    If I fully depended on school and public "education" and if I never start learning on my own in my own way (including english language) I would perhaps never by even able to listen to this fantastic video. Thanks.

      Very Cool point. Public school was/is, by design, formed to impart a general scaffold of information. This in itself creates a bias if that general scaffold is considered as an education. It is general information, not the whole story! Also, it is memorized, without practical application- this causing a rift between practice and application. This causes a lack, in self development, and in the strongest way to learn, which is self discovery. Self discovery is natural, it is how we learn to crawl, without a manual! Yet, if we cannot read ( spoken and written words) , we allow ourselves to be uninformed, and if we accept information without living relationships to our world, we are easily mis-informed. Hence, a real education involves direct engagement with practical reality. The Finnish schools allow an hour of recess, because this exposes words, and vocabulary of the group, to everyone, and allows self discovery. And yes, the compounding effect of mis-information and being inherently uninformed through lack ( general memorized-only info) leads to behavioral dis-orders. A dis-order socially and in self responsibility, is a cognition that has a limited scaffold, inhibiting direct insight into effective self direction because one is caught up in the repetitive practice of over-use as mis-use of the imagination, and following ( and having to sort out that inner information) general outlines that lack micro awareness of full and effective practical movements. Then, one gets caught in sorting this mis-use out, MISSING so much of a real practice and real focus that would lead to self responsibility. This has another consequence, of a fear of this action of lack and confusion being known. It eventually spirals out of control and we lose a natural spatial ability that is a more rapid learning state of being. Look, how often do we have an opportunity to really investigate something, to research beyond the superficial? As you say, one must take self responsibility for this, because our schools , by design, are not doing this, and were not meant to- all the while sounding like a good idea.
