How Might we Reimagine Education for Wisdom Development? Schmachtenberger, Vervaeke & McGilchrist

This clip is excerpted from a longer conversation between Iain McGilchrist, John Vervaeke and Daniel Schmachtenberger, recorded at Merton College, Oxford, in September 2023. With no planned objective or agenda, the discussion sought to outline the cognitive and spiritual components of the metacrisis. The metacrisis is the total ecosystem of all global crises and the common underlying dynamics that generate catastrophic and existential risks.

Wow, Vervaeke really makes the essential point by 3rd minute mark, and Iain picks up the thread. We have to prepare the ground first by raising the level of consciousness of enough people in order for transformation. This is exactly why inner Spiritual work is necessary. Gurdjieff, the 20th century Spiritual master did extraordinary work to make this accessible within an otherwise ordinary secular life.

This Rand Corp. thing you talk about should be done for everyone.

Children must learn detachment and to preserve their innocence, that spark from which all creative endeavours manifests. They must be taught not in comparison with the old way (the current way) but in a new way, in which may lead.

What you’re talking about is Charlotte Mason’s Philosophy of Education. It’s exploding in the homeschool world. Education is the “science of relations.” Moms are too busy to implement this into the culture and public. We are doing it in our homes. Please read her volumes and do this work for us. We NEED Charlotte’s voice inserted in the western thought canon. Please put your minds to work on what she’s already said.

Maybe we should stop using the ideology of competition in the education system. Have you ever wondered? Its not that hard.

[@gmk2222]

Competition is not an ideology, it is innate in that of survival. Much deeper. Go compete.

[@jorgefachada6401]

@@gmk2222 you need to rethink your reality. Both competition and cooperation are. Darwin was wrong, or whatever interpretation people got from his work. Think in terms of the laws of the universe, an act of competition is intrinsically bad. It's usage is always in a ultimate stage, where no other information provides any other action other than competition. Most species don't even have the biological ability to gather that information, that's why most compete.

All this talk of "institutions" my foot! The vocabulary of our civilization is "family" and "class", try and bring those ideas back and then call yourselves wise and brave.

Yes, institutions will fall to What Is.
