You keep think I am being slippery when I am just trying to explain something to you-lol.

What I said, and I think clearly, is that education was about getting information.

Just like I tried to explain NATO was capable of happening because of people being Educated better than in the past.

And our constitution was capable of being written, because of education and previous information e.g. the Magna Carta, and writings of people like Plato.

The entire universe is about information. Every animal is constructed and operates from information e.g. DNA and genes.

Education provides information-lol!

Get it :)?

Oh you are slippery koan; now its not education it is "information".

And again your argument is silly as your own argument loops around to contradict what you say. I agree with your completley that we have more information at our fingertips than ever before .........but then you clain - even with all this "information" we are moving backwards because of who was elected.

Some of the most undemocratic and dangerous countries in the world have every bit the "information" we do. How is that working out for them to improve their lives? ........Or even in this country; we have all the "information" we need but now are ignoring the dangers of GW and have a man in control of our science that believes vaccines cause autism. Sure lets bring back polio and small pox so we can cure autism. That is intellectually bankrupt - even with all the "information" at their fingertips.

This man spent his life writing the history of civilization.

Education is the transmission of civilization.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.
