"The Prussian education system refers to the system of education established in Prussia as a result of educational reforms in the late 18th and early 19th century, which has had widespread influence since. The Prussian education system was introduced as a basic concept in the late 18th century and was significantly enhanced after Prussia's defeat in the early stages of the Napoleonic Wars. The Prussian educational reforms inspired similar changes in other countries, and remain an important consideration in accounting for modern nation-building projects and their consequences.[1]"
After checking some books which were recommended to me on this topic, I have learned that education system is almost completely based on obedience.
In school, you follow daily commands: stand up, sit down, talk, be quiet, write, stop writing, you can go, you cant go, do that, dont do that...
This system seems to be based almost entirely on teaching people from early age to obey authority and not question any commands.
Person who goes through decade of such education can only feel less worthy, because person is taught that opinion of someone else is more important than own opinion.
In school, person competes for approval, and gets punished if he/she refuses to compete for approval.
Person is also taught to repeat opinions which are given to him/her, and even punished if his/her opinion is different from expected.
This system, which is designed to create a retarded obedient population, has succeeded in its intention. The population is retarded and obedient.
The few people who arent obedient are minority who is simply mentally too strong to be indoctrinated.
However, full obedience is never trully possible, and this education system faces a fatal flaw.
Apparently, making population retarded and obedient has 3 very undesirable effects:
1. Population is easier to control, but its also easier for your political opponents to control population. Making population easy to control makes it easier for anyone to control population. Thus, any bad person who gets in power thanks to this education system can easily control population who wont rebel much against him. The main point of obedience isnt simply for population to be "following commands", but the main point is making sure people dont rebel, to make them tolerate anything government does. This means people are less likely to rebel no matter who gets in power.
2. The second undesirable effect is that making people retarded and less likely to rebel has economical and social consequences. The workers are less likely to fight for their rights, people and children are more likely to tolerate violations of their rights. This creates a system where everyone endures more suffering because no one rebels much against suffering. This harms both economy and mental health of people, which causes a mass chain effect where people do drugs, alcohol to reduce own pain, and tolerating mass abuse and reducing intelligence produces more criminals and makes people less capable of dealing properly with life situations.
3. The 3rd effect is based on harmful closed circle. The retarded and obedient people enable worse government to get in power. The worse government makes people even more retarded, which enables even worse governments and worse decisions which make people even more retarded.
This circle, once started, cannot be stopped in any way unless few smart people impose their own system to restore people's intelligence.
Most governments are short sighted. Government did think that making people obedient and retarded will benefit the government, but it failed to see that such system will benefit all governments, and that such system will benefit bad governments much more because people rebel against bad governments much more, and making people much less likely to rebel benefits those governments people would rebel against if this system wasnt in place.
These 3 undesirable effects create a circle where bad decisions reduce reasoning ability, and reduction in reasoning ability causes more bad decisions, which further reduce reasoning ability, which again increase number of bad decisions.
The only ones who can fix this system are the ones who are not affected by it much. So only smart people who understand that system is failing and who know how to fix the system are the ones who can solve an otherwise unsolvable disaster.
