Due to the serious disease that afflicts humanity since the death of Greek philosophy, I am forced to give a brief contribution on possible cures for the cannibalization to which you are submitting. To be honest, I wish those words were something more than a metaphor, although I wouldn't be wrong.
I have a somewhat strange vision of humanity, a mental image worthy of H. P. Lovecraft's tales, something that each one can imagine in a different and equally valid way. If we look at human behavior in any kind of society, we see a strong tendency towards the status quo, a rejection of the new things infected like a pandemic among the members of that group. Many of you will think about the great social advances of humanity, the status quo is still there, it has only changed the rules in order to survive. Let's take the example of the rights of black people, I am completely in favor of universal equality (when I mention equality I am commenting on a vision of real equality, I prefer a vision of the soul over the shell, it is something that I recommend even if it is difficult to achieve ), what I mean is that respect has become the new normal. Now I introduce the monster that I have promised you to make the metaphor of what you are for me:
The Crowd is a giant hunk of flesh and skin with thousands of faces, arms, and legs; an abomination made up of thousands of souls in the same cage without the ability to move from its place. Everyone has a goal in this life or a desire, but if one of the arms tries to reach the ground to crawl and move, it will not be able to, the other arms will prevent it or it will not have enough strength to move everything. Only when several arms come together with the same mission and withstand the scratches will they be able to move The Crowd a bit, but they are still locked in that room. This is the life of this being, it suffers in silence wanting to do something without accepting that others want something else.
Remember the times that you have tried to educate someone who according to your ideas is wrong, you only release the most basic and repeated existing arguments. You can't do it like that, you've missed an awesome discovery opportunity. You have in front of you a possible Galileo Galilei and you are going to stop a great advance for knowledge, do not say no, say: Tell me your proofs. Once the theory is explained, do not contradict and humiliate, try to make it plausible, if it is not possible you will both reach the same point. The Crowd needs to stop moving for a while to talk and understand each other, thus agreeing to leave the dark room.
Teachers are the rats of this Black Death, I don't want to insult them, they are victims of their world. A teacher has some studies and his/her job is for his/her students to memorize them, I don't even have to say that this method is useless even in its social acceptance. With the obligatory basic school a vector is marked, the rest of the education is to follow the line. I can not say you get out of there being empty, although I don't think I am wrong. There is no good assimilation of content and what has been learned can change over time, these are issues that have aged on the table. What is the best way to gain lasting knowledge? Apart from understanding the content, it is a good idea to write a book of your own contributions to make a final sum of your own ideas with the aim of recording fleeting memories, like a dream journal to learn about yourself.
If I ask you for the perfect educator, I expect a psychologist as an answer, a guide. Are you trying to recover the memories of the World of Ideas? Doing it is not elegant at all, when you dive into your mind others see you as a crazy person, depressed or a weed smoker in a park. Many humans don't want to think too much, what they find in that darkness stresses them out, that's why they will never leave the room. Nobody is going to accept your mission, if you want to touch enlightenment you will have to suffer. You are the only soul in that thing that really wants to get out, you will use a glass shard to cut the piece of meat that belongs to you, you will endure scratches and punches, and you will find freedom. You will regret it, you will feel the cold without the heat that thousands of bodies gave you, you will need to eat for the first time and not be the parasite of your condition. It is not an easy task, as Aristotle said: “He who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god”. Let's add a quote from Confucius: “The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials”. Currently a god usually has good qualities that serve as an example for the members of society and is an example of behavior, being outside of understandable behaviors you are a demon. As the son of evil that you are, they will try to tempt you to return, by evil I do not mean evil, but everything that is misunderstood as bad. As a believing Muslim who goes to Mecca at least once in a lifetime, I highly recommend spending a year in solitary life. You will not return from that trip, rather, the one who will return will not be the same as the one who left. If you are still the same, there are two options: you were already a being of light or you have not been reflecting.
