The Cult of Smart

Fredrik makes some really great points in this interview, but as a far left socialist, he turns to socialism for the solution to the broken education system.

While Fredrik realizes in the description for his book linked below states, “our education system can never create equal opportunity for all”, but then he calls for “This passionate, voice-driven manifesto demands that we embrace a new goal for education: equality of outcomes.”

Equality of Outcomes = Socialism

“I can’t imagine anything we could possibly strive for in our society that would make it into hell faster than ‘Equality of Outcome’.” ~ Jordan Peterson

“A society that puts equality before freedom will get neither. A society that puts freedom before equality will get a high degree of both.” ~ Milton Friedman

We can agree that our one size fits all education system does not bring out children’s individuality or respect their multiple intelligences and that all children should have the “equal opportunity” to pursue their passions and embrace their intelligence. Fredrik realizes individuals are different, but yet calls for the same outcome which seems counter intuitive to individuality.
