Teachers
who take an interest in the ability of their students to learn, recognize that
every student is a unique case that cannot be neatly placed in one category or
another.
Besides,
many factors in the life of a student cause his or her aptitude at learning to
fluctuate between excellent and poor, several times as they go through their
difficult teen years.
But
if you cannot categorize the students as to where they stand during their learning
journey, you can take an overall view of the learning process, and make an
important observation. It is that there are two methods by which students (and
people in general) learn. In fact, when you study all walks of life in society,
you find that the two methods apply everywhere.
I
call one method, “organized serial approach” and the other method, “random
parallel approach.” The first is what every scholastic syllabus delivers. That
is, when designing a course, we begin with the simplest of basics, and use them
as requisites to build increasingly more complex ideas. And those ideas are
called serial because they come one after the other, each dependent on what
preceded it.
As
to the random parallel approach, it consists of picking up bits of knowledge
(some light and some weighty) from anywhere without necessarily knowing how the
bits relate to each other, or seeking to know how they relate to anything else
… at least not initially. But then, it happens during moments of eureka that
the mind connects two or more previously acquired bits of knowledge, thus opens
a new vista of wonders to explore and create works never seen before, or
discover knowledge never known before.
Later
in life, as we put in practice what we learned in school, we find ourselves
continuing to learn by both methods. On the one hand, our supervisors would
teach us sequentially how to harmonize what we learned in school with the
culture of the company, so as to make things run smoothly. At the same time,
however, we randomly pick new ideas here and there from society at large, as we
realize how large and diverse the world really is outside the classroom and
outside our place of work.
To
understand an important aspect of American life, we need to point out that
America is made of immigrants who left their old life behind because they are
generally more adventurous and entrepreneurial kind of individuals. Because of
this, they are driven by the spirit of the tinkerer, which means they are
naturally creative and apt to connect disparate idea, and come up with new
ones. These people would also be extremely eager to learn whatever their
supervisors wish to knock into their heads, be it serially or randomly. Thus,
if there is something that can be said about American exceptionalism, this is
what defines it.
But
there is a fly in the ointment, and the name of that fly is Jew. For thousands
of years, the Jewish plan has been to win over and take control of a society
that would allow the Jews to supplant its existing system of governance. Having
rehearsed this plan for thousands of years, the Jews knew what to do to
convince the Americans that contrary to popular belief, everything with them
was not perfect but that the Jews could bring perfection to them.
So,
while pretending to work on a plan that will make America more perfect for
Americans, the Jews actually worked on a plan to make America more compatible
with the Jewish scheme of taking over the Middle East as a prelude to taking
over the world.
The
Jews did that by changing the American perception of reality. They began the
lesson by complaining that they were discriminated against because people did
not understand their sensitivities. They asked that they be allowed to educate
the American public, and got the permission in the form of editors and
publishers allowing them to say and write anything they wanted. And so, the
Jews did what they wanted, which was to sabotage the normal method by which
people learn. They replaced it with Jewish education, which consists of loving
everything that’s associated with Jews, and hating everything that’s not.
This
is the lesson that America took to the Middle East, believing it was taking a
winning formula. But America was eventually mugged by the reality that the Jews
had emasculated its ability to get along with people. They also taught it the
wrong lesson and robbed it of the ability to learn serially or randomly.
Not
only has America lost the ability to tinker and come up with innovations such
as those that made it the best in the world, it lost the ability to persuade
foreigners it is the friend they want to have. This is evidenced by the article
that came under the title: “'Saddam Hussein's hell is better than Americans'
paradise,'” written by Carl J.V. Care, and published on January 12, 2020 in the
Washington Examiner. Here is what Carl Care has concluded:
“From
an Iraqi perspective, the US was first an invader and then an incompetent state
builder. This helped pull Iraq further away from the US. From this environment,
ISIS would eventually emerge. Ironically, throughout Iraq, locals often
repeated that Saddam Hussein's Hell was better than the Americans' paradise. Is
it any wonder?”
But
if Carl Care was able to reach this conclusion, why would every American not be
able to reach it given that it is based on simple common sense? Well, to find
the answer, you'll have to read the entire Carl Care article.
