Radio Ep. 10 - Food in Schools & Lessons in Nutrition

modern schools are considered a cornerstone of society necessary for the basic education of children in the important things in life. When one chooses not to participate in this system any longer they are viewed and treated as black sheep who've turned their back on humanity and progress altogether.

This is a misconception and the result of propaganda peddled by the universities and their recruiting departments. One must not forget that schools and universities are businesses that take in huge sums of profit by overcharging for their services.

This can be their students in universities or the local community in public schools. The average expense is over 10,000 per year per student enrolled in any type of schoo, being paid by the citizens.

The subsidization of this system allows it to get away with things that traditional businesses are not able to .

The subject of today's conversation is nutrition, and what do the schools teach us to eat. This show will be retitled are school lunches the best society can provide? And in today's show I discuss some of the things that are wrong with what students are fed in cafeterias and more generally what they are taught is safe and healthy to eat.

Here is a short excerpt from an article on parents.com about the school lunch programs and the many ways they fall short of providing the best in the form of nutrition or nutritional education.

You see the sad part is most of us have simply given too much trust to these institutions instead of relying on our own abilities and interests to drive the learning and growth process in our lives.

By being led to believe trust in the experts is all that is needed for one to prosper , we are left open to all kinds of attacks and more simply mistakes and being taken advantage of by those who are conscious.

For instance, there is a huge notion that schools are responsible for most children learning to read and write and after all we remember spending all that time and all those hours practicing in kindergarten right?

Well it seems these have no true effect and actually learning to read takes place elsewhere. The reason for this is quite simple and if you look at the U.S. Bureau of education's own statistics, they tell you that only 19% of high school graduates don't know how to read, while only 14% of the general population doesn't know how to read. This lets you know that you dace a 5% greater risk of not learning to read or write by graduating high school.

Radio Ep. 9 - Schools Don't teach anything about money

What do schools teach us about money and how much do students and graduates really know about how wealth is created in modern society.  Listen Live Here

Economies were pretty simple back in the day before we discovered agriculture. The economy was simply each person gathering and hunting as a part of a tribe or small commune.

Without agriculture, there was no surplus in resources and most people were preoccupied with feeding themselves and keeping warm or cool and avoiding disease and threats, but almost everyone who was alive was engaged in producing or procuring food.

As agriculture was developed over the years and less and less people had to spend time on food, the economy all of a sudden came into being, because now people had the time and resources to create other sorts of things, like cloths, specialized foods, food products, and different crops. Before we all went out and hunted, and shared it all as a commune, because well, we were poor and If we didn't do things this way dying out was a rel possibility.

As more of us had time to focus on other things besides not starving to death, our communities grew into full fledged economies like we presently have.

What is money? How was money created. People think banks and governments create money, but in reality the money is

Radio Ep. 7 - Does it suck being a dropout?

The main problem most dropouts in today's society have to face is a psychological one. Most dropouts have been conditioned to work against their own interests and resign in the face of unsurmountable obstacles.

Listen To live Broadcast Here 

Most dropouts end up drowniing their sorrows in alcohol and cheap pleasures that are unsustainable.

We have been conditioned to learn that we are not good at learning and therefore will only get low paying jobs if that.

We have been taught that without the required accreditation, there is no success and wealth waiting for us in the real world... that is. Unless we become rappers, athletes and entertainers.

This is why most dropouts who live in poverty spend a lot of their time and the little money they accumulate playing the lottery. The years of classroom learning they endured in school did not equip them to deal with real economic calculations, and they usually get too distracted by the glitter and shine to notice that they are playing a losing game.

All dropouts get lumped into one stereotype, because the conscious and unconscious dropouts get rated and categorized as one.

Here is an article I ran across while doing some research that was quite interesting. One thing you will notice is the level of drive and dedication to be successful that this person had.

I ran into a list of 55 millionaire high school dropouts and I'll go over some of the uncommon ones in a bit because everyone knows the big names.

See the first objection most people raise when you try to provide tips and advice to dropouts is that everyone at least has to attend high school or they are doomed. The problem is that most dropouts have no real support network like the one provided in school. We as a society need to spend more time and energy creating alternative support networks and educational resources geared toward those who do not learn well by applying the traditional schooling techniques.

Please call into the show to let me know what you think, I would love to hear from you here at self education radio with your host prince J avery broadcasting live out of Texas.

So did you know someone who agrees with the message of this show is giving college dropouts $100,000 a piece to drop out of school.

Peter thiel that is. Now here is the ironic thing about it. Imagine, if that sounds so great to you, the average parents who sends their kid to school can do this. Most children who go to school end up getting in debt for over 100k a lot of times. Most of these students will then have to work for some company for years, hoping to make it up to middle management and hopefully the executive level.

For that same amount of money, and similar amounts of time because it takes about 2-3 years for most businesses to take off. That means before the college students are graduating, the dropouts could be already financially established and have the experience to get similar if not better jobs than the graduates because they already have the experience.

Radio Episode 4 - "Please Don't Drop out of school" Review

Welcome to the dropout rebellion now called self education radio. Its time for the wise and educated to speak out in response to the stigma and constant criticism we receive as dropouts.  I hope you enjoyed the previous clip and please call in to the show at --- to share your thoughts on what you just heard.

"You shouldn't drop out of school because its a scary thing to do for most people." Do you think that is true or does it pay off to face your fears and follow your instincts about educating your self.

No one who drops out just thinks I'm gonna drop out, stay home and do nothing from now on and be poor. Most of the dropouts who end up like this are immobilized from certain unseen processes in our economy. What we call opportunity cost in economics, translated to a shortage of opportunities for the oucasts.

