I agree so much of your message. Worth you coming back to say it. One bit
of logic I do not follow:

" EVERY SOCIETY HAS A MODEL OF REALITY--A BODY OF KNOWLEDGE AND A
WAY OF ORGANIZING THAT KNOWLEDGE. IF THIS KNOWLEDGE AND ITS ORGANIZING
SCHEME ARE MADE EXPLICIT AND FORMALIZED, IT WILL CONSTITUTE EACH SOCIETY'S
OPTIMUM DESIGN FOR GENERAL STUDY."

As I read that it is saying that the optimum design for study is the one
that explicitly perpetuates the model of reality. I read most of the rest
of your message as saying that the problem is education currently does it
implicitly.

Should we not be helping people to discover how to reveal and question the
underlying models. Sorry what have I missed?
