| I'll educate them myself. I'm currently looking to design a lesson plan built around songs with lyrics encoding the lessons. I'd also like to design the interior of my home to help them develop intuive visualizations of concepts. Not enrolling them means educating them about how humanity: • goes through cultural phases, sometimes cyclically • is currently in a transitional phase between creating legal systems that don't recognize the freedom to choose any strategy to meet a fundamental need for life (eg. the freedom from money) and creating legal systems that do. • changes through culture, so what we do with our lives can be considered a voting system • is going from a point in time where programming ourselves on the individual level is done intuitively without explicitly defining the mathematics of doing so to a point where we can use category theory of the brain & mind to explicitly define models we're using to program ourselves • is going through a period where we don't see how we can cooperate without laws to a period where we can start defining culture-driven, decentralized ways of life • periods are identifies by the messages within their culture and the actions those messages lead to and stem from • old periods use shame, blame, criticism, judgment, anger, scarcity, control, and other forms of denying needs in their actions/messages • can make up and choose whatever messages to believe, on an individual and collective level • can learn through our example • can learn to accept that helping someone materially can be repaid emotionally/physically/mentally/spiritually/socially, so material possessions aren't necessary • is comprised of individuals who experience a world they're modeling based on what they sense and perceive, so anytime they say anything, it's to a person in their head and not the real person, so nothing is personal The primary focus will be on self-programming skills and studying how human needs naturally emerge from a basic definition of life (http://bigthink.com/ideafeed/mit-physicist-proposes-new-mean...). I'm packaging all this as a religion of absurdity devoted to helping the world through hacking the self. It's a choose-your-own-religion religion. The reason for making it into a religion is because that's what happens when we radically decentralize: everyone governs themselves how they like, including what beliefs they choose and laws that follow. I'm be curious to see how it stands up against current religious legal theory in the US, as well as around the world. If I teach my kids this stuff and we talk about the needs they're meeting or trying to meet through their actions, we can diagram it all out and reason about things in a clearer way. Or at least that's the hypothesis I'm testing through experimenting on my kids in this way. |
(note: if you have a trust fund set up or something, then I guess it balances out. Just get ready for them to rebel in their teens by becoming neoliberals and putting up posters of Henry Kissinger on their walls.)
