Use the Future of Education Now!

Send us a text

If you read about the projected future of education it seems like we will have finally created the ideal learning environment sometime within the next 100 years. An education that focuses on the individual and how they learn. One that uses their strengths to cultivate all their abilities. A system that will make learning a joy.
It sounds ideal. But I am not holding my breathe. My experience with the our education system shows a system more interested in conditioning rather than educating. I don't know why this would change. I don't know why it already hasn't. So I propose we simply make this learning environment for ourselves right now.
I did it and you can do it too. It is not that hard. Technology makes it very easy. The information on how to do this is freely available. If you are a gifted neurodivergent or parent of one you have the ideal candidate for a successful outcome for this effort.
We have so many things working against us in the current education system. They have labeled us in recognition that we learn differently. Yet they refuse to change to accommodate those differences. Their labels have meanings and they are not kind or constructive. They hurt rather than help. We are labeled as disabled. It's the same as saying we are broken or defective, when the opposite is true. We are the spatially gifted. We have more to offer not less. Why put yourself or your children through that. This is your chance to learn how to change that.
I made an error when I mentioned the CEO of Ford's UAW interview. She is actually the CEO of GM. Here is the video.

2 Types of Intuition - One Leads to Genius. The Other Oppression.

Send us a text

Did you know there are 2 types of intuition?

I first discovered this when I read the book Thinking Fast and Slow. A book I promptly chucked across the room because it violated all of my sensibilities. But it also kept me trying to understand why my intuition worked so well now and didn't work so well when I was a kid. I figured it out and now you can too.

I reference the following in my podcast:
