How auspicious to be born in 1984!! Damn - you nailed it wit this: "It is also a social construct that we search for freedom in education in the broken system instead of realizing we now have complete freedom outside of that system to educate ourselves."
My parents, too, were so busy surviving in "the system" that they, too, trusted it completely. I really like the way you brought forward the point that we have power, and choice, right now. And the broken system is, well, broken.
Thanks for highlighting it for me. I'll be sharing it on Facebook and LinkedIn to see what the response over there will be.
The really sad part of it, it that while I was writing it, I realized that I'm often also just surviving in the system 😔.
