An excerpt from my upcoming book "The Undustrial Revolution!"

The system of education as it exists currently, by design or by accident, seems to strip away a child’s natural desire to learn. By the time children are indoctrinated in to this environment they no longer have a desire to learn, but rather the game becomes how can I do the least amount of work possible to get the best grades possible so I can get by. Even the ones who do their best, the game is about getting good grades, and not necessarily to learn and to grow. By the time these children grow up and become adults they take this level of thinking in to the work force. They do the least amount of work possible for the biggest possible paycheck, or do their best for a paycheck. There is no pride of work, desire to grow and expand their capacities. The typical employee gives the least of their efforts and talents for the purpose of collecting the biggest possible check. The typical employer gives the smallest check possible for the purpose of getting the most amount of work. This is not a win/win environment where people are driven by vision and purpose, but a lose/lose environment where the driving force is surviving, getting by. Everyone is simply up to collecting a paycheck. It’s such a normal experience that, even as you read these words, you are more than likely saying to yourself, “Yeah, and so what?”
