đź’Ż. Question everything. Be insanely curious. I grew up in a schooling system that used punished us for asking questions, having opinions. All those running around the field and washing toilets for asking questions lol!
“Obedience” is the core fundamental of religion and autocratic government masked as culture because it’s easier to build followers blindly. It's easy to scare people into obedience by punishing them.
Obedience is the downfall of companies when employees rather be told what to do, or stuck in a process, than to think out of the box.
Obedience is the downfall of startup ecosystems globally when entrepreneurs are subjected to (corrupted) funders demands.
Obedience is the downfall of society when they start believing everything influencers say as the gospel truth.
Fortunately my nephews are raised to have thoughts and opinions. And teaching them has been way harder than teaching university students or training employees despite their young age because they question everything, with many ideas to be explored, and I absolutely love it! And you don't need to drill obedience into them. They are respectful and kind.
I am however struggling to explain why fusion energy does not work yet for Ironman’s arc reactor lol. But we got all the elements of Captain America's magnetic shield right. And rebuilding a Spidermen hand web mechanical thingy. And they are teaching me abt Starwars because I don't know what that lego ship is abt! We've got a smart car and a drone to build next with arduino!
If you need some hope back in society, and away from all the gloom and doom, teach kids, raise curious kids. As Picasso once said - “it took me 4 years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child”. And at another time he said - “every children is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist when we grow up”.
Curiosity withers over time from societal suppression. And without curiosity, everything is gloomy. Neuroplasticity becomes pointless. People stop questioning because they don't know what to question. Ignorance becomes bliss.
