I ought to have I'm there's a story that perhaps not everyone has familiar with
which is
when I was in New York I'm couple of years ago I was asked to visit to school
in
Long Island I'm I was particularly attached to go there
a private helicopter was sent to take me
nice *** to address the border and the teachers at the school
when I asked them what they'd like me to speak about
they said they wanted to speak speak about the rectified show great principle
from which their entire curriculum was based say
when I said what is the rectify children
the from they said that that was the very question they were asking
cause I would explain
I N R's who had
invented the rectified showed great principle on which the curriculum is
based in Lake
soon revealed that the authorities Prince or at least the author of the
documents on which the entire curriculum based
was Ralph a person
looked by careful questioning I was able to find out that the rectified showed
great principle meant that because I've more pic resonance
and habits have Manning yet the sequence of events
in which people should learn things in school should prolly the historical
process
say in history you learn fast about
the pursue Marion's egyptians et cetera
then you move on to the ancient Greeks the Romans the dark ages et cetera that
it probably is
the principal a and they stopped in grade 1
with ancient Egypt I calculated on this basis that the
I intention of the domestication fry
which occurred between 400 to 700 thousand years ago should mean
that in the problem play group they should be
playing with fired
time I pointed this out but
it didn't that wasn't part of the curriculum I'm suggesting
I discovered that there was in fact an entire process in educational reform
afoot in this country behind which is guiding geniuses
around favorite spectator I think we should ask you this question route since
you've more experienced and most diverse
oh and rather that people with less experience
speak about it good because of my experience has been
very disappointing harm no ca
well here is the the problem is I
Christine maybe you can help me get through this one
the 0 their children are
innocent and trusting and we'll try and curricular requirements for what they're
all
try anything which they have down a difference crawls around the world with
with greater fat
there is only a couple days ago I was at the ER
the in tall farm may call it
in Oregon where 10,000 people work arm
realizing Terence's dream and here
but making psychedelic drugs and held
call it different during power
say you know what I me shift
not here it
car casually over lunch I revealed
my a revolutionary program for the school's
through a software engineer who was sitting there he said oh well
this his historical curriculum to dive in Armenia and I'm
I mean I want no Algeria said right from Algeria
and my school was exactly what year it was wonderful
so he the there are places in the world were even my
experiment has been tried the problem is that the the children look at the owners
are the school
people were everything is fine the problem
have with the teachers and parents the teachers have been trained
that's one problem half-inch
and the parents have been frightened
I guess so the parents absolutely refuse any experiments that would affect their
children because the danger for failure
she that they the consider the current system which is guaranteed to fail
is somehow safer than an experimental system that might fail
him to carry itself shortening died well
I'm just analyzing I don't really know what goes through their mind but what I
have discovered
is that group love parents come in and physically attack
the teachers the administrators or
to guarantee me that the time-worn
I'm failure approved system
does his is performed as it always has been
you see the problem
older people think that's why parents
has recommended mushrooms this work
Rupert has suggested psychopathic see how revolutionary it's like a pet
we're talking about the parents here after they is prove to them
that what they already know it's true by somebody in the authority of the
scientific establishment
than the truth will become true for them for the first time
due to the fact that they trust authority more than they trust their own
experience
from so I
I haven't given up yet
from with the educational system but I'm I'm still seeking some
little way around this so very
deeply ingrained habit and those aren't the problem is says the stakes rise
the claim shell on the par-3 geriatric establishment
becomes even more intensified
so for example right now a
the worldwide epidemic youth
bashing is the mall counterproductive
thing we could possibly generate now
all hair who are going to have to stay in
the situation why not admit
the obsolescence and bankruptcy of the old models
and take our foot of the neck
you and honor a
yeah an interest in psychedelic experimentalism ***
redefining paroles a new look at how we relate to
work new look at how we relate
community instead of marginalizing youth culture and
defining it as a phase misguided night he
Hulu we should say the site the on corrupted
people in society who have not yep felt
the hammer of the programming and big deal
and the Creoles I'll economic necessity
and try to build operate and outward from youth culture
grassy them a suppressing for this reason I will be appearing at a rave
tonight that starts after my fed
Cup here
he over I wish I could and
