It's time to intellectually grow-up

I enjoyed this article. Perhaps because I agree! There are many quotes I could pull, but I liked this:

"true education is the opposite of what many think it is. For many, becoming educated means knowing things and feeling assured that there are no important questions left in the fields you have studied and that you have now become more capable and powerful than those without an education."

I would even push a little bit further... Where the author says:

"Aside from math/formal systems, the only way we truly know anything is by honest conversations between people of drastically different experiences and worldviews."

Well, what is maths? 1 + 1 = 2, right? While that is fine conceptually, what is the real world application? What things are 'ones' that can be counted as if they were the same? Is there anything that is the same as another thing? I don't think so. Which is to say, that maths is a model too - a useful one - but it does not describe an underlying reality, only the fabricated one we create for ourselves!

PS I loved the liberation image!
