Children being smarter than old people

[skydog]

While this is equally just a belief its funny to look at the dominant paradigm that a fifty year old must automatically be wiser than a 7 year old.

 

If a 7 year old black girl (for example) has very clever original ideas and attitudes we tell her no first you must go to school become indoctrinated then you and your ideas are respectable.

 

As a child one is more authentic, playful, has more alpha and beta brain waves but the school systems through rigid learning patterns, indoctrination of cultural beliefs etc kind of dumb down children in many ways.

 

hmm
