Education as a human flourishing

Robinson says that there is a “Second Climate Crisis” (referring to the Algore’s talk) but now it’s calling “The Human Crisis” wich have to be treated with urgency.
We have a poor use of our talents and also there are people who don’t think they have any talent or they don’t enjoy what they do.
People do things that don’t like because the education inhibits the natural talents, so reform the education is not enough; we need a “revolution in education”.

He took a message from Abraham Lincoln wich says:
“The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew, we must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country”.
The meaning of this message is that many of our ideas have been formed with the circumstances of previous centuries and we have to “disenthrall” ourselves.
He says too that we are obsessed with getting people to college but it’s not always the way for all people now and we are almost forced to go to the college, to be a professional and had a great potential.

As a summary, we have to compare us on principals of agriculture: the human flourishing isn’t a mechanical process, it’s an organic process, and we cannot predict the outcome of human development, but we can create the conditions under which.
We have to reconstitute our sense of ability and of intelligence. It’s about the passion; it excites our spirit and energy because if we do what we love to do, all time’s courses change.

I really never got to thinking in this theme… but I’m agree with Mr. Robinson because since we are children, our parents, teachers and friends want to we were “somebody in this life”, and this society have the bad habit of demanding to be the best and make money, but doesn’t care what you want, what I want to do or for what I’m good. I maybe should be an artist hahaha.
