Four Pillars for a Better Future: Knowledge, Consciousness, Innovation, Local Action \u2013 Part 3<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/header>\n
\n

There\u2019s a reason education\u00a0sucks,\u00a0and it\u2019s the same reason it will never ever ever be fixed. It\u2019s never going to get any better. Don\u2019t look for it. Be happy with what you\u2019ve got\u2026 because the owners of this country don\u2019t want that. I\u2019m talking about the real owners now\u2026 the real owners. The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.\u00a0You don\u2019t. You have no choice. You have\u00a0owners.\u00a0They\u00a0own\u00a0you.\u00a0They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They\u2019ve long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls. They got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying. Lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else, but I\u2019ll tell you what they don\u2019t want. They don\u2019t want a population of citizens capable of\u00a0critical thinking. They don\u2019t want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They\u2019re not interested in that. That doesn\u2019t help them. That\u2019s against their interests.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Part 2 of this series dived into the importance of technology and innovation to the evolution of the human species. Indeed, innovation is one of the most important pieces to the puzzle, with the caveat that such advancements must be rooted in higher consciousness.<\/p>\n
