package deal

so what this is saying.. is that most of us live our lives by some set of packaged rules. rules we have let guide/coerce/command/enslave us.. without question. the supposed to’s.

until we become not us. until we become not human. until we become bots/packages/dead.

why have we bought into this..? (perhaps pluralistic ignorance, ged ness, proof ness, basics ness…)

life isn’t a package deal. we’ve made it that. but that’s not what it is.

from Kevin Carson‘s regulatory state:

once central principle that’s apt to govern any liberatory, user-driven model of ed is – in Michael Staton’s phrase – the disaggregation or unbundling os services currently performed by the ed system. besides housing and all the ancillary services associated with colleges, this will mean unbundling the curriculum itself. the current credentialing system offers curricula – designed by higher ed bureaucracies in collab w/human resources bureaucracies – presented as a package deal. in order to get a credential acceptable to a corporate employer, the student is typically forced to pay for an entire curriculum of 100 plus credit hours mostly unrelated to the skill she’l actually be using..

once we get past the package deal myth..

imagine all the time/money/resources.. alive people we will have.

as we set ourselves free..
