Other Genius: The kind we all begin with: “I usually take all these memes with a grain of salt, but there’s a bit of truth to this one. I was a weird, energetic kid. I had strange creativities and interests and passions. The system never really fed that… Not even in gifted school or music or art classes. I was a reserved kid and never stirred shit up too much… But I have a feeling I just sat there and dealt with it, keeping score of all the fucked up things I noticed about “the system” and the way it worked. The way it impacted peoples lives. What it created out of people, in their adolescence and adulthood. I guess I kind of always kept a library of notes about this weird inner passion I had for going against the system. It has apparently turned into a passion for making things better for people that are stuck in the system. I don’t really know why. Freeing them, inspiring questioning, inspiring shifts in consciousness towards more open and artistic perspectives of the way you experience life…. I always had a fight in me. A war against something functioning against me in the world around me. I don’t regret growing up as a very intelligent child. I don’t regret coiling back and becoming what can almost be considered a cliche of a personality because of this unchangeable fact… My life has been pretty awesome, actually. Quite an adventure so far. But some kids might not be as resilient. Some kids might turn into horrible horrible things. Simply because they’re hyper intelligent and aware of how totally screwed things really are. Education is INSANE now that I look back. Useless shit. Hours of wasted time. Some comedian on tv last night mentioned something about school that I found interesting. It should be for adults. Adults wanna learn. Kids wanna play. I love watching the nerdiest things possible. I’ve watched so many TED talks it’s not even funny. After the age of 30, though…. I just know something is totally wrong with the way we teach kids. I’m totally getting it now. I feel strong and motivated about this realization and I’m wondering what I can do. I don’t really teach, I’m a private instructor for music. I never studied teaching at all. I’m just absorbing an intense amount of “teaching” vibes right now and my analytical side is eating it up and keeping my brain busy. Anyone have any thoughts? TEACHERS ESPECIALLY?” — @[100000474084109:2048:Marcel Salas]
