Isaac Asimov
“How harmful overspecialization is. It cuts knowledge at a million points and leaves it bleeding.”
Isaac Asimov, Prelude to Foundation

Ivan Illich
“The right of free assembly has been politically recognized and culturally accepted. We should now understand that this right is curtailed by laws that make some forms of assembly obligatory. This is especially the case with institutions which conscript according to age group, class, or sex, and which are very time-consuming. The army is one example. School is an even more outrageous one.”
Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

Ivan Illich
“Schools themselves pervert the natural inclination to grow and learn into the demand for instruction.”
Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society

Blake J. Harris
“Experiences like these led him to believe that the fundamental problem with marketing was its reliance on the past. It looked backward, not forward, and failed to take into account innovation, trends, or cultural shifts in taste.”
Blake J. Harris, Console Wars: Sega, Nintendo, and the Battle that Defined a Generation

Ivan Illich
“Most learning is not the result of instruction. It is rather the result of unhampered participation in a meaningful setting. Most people learn best by being "with it," yet school makes them identify their personal, cognitive growth with elaborate planning and manipulation.”
Ivan Illich, Deschooling Society
