Once again WordPress looses my comment. I can only hope it is being held for moderation by Alec :(

ALso, for the record I do side with Minhaaj – sorry for not responding at the time.. I must have been busy. Minhaaj does capture my feelings of being compromised by the dominant paradigm. While on the one hand we say we appreciate PD or CC0, we *think* forcing attribution is needed. It is a very interesting position Minhaaj takes – that respect is earned (and learned), and that forces our hands on the whole altruism train we are skip riding.

Altimately, altruism in the real measure (for me). It is something I’m reflecting on more and more, and I think Minhaaj for his seeding this in me. Minhaaj is uncomprimising and fierce in his views, but I’m sorry to see Alec rejecting his efforts to communicate with us here. Now that time has passed, I hope we can all look back on this discussion with fresh eyes and take another step forward.

Further to “every act of creation is also an act of destruction” Ive just been reading through some more obscure work by Ivan Illich. A came across a booklet by Verne and Illich called, Imprisoned in the Global Classroom (1976). In it they criticise early attempts at deschooling for coming up with (or empowering) the notion of “life long learning”. Not only because it evidently resulted in a new way for industry to limit and exploit people, but because it spread the premis of education across a person’s and communities entire life. This, they say, is because the deschoolers (let’s say edupunks in the employ of an institution) didn’t review the fundamental critique of the legitimacy of education and the illusion of scarcity they propell such as courses, certificates, degrees, and so on.

So, are we – todays open teachers – once again insensitive to our dominance over people and communities, devising this thing called open teaching that will simply entrap more people into our illusion?

I hope you’ll join me in an exploration of this seed of doubt and radical humanism.. Building you a prison
