The Most Important Thing You

If You Want To Change Society Then You Must Tell An Alternative Story.

In Schools, Including Universities, Most Resources Are Spent To Purchase The Time And Motivation Of A Limited Number Of People To Take Up Predetermined Problems In A Ritually Defined Setting. The Most Radical Alternative To School Would Be A Network Or Service Which Gave Each Man The Same Opportunity To Share His Current Concern With Others Motivated By The Same Concern.

The Pupil's Imagination Is 'schooled' To Accept Service In Place Of Value. Medical Treatment Is Mistaken For Health Care, Social Work For The Improvement Of Community Life, Police Protection For Safety, Military Poise For National Security, The Rat Race For Productive Work.

The More Time, Toil, And Sacrifice Spent By A Population In Producing Medicine As A Commodity, The Larger Will Be The By-product, Namely, The Fallacy That Society Has A Supply Of Health Locked Away Which Can Be Mined And Marketed.

Societies In Which Most People Depend For Most Of Their Goods And Services On The Personal Whim, Kindness, Or Skill Of Another Are Called Underdeveloped, While Those In Which Living Has Been Transformed Into A Process Of Ordering From An All-encompassing Store Catalogue Are Called Advanced.
