>>When I talk about education, I am talking about the entire human species. Koan, you are clearly well-intentioned and mean well. The repetitious insistence on "education" lacks nuance and connection to the reality the rest of us live in. Christian universities? Religious studies? Ashrams? These are all "education". You never mention a curriculum but I suspect what you have in mind is something Judeo-Christain Western-centric - you might not want people learning some skills. Betsy De Vos and Ben Carson? Dick Cheney? These people were "educated" in some sense. Education makes these people better and more open to egalitarian or progressive new ideas? Not in my experience. Getting a BS, MS, or PhD in some science like aviation or chemistry doesn't make you a nice person, though it doesn't necessarily preclude it - and yet one may still go on to bomb or gas people - if not personally, through the natural deployment of one's work.
