Episode notes
Education As Machine Production
- Modern mass education primarily manufactures cogs for an economic machine rather than expanding human potential.
- Sadhguru argues children are treated as fuel for an economic engine, not beings to be developed.
Three Distinct School Models
- Isha schools present three models: employment-focused rural education, fee-based homeschool for expansion, and non-academic arts monastic training.
- The arts/monastic model prioritizes body, brain and attention over certification.
Prioritize Competence Over Certificates
- Avoid credential-focused schooling and promise competence over certificates.
- Sadhguru recommends not awarding certificates so doors open by competence, not qualification.
