The real 7 lessons of schooling (suspiriadeprofundis.net)

For the uninitiated, the term "Cathedral" used by the author, is an alt-right term referring to the network left-learning, establishment institutions. The Cathedral comprises almost all universities, public schools, NGO's, the UN, think tanks and advocacy organizations like the Center for American Progress or Brookings, non-military arms of the American government such as the State Department, and "responsible" newspapers like the NYTimes or Washington Post.

I found point number 3 in the essay especially striking. I had never really thought about the inherent contradiction and crossed signals between a teacher arousing excitement in students during class, and then always quitting a lesson at a certain defined time. I wonder how much student indifference over the years builds up due to this contradiction.
