#135 - Daniel Prince Host Of The Once BITen Podcast Discusses The Flaws Of The Current Financial System And Where Bitcoin Fits In

System Flaws

The traditional education system is critiqued for its role in indoctrinating rather than educating students. Ahmad Malik and Daniel Prince discuss how the system is designed to control individuals from a young age, with extended school hours and early enrollment ages being tools of control 1. Ahmad shares his personal struggle with homeschooling due to financial constraints, highlighting how the system is set up to break down family structures 2.

The money's just the cherry on top. But you cannot control the money if you can't control the people.

--- Daniel Prince

Daniel emphasizes that controlling education is a means to control society, suggesting that the system's flaws are intentional rather than accidental.

   

Historical Control

The historical setup of education systems reveals their role in societal control. Ahmad and Daniel explore how the Prussian model aimed to create obedient citizens who would not question authority, a concept that influenced educational systems worldwide 3. They discuss the General Education Board, funded by the Rockefellers, which was established to support higher education but also to mold society according to specific ideals 4.

It was never about, like, actually educating people. It was about forming a group that would be compliant and obedient and easy to control.

--- Daniel Prince

This historical perspective suggests that education has long been used as a tool for control, rather than purely for enlightenment.
