the Institute of Unlearning, editorial 22

Those of you who have been frequent visitors to this site and have followed the weekly editorials must be getting the big picture by now. Sometimes, there is not much to comment on in the world as the game is pretty obvious once you have figured it out. Beyond bashing Bush or the United States, the trend toward globalization, and conspiracy research of one form or another, there is the true lesson about ourselves that all of this is meant to reveal. Only by gaining these insights can any lasting achievement towards peace be secured.

In the spirit of my old teaching ways, I have decided to offer up to you a "pop quiz" to measure your personal awareness in your own unlearning process. Take out a piece of paper and something to write with. Record your answers to the following statements as "true" or "false." If you really want to measure your level of unlearning, also jot down the reason why you perceive the statement as true or false. It is important to remember that there are no "right" or "wrong" answers to these questions. Your answers will reveal your perception about the world and may shed some light on areas that were previously hard to see in yourself. Take your time and carefully consider your responses. You may begin!
