On Knowledge and Education
Knowledge is that which pertains to mind and biases the same into less of less. It's more of a constraint rather than a helper. With a free and unbiased mind, one is capable of pursuing things with high energy and force. One is capable of producing the outstanding than the common. Doing things is concerned with minimizing the complexity of a system. But with a mind which itself is complex-ed by the multitude of ideas of difference, it has been an impossible to "do" in the simplest form and with infinite efficiency. Or part of the world propagates higher thinking yet when it comes to education, thought process is the last thing that is given a concern. With time one focuses on maximizing the volume of information and hence lose or weaken the ability to process the same. We are in an urgent need to develop an education system that focuses less and less on consumption of knowledge and focus our time and energies on strengthening logical process as well as ability to think beyond the status quo and help to alter the same. In this innovation age, information is available within a blink of time hence holds less importance for the amount contained in mind. Ability to classify information, making decisions, free thinking are the most important qualities that education should aim to impart. Unless research is not put into understanding and creating a new type of education, we would never be able to catch up to the expectations of our age.