be persuaded by or persuasive rhetoric
I'm I'm my experiences youth cultures
here people who from the agent to have been watching
hours a day television I'm shaped by commercials coming in designing
to introduced toddlers to the consumer society
whose music is dominated by music industry run by cynical
interests manipulative people public relations operations and large
corporations
say to see this is uncontaminated pure
the spirited tomorrow and try to earn tarnished by the vices
today seems to me to beg a number of questions
her gonna have some beer at the rave tonight to terrorists and there are
going to see this
paradise that's unfolding Co
your point about television yes well taken I totally agree I think this is
the most
crane makeshift programming and propaganda device
around this about to be strangled by the World Wide Web
well and you know you can't just turn off your TV and I don't
I say that someone did I raise my children without television because
rather than just giving lip service to the idea that it's still pretty
we actually acted on the perception the S&P we do tonight but your other point
about that you cultures music being
have in the hamster capitalists and record companies
is slightly out of touch with what's actually happening
for five hundred dollars you can buy a CBR
burner and pans do this and most
youth culture music is now put out in addition serve under
1000 press things can really the corporate middleman have all
been gonna round and big record corporations
are not at all in touch with real tastes
an real creativity in the music business babe recycle
garbage that they support with massive public relations programs
at the same time that real creativity
is alive and well and thriving contract Alliance microscale that goes
right around the desires mass consumer it
sorry to interrupt
weird I don't
I just a it would be good if they could be an experiment carried out perhaps
with you
as a cheerleader for this at
used car trip tomorrow actually to be able to be
Commission's role is suppressed in time to see what happens
in my i mean there are quite a number of experiments in this I would
so going on spontaneously it's not as if all these
people involved in this culture tightly controlled by parents teachers except
for many of them are not under
direct control in this way toll and
say bed you still going to have to have educational systems
school systems have one kind or another
and is not clear to me that no
more rapes and psychedelics again automatically to generate that
well i would offer as an example I think the place on the planet where youth
culture is most in control
social agenda in other words where
youths preference for psychedelic drugs is honored
where you music is on Ingram Micro economic systems built by
youth are on our is a from the Netherlands
Holland lowest aids infection rate in europe
low list harrowing addiction rate
in Europe caroline is legal prostitution
is legal there are actually very large-scale social experiments going on
that embody the values of youth culture and they're producing saner
less stressful more like affirming and human societies than anything going on
inside the high-tech industrial democracies that are either
is that set the global agenda thinking well
I often visit Holland and I must say I hadn't quite made to such a striking
distance difference between
them in the restive western wear well but that's really because you come from
London
where also yes start happening if you lived in
Birmingham or Rio de Janeiro or
Houston I'm the contrast with the Netherlands is quite
star room
didn't mean to stop the show Ford
a row cannot say I am NOT
okay mind guilty them
have too much self-indulgence no
you past important problems yes
sharing a on the actual millennium great steps or small steps are needed
magnified through butterfly effect the exhaust me intense what you think they
should be
yes your toes feel disappointed by your own experiments with the reform with the
educational system
yes to what next well
record
well as as I say I i think that we're
at the Europe a millennium were at
turning point what may be coming down the pike
or could be two or three Merkel's that were all decided to change the
definition of the problem
and in the meanwhile I think that we're more or less stark in the situation
where we keep crying work for
doing and I'll believing that it has at least some chance of having
having an affect I think that the
or the educational system might change itself but Americal
for example and could do that in a way that had nothing whatsoever to do with
any of our effort or in fact it may be that some little thing
that we did matter I I think that your work in the revolution of Sciences
very important and very promising and
at so proceeded with essentially without
funding because the the genius of a program that you
involved is that how does this enormous
leverage him that every or crossing over the road you take me the great
choice to get more leverage them though
a Terrance I think that your your program also is
is a good morning if over the years change in the direction of younger
people and that you them and I'll you know change your
approached who maximize them I don't
seen me the cage that there's been enormous backlash working
against you the so
other revolutionary movements have been stopped by a backlash and although you
don't have funding
York trial for group or
calling you are
