In today's world, people have begun to confuse education with learning, and there is a difference.
Education is what the system teaches you based on what it wants you to know.
Learning is what is done when you go out and seek knowledge yourself.
Yes, it sounds paranoid, but when you consider the fact that in the case of history, the victors write the history. Consider American History for example, when the Native Americans won a battle it was called a massacre, when the US Army won, it was called a victory.
Lately, the whole westward expansion and Indian wars part of American History is barely touched in high school.
Dont Educate yourself, but learn for yourself the truth. Unfortunately, if the government keeps going the way it is, the truth will become forever lost.
