrong when I was going through the system. Needs more digging.

Have seen both. Math and science teachers preferred the Prussian system because they were the ones with the knowledge and we listened. Language teachers preferred big rounds because every interaction was also practicing. Social studies teachers preferred big rounds because they were Communists.

The first one that gets to the child gets to program it. Humans aren't as special as they think they are. Manipulating mass psychology has been in practice since the ancient Roman generals and politicians began experimenting with how to gas light the mobs into fulfilling their will.

Allowing people to be "free" is simply not an option for a society that places importance on your ability to influence people. Most people are too stupid to be influenced by logic and reason and for those that are smart enough, there is simply too mich fake information out there for a reasonable person to be able to filter on their own.

Say what you want about "obedience" and the like, but there aren't really any people that will ever admit that they are being obedient "on purpose." However, I still get up and go to work every day even though I don't enjoy it because my obedience has been drawn out of me by economic slavery. If people were only honest with themselves about their current condition they would realize just how dumb we all are but most people can't admit that they're being suckered into a sub-par existence to the benefit of an unseen master already because that would be too damaging to their ego.