Well , If you're one of the people who feel this way, you've come to the right place, because the opportunities abound once you learn to shift your perspective and retrain yourself on how to think.

You see, there are thousands of problems in this world faced by all sorts of people. There are so many problems to be solved that we probably couldn't identify them all. It's also futile to try to identify all problems people face because there are new ones popping up all the time.

What I mean is that things that were acceptable and ok yesterday, become not okay as you learn more and more information. This means that as you encounter more information and as the species in general does the same thing, we are constantly creating new problems and in the information age, more problems are coming into existence than we can solve, and there are no signs of this process slowing down.

What am I talking about and why do I bring this up? Well problems people face represent opportunities for profit by providing a solution. You provide an answer that saves people's time and energy when it comes to dealing with anything, and you stand to profit from that difference in time and energy's monetary value.

All these problems that I'm talking about don't necessarily have to be serious problems. It could simply be something cosmetic or esthetic or maybe an improvement on a tool.

There is a general belief that to be a successful business person you have to come up with a big idea. Hollywood producers and movies constantly pound it into our head that its gotta be some huge life changing invention. This is simply not the case. Millions of dollars have been made from something as simple as sticking glue on paper. Remember post-it notes.

Actually, the smaller the variance and improvement, the better because it's typically then easier to implement and bring your idea to reality.

Time and energy are simply synonyms for money, because they are almost directly inter-exchangeable. If I have time, I can use that time to make money. If I have money, I can buy other people's time and energy. The more energy I have to expand, the more money I can make. Common sense.

coming up with answers to this ever increasing list of problems is a simple recipe that anyone can use to make money, whether they drop out or not, and it is this formula that creates millionaires and billionaires on a daily basis.

-the millionaire mindset

-Real estate

-Investing

-self discipline

-So.. Should you drop out? What was the essence that you took away from that clip? Your feedback will be appreciated.

Radio Episode 3 - Is School the Only Way to a Good Education?

The First thing you hear when you tell people that you are thinking about dropping out of school, is that you shouldn't turn your back on an education. This is forgivable because most of us have endured year after year of schooling, so it becomes almost impossible to think outside that frame of reference.

Let me ask this though.. How do kids learn to walk and talk? And as essential as those skills are you would think the government would institutionalize the process children learning to walk or talk. But somehow almost every child if left alone to learn in the presence of active adults, will watch them, and mimic that behavior. This is how education happens, by actually watching people do the things you want or need to learn.

In nature, specialization does not happen the way it's done through schooling. In nature, and as an example let me use someone who has a particular interest in music.

Well if that person makes it a habit to constantly improve their skills and understanding of music through either constant practice, reading books or simply watching tutorials on the topic, They will inevitably be lead into different fields, skills and practices.

Boredom is the natural educator. Because we can't sit still and do nothing, we have to constantly be engaged in something, whether positive or negative. Whenever we are actually engaged in something we have no choice but to learn and in essence we are practicing that skill.

So if all you do is spend your time playing games, then that is the skill-set you are building. Over time as a gamer, you will get bored and try other games, may take an interest in making your own games, may simply be interested in the graphics, or you might find you like the music and sound effects. These simple interests branch off into almost every other academic field of learning.

A nice analogy to this is to compare monoculture and perma-culture. Monoculture spend all their time growing one crop in mass, leaving the field vulnerable to pest attacks and the soil is uniformly being depleted.

This is when you have a large field with acre and acres of the same crop. Sounds like a good idea at first, sort of like schooling and how individual topics are isolated and people are taught to specialize. This leaves a huge number of school educated people vulnerable to certain prejudices and biases

Through perma-culture, by slowly developing the soil and blending a multitude of different crops, herbs and even animals sometimes, the farmer is able to create a sort of self sustaining farm that is well protected from pests by carefully selecting crops that compliment and offer protective benefits to each other.

This is the same as a child learning academics not by being crammed into some one size fits all school system which drills down into topics before the students feel the need for them. Instead through self education a student can follow their interests in certain activities and professions, and over time, their natural curiosity and competitive drive will lead them to the academic fields of study behind the things they love doing.

Radio Episode 2 - Is School Accreditation A Good Fallback Plan?

So why is it that we are told from a very young age that a school education is a good fall-back plan?  When did owning property, businesses and your community's respect go out of the window? How is a ticket to work for someone else a good fall back plan when you get old and are unable to work any longer?

Listen on Blogtalkradio or watch HQ Video Below

how does that ticket to employment help you if you fall sick?The number one reason people fall into poverty and file for bankruptcy is people getting sick.Because of this mindset most people once they fall sick, have no type of financial defense set up. They have been taught that having a job and a ticket to a job is all you need. Obviously this is not the case.

How is getting an expensive education racking up debt, and entering a global marketplace a good fall-back plan when there are millions of people entering that global economy who are willing and ready to do that same job for one tenth your pay with one 12th your living expenses and 0% of your debt, because schools are cheap abroad.

The only thing keeping this facade going is the protectionism allowed by the government. If it wasn't for laws preventing those people from competing with you to the fullest extent, these positions would no longer exist or at the very best they wouldn't be worth going into six figure debts for.

When you put all of the above together with the fact that schools overcharge on purpose and are businesses just like any other, it becomes obvious that the reason this mindset persists is the result of a very successful marketing campaign

please call in with your thoughts contentions and ideas... I'm always open to debate.

which is not a bad thing. Another product of schooling is the mass belief that being argumentative is a bad thing.

This is a habit we all picked up from teachers not wanting to be argued with. It's what I say it is because that's what the book says it is and you better say that's what it is or we gonna have problems. 
 

Then the rest of the class just gets mad at you for making the teacher mad. How we are all trained to jump to the defense of these teachers.
