It might be a blessing that Neil Postman is not around to see present day social media and people getting knowledge from half sentences long memes and 15-seconds videos on random topics from strangers!

Neil Postman, clear and succinct as ever, teaches us what it is to be taught until we fully understand.

In other terms, without an idealized man of which to reach toward, men lose faith in themselves, women lose faith in men, and children lose faith in women. So the "ubermensch", whether believed real or not, is a valuable societal concept.

Here is the key to harmony in the world - education to learn the use of the Word with impeccable distinction. Bravo!

I'm not sure, but I think Postman was getting pretty frustrated about technology by this time.. he winced when often asked, "do you mean we need religion again?" Religion is not the answer. Just love.

But poly-theists/Hindus (Indians), animists (Japanese), and atheists (Chinese) are indeed good at their books.

The end of education is learning the truth of God, and the knowledge of Him, who alone can give meaning, purpose, and value of life.

This is why science and math education in America is pure garbage. No context. It's not just doing problem after problem, it's about the story of why math and science were created, their roles in society, and which if the two serves the other. You'll not learn that with current curriculums....
