the whole man

Hey friend, 

I would define the success of education as a fully integrated human being- 

The goal of education should be a whole person. 

The idea “school“ should a space where human beings are invited into excellence in every area of life.

Not just replicating the desired ideals of their corporation funded government.

Not just a version of financial success which is truly just disguised slavery.

Or any success in a very narrowly defined way.

I advocate for vision of the whole person who is proficient in wide range of human endeavours.

Like the ideal of the polymath. The renaissance man. 

From the ability to create wealth in a leveraged way that doesn’t infringe on the values and freedom of the individual. 

To create health & vitality to such a degree that all of their life is an extension of this abundance.

To be so well versed in history, culture, religion. 

To be in the process of creating beautiful inter-dependant relationships based on growth. 

To see the world in its entirety. 

To be in the process of art always. 

To be ready to fight for your life at any given moment. (for the men)

The truth is… the version of education we were presented with in traditional education was so small… so miniscule. So disappointing. 

That most think its a big goal to have a $100k a month business. 

Or to be a world class athlete. 

Or to have mastery in each pillar of life. 

Or to be geographically free

The version of education we were sold was so small.

Most think it’s normal to dedicate their life to someone else’s mission or no mission at all. 

Most are content to have their hobbies but never pursue true mastery. 

Most never get a chance to wake up their inner leader. 

Most are asleep at the wheel in a process of becoming a good slave.

An alternative is being built.
