Did we only succeed in teaching children to become idiots

Did we only succeed in teaching children to become idiots when we thought we could *teach* innocence?

Who thought it was a bright idea to tell white lies and fabricated moral tales of a cuckoo-cloud-fairy-world where everything comes to justice in time, and that equates education of history.

we removed every brutal and senseless happenings, and taught them history is like the change of seasons in a farm field. (always expected and highly anticipated).

and played on tv only things that are nice to daydream for a farmer's unspoilt son.

And they lost imagination for what evils or unthought of happenings that might exist in the world, that they failed to worry for their futures and made stupid decisions, or just thought life could get better like ryes ripening in the field over time. and they create make-better and feel-better trash and call it art.

is not that exactly the medieval peasant's innocence we have created? the kind of innocence for the naive son to take over farming and keep the field productive? obedience to land, culture and Zeitgeist.

And when those values was challenged, arose Sardonicism, Schdenfreude, disregard for customs and ideas foreign to them, death threats over SNS and information terrorism (Doxing etc.) on SNS, mobbing ,

along with all other kinds of shallow bursts and releases of emotions that are so very canine in nature.

have we not succeeded in creating those joyless and daydreaming pet hounds instead of truly educated children, and from them adults of same character, though they were supposed to be at least *as good* as us or *even better*?

What gave us the delusion that educators are the ones who truly know the good for those who receive education?

That they are the masters of the souls who lack education---that they steer them like those fifty-year-old tycoons of deathless silver wisdom in a platonic republic?

That education is to achieve *exactly* what educator *hopes* the younger generation to be:

upholders of eternally changeless Idea that once received,

the dull mill of humanity's glory will repeat itself forever in posterity. and no mistake or loss can be foreseen to happen. that with obedience to civic morals and eagerness for industries, the fire of humanity will never extinguish?

above all, when did we start to think it was accept to *deceive* them, and *embellish* ugly things?

did we really think so naively, having been told falsehoods, they still would be able to arrive at truth on their own one day, maybe through the clown games of Socrates kind?

That they will ask the questions themselves until they arrive at truth like lovers of knowledge?

And this process of finding faults inside a web of deception is what is called "education"?

And when they arrived at truth on their own, this already granted them intimate knowledge of all the failures, all the ugliness that became of the world----so they could triumph them like in those deathless Platonic dialogues?

Have we considered the possibility the deception in the future world would have already become the overruling truth, and the rest of the truths would be forgotten, and no one would be able to even doubt that there are more possibilities in the world? that there is rather inability to overcome those illnesses and disgrace. and at the end the educated dogs learned only submission to an easy lot in life? or simply whine about it like it is in Hollywood movies or popular medias? that we have inculcated such laziness and fear of success instead----by telling them the quest of finding knowledge, cultivating virtue and strength, is simply never-ending...

that a horrible fairy land we created for them, where there is the eternal nightmare upon their conscience for their deficiency from being a hero or reaching for something eternal. that they must wait in doglike obedience. and only when they have already obtained glories, fames or goodness in life they are able to declare their happiness?

And how is that kind of waiting for happiness, and fear of knowledge, quest and unthought of things, so different from the elder son of a medieval peasant? what else did we make out of the education mills and expensive tuitions? that we play the eternal clown games of Socrates and make education a termless dialogue---so the students are always unknowing and stupid, and have to fumble for words for a morally and intellectually superior know-it-all before them? so whatever answer they have, except the "good answers" are pointless? so if they are uninterested in dialogue or refuse to answer, they are incorrigible criminals or barbarians?

the conscience to know exactly what the teachers want them to know, and nothing else. and in fact admitting they always know nothing at all. this is what we thought as *innocence* and tried to churn them out of the mills. and we have created a world of dancing and laughing idiots. and of course, they are obviously innocent.
