In this video, we dive deep into the radical and thought-provoking ideas of Ivan Illich, author of the seminal work "Deschooling Society." We explore his critique of institutionalized education, revealing the "hidden curriculum" that teaches conformity, dependency, and the commodification of knowledge. Illich challenges the myth of institutional efficiency, arguing that schools often hinder genuine learning and create a reliance on "disabling professions." We'll uncover his vision for "learning webs" and "convivial tools," offering a path towards a more empowered, self-directed, and truly educated society. Are we truly learning, or are we simply accumulating credentials? Join us as we question the foundations of our education system and explore a revolutionary alternative. This is a must-watch for anyone interested in education, learning theory, social critique, and personal empowerment. We Will discuss important topics such as self-improvement, motivation, self-awareness, success and how the educational systems may have affected those areas of your life. #philosophy #motivation #life #selfimprovement #selfawareness #growth #freedom #democracy #money #wealth #education #learning #school #deschooling #illich #knowledge #power #society #system #criticalthinking #radical #change #empowerment #community #technology #future #alternatives #thinking #awareness #independence
