It is time we had an interdisciplinary world. It is time we created a society where all levels of thinking and society can work together – so the individual psychologies can live together in a more
integrated society. Interdisciplinary thinking tries to promote environmentalism, capitalism, religion, heroic
individualism, and families simultaneously. Beauty, truth, and ethics are united.

Education
Here's a question for everyone: what is education FOR?
To help the adapted mind overcome what it is innately bad at, e.g. supplementing vitalism with evolutionary biology and heuristics with statistics?
To create civilized human beings who are capable of ruling themselves, i.e. liberation through discipline?
To help get homo sapiens settled down and happy before s/he wrecks the planet?
To teach people how to want God, truth and beauty?
To provide jobs for an army of "compassionate" people educated (mostly) in the arts and social sciences who don't actually know how to do anything, and a publicly funded nanny for parents who don't have the time or skills to look after their kids?

Hmm . . . Why do I get the feeling that at least one of these is ironic?
I should have said "self discipline."
