In a wide-ranging consideration of 21st century education, Noam Chomsky argues that much of what passes for education reform is 'a way of turning the population into a bunch of imbeciles.' Via Keith Heggart, juandoming 
Linda Alexander's curator insight,

Noam Chomsky peers from above society and the various winds of change and offers broad, sweeping thematic conclusions. While I am not confident that everything is quite so maliciously calculated in American society as he purports, but rather the behavioral trappings of a consumer culture gone awry and an American psychological profile historically embedded with independence at all costs, he certainly makes one think deeply about the grave consequences of corporate, governmental and individuals actions and inactions, and the underlying ideals and interconnectedness of all our ways.
p.s. His views on education are spot-on....what makes learning rich and rewarding.

What about all of the knowledge and information acquired by an organization and its employees in the normal course of business? Should this information be shared? Via Ana Cristina Pratas, Gust MEES

The best part about this is that people are sharing their knowledge and ideas without expecting any immediate return on their investment of time and resources. Instead, there is a sort of unwritten rule to “pay it forward” because someday soon you will be the one needing advice.
