14. Ivan Illich, 1926 - 2002
Ivan Illich, Austrian
philosopher, Roman
Catholic priest and critic of
the institutions of
contemporary western
culture and their effects on
the provenance and practice
of education, medicine,
work, energy use, and
economic development.
“Deschooling Society”
16. “Together we have come to
realize that for most men the
right to learn is curtailed by
the obligation to attend
school.”
"...Schooling implies custodial care for persons who
are declared undesirable elsewhere by the simple
fact that a school has been built to serve them."
17. “Schools are designed
on the assumption that
there is a secret to
everything in life... and
that only teachers can
properly reveal these
secrets.”
19. “When pressed to specify how they
acquired what they know and value, will
readily admit that they learned it more
often outside than inside school. Their
knowledge of facts, their understanding of
life and work came to them from
friendship or love, while viewing TV, or
while reading, from examples of peers or
the challenge of a street encounter.”

Notes de l'éditeur
Most important meme of the day is Change
Loners are powerless. We learn with one another. Teams work; no hermits allowed.
Once had plenty of time, new computer model every six or seven years
Web 2 & learning: ever faster
20,000 years
phase change, not downturn
The predictable “clockwork universe” is no more. We inhabit a complex world of perpetual surprise.
Plants where people work used to look like this. Factories and efficiency.
Now we work amid networks. As in nature, everything is connected to everything else.
I used to advise people to take the leap into the new way of work right away. Now I suggest they sell their stakeholders on the idea first.
Illich:
To liberate access to things by abolishing the control which persons and institutions now exercise over their educational values.
To liberate the sharing of skills by guaranteeing freedom to teach or exercise them on request.
To liberate the critical and creative resources of people by returning to individual persons the ability to call and hold meetings — an ability now increasingly monopolized by institutions which claim to speak for the people.
To liberate the individual from the obligation to shape his expectations to the services offered by any established profession — by providing him with the opportunity to draw on the experience of his peers and to entrust himself to the teacher, guide, adviser, or healer of his choice. Inevitably the deschooling of society will blur the distinctions between economics, education, and politics on which the stability of the present world order and the stability of nations now rest.
