A treatment on democratic education and effective communication

This week's episode of TZM global reviews the TZM education trip to the oldest and longest running democratic school in Suffolk, England: Summerhill School. A school where Children make the rules with the teachers and do not have to attend lessons if they do not want to. Chaos and disorder surely runs rife in such a place, right? Perhaps not......

Along with this review James will also read the next article from the minds in the making section of the TZM education website www.tzmeducation.org entitled: An effective communicative approach.

- The Exponential function
  
  Conventional wisdom would have you believe that most people enter adolescence with a head full of high-minded ideals and a willingness to shake up the system. As they get older, however, they gradually begin to accept the status quo. For me, that process is reversed.
  
  The older I get, the more skeptical I become of our current social model. Why?
  
  Let’s start with this:

- What Causes Environmental Apathy in America?
  
  It should be of increasing concern to all Americans that there is an extreme disconnect between what Americans believe about man-made climate change, and what science tells us about it. That is to say, despite there being a clear scientific consensus, man-made climate change is more often than not framed as an ambiguous concept in the U.S. mainstream media. Consequently, climate change is generally thought to be far more esoteric than it actually is.

  The purpose of this project is to enable supporters of a natural law resource based economic model (NLRBE) to understand and appreciate the need to approach the education system in an effort to initiate the value shift required for a more peaceful and sustainable future to emerge.

- Parallel development for The Zeitgeist Movement
  
  Today I was reading The Zeitgeist Movement Defined: Realizing a New Train of Thought, again. I did so because I feel the need to express certain frustration on this/my social movement but haven’t found the right words. Also I didn’t want to make any false assumptions on its architecture, so I went straight to the source with a pen in my hand.
  
  I went through the 9 pages that constitute the overview and extracted some notes I would like to post in here:

- Let's make an important film together
  
  We need more films about the social, ecological and economic change!
  
  We want to make one and you could help us.
  In our Documentary "The Taste of Life" we want to show, that there are people in the whole world, already practicing this change in a great way.

  Transcript below. Can also be viewed via PDF HERE.
  
   Welcome to: “3 Questions - What do you propose?” This thought exercise is intended for both the average person, concerned about global problems – along with those who are still confused about - or perhaps even in opposition to The Zeitgeist Movement.

- Insects Are Helping Us Develop the Future of Hearing Aids
  
  The human ear is a miracle of mechanical evolution. It allows us to hear an astonishing range of sounds and to communicate and navigate in the world. It’s also easy to damage and difficult to repair. Hearing aids are still large, uncomfortable and as yet unable to deliver the rich and wonderful sounds we take for granted. Yet there may be a new way for us to replace damaged hearing from an unlikely source — the... read more
- Why We Need Moonshot Thinking in High School Education
  
  Take a moment and think back to when you were in kindergarten. Activities like capturing tadpoles, making birdfeeders, and building forts filled school days with wonder and excitement. Now fast-forward to 9th grade memories; the magic of the classroom begins to dwindle, right? There’s a reason for this. When kids enter school around age six, they’re naturally engaged in the classroom; their minds are fresh slates and sponges of curiosity. But research shows that around... read more
- VR Pioneer Chris Milk: Virtual Reality Will Mirror Life Like Nothing Else Before
  
  “I don’t think the future of VR looks like video games; I don’t think it looks like cinematic VR; I think it looks like stories from our real lives. It’s the most amazing afternoon you’ve ever had. For one person, it might be what we call a rom-com, for another it might be an action movie. For another, it might be something we don’t have a movie genre preexisting for. It might be just exploring.”... read more
- Biohacking Will Let You Connect Your Body to Anything You Want
  
  How many cyborgs did you see during your morning commute today? I would guess at least five. Did they make you nervous? Probably not; you likely didn’t even realize they were there. In a presentation titled “Biohacking and the Connected Body” at Singularity University Global Summit, Hannes Sjoblad informed the audience that we’re already living in the age of cyborgs. Sjoblad is co-founder of the Sweden-based biohacker network Bionyfiken, a chartered non-profit that unites DIY-biologists, hackers,... read more
- Are There Other Intelligent Civilizations Out There? Two Views on the Fermi Paradox
  
  Scientists have now discovered a few thousand planets orbiting other stars and, based on these observations, believe there may be as many as 8.8 billion potentially habitable Earth-sized planets in the Milky Way alone. Include stars smaller than the sun and that number increases to 40 billion potentially habitable Earth-like planets. Some take these observations as an indicator we couldn’t possibly be the only technologically advanced civilization in existence—others wonder why we haven’t heard from... read more
- 5 Big Ideas From Singularity University’s 2016 Global Solutions Program
  
  Something big recently happened at Singularity University. 79 participants from 49 different countries graduated from Singularity University’s 10-week flagship Global Solutions Program (GSP). Over 30 team projects were launched during GSP, each focused on using exponential technology to address a massive global problem, such as water scarcity, malnutrition, and climate change. Each year at the GSP closing ceremony, five leading teams present their projects. It’s an exciting moment. The teams have taken on SU’s 10^9... read more
- Peter Diamandis: We’ll Radically Extend Our Lives With New Technologies
  
  How long do you think you’ll live? You probably have some idea, and no doubt, you can easily imagine a maximum limit. We humans tend to make it to 70, 80, or 90. The oldest person on record, Jeanne Calment, lived to 122. But is that it? Will we ever live even longer lives? Peter Diamandis, cofounder and executive chairman of Singularity University and founder and executive chairman of XPRIZE, believes radically extended life is... read more
- How Self-Driving Cars Will Change It All—From Energy to Real Estate
  
  In a presentation at Singularity University’s first annual Global Summit, Brad Templeton informed attendees, “Self-driving cars are going to change the world.” You may have heard that before—but if anyone has the credentials to back up a statement like this, it’s Templeton. A software architect, internet entrepreneur, and board member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, he’s been a consultant on Google’s team designing a driverless car, and he regularly lectures and blogs about automated transportation.... read more
- 7 Key Factors Driving the Artificial Intelligence Revolution
  
  Under, behind and inside many of the apps we use every day, a revolution is underway. It's a revolution that started decades ago but today is empowering companies to deliver better, smarter services with greater ease and on broader scales than ever before. It's the artificial intelligence revolution, and it's changing everything. At Singularity University's inaugural Global Summit, Neil Jacobstein, chair of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, provided a primer showing how artificial intelligence literally transforms everything it touches. First... read more
- Engineering Will Soon Be ‘More Parenting Than Programming’
  
  "What's a crazy idea you believe in that others don't agree with?" Peter Diamandis posed this classic question (which originated with Peter Thiel) during an interview with Steve Jurvetson at Singularity University's first ever Global Summit. A successful venture capital investor, Jurvetson is known as someone with a keen ability to spot important technological trends before others catch on. He was early investor in both Tesla and SpaceX as well as sitting on the boards of Synthetic Genomics, Planet Labs,... read more
