What’s the difference between education and indoctrination?
Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended?
The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility.
We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.
The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority.
As Seth Godin writes, “To efficiently run a school, amplify fear (and destroy passion).”
These days, educators have limited intellectual freedom to teach what they want to teach.
In past decades, we had far less access to information or schooling, yet were far more educated.
Now in the age of AI, we have access to unlimited information, but we don’t know if any of it is real or true.
So what is the future of education?
Our guest today is Matt Beaudreau, a former public school educator and administrator who has dedicated his career to rethinking the very foundations of our education system.
Matt shares: “When I saw this system for what it was, I could no longer be a part of perpetuating it.”
As founder of the Apogee Strong mentorship program, Matt has an unwavering commitment to empowering young people to become sovereign, self-directed learners - a radical departure from the compliance-driven model that dominates our schools.
True education should foster creativity and critical thinking, allowing individuals to pursue their unique passions. Matt’s belief, which I share, is that genius is common, and true learning is about unlocking the innate genius in every one of us.
In this episode, you’ll discover how to unshackle your mind from the limits of traditional schooling and cultural conditioning, the status games played by elite institutions, how to utilize passion as a vehicle to learn how to learn, and much more.
