AlexHOST
Because you've been talking about so many books, and I wanted to mention one book in specific.
AlexHOST
It's, uh, written by Jean Liedloff, and it was so inspiring to me because she actually went into the jungle, lived with a tribe, and, um- She was really into researching why are the kids so much happier over there, and this book inspired me to go to the jungle do the same, and I came to the same conclusion.
AlexHOST
Just leave them-
Sylvia Brinded PülsGUEST
That's the book I was talking about
Sylvia Brinded PülsGUEST
... we, we could see these parallels, and yeah, I started posting about it as well.
Sylvia Brinded PülsGUEST
And, um, yesterday I did the talk in front of the Bitcoin, uh, community here, and it was actually about a lot of this, like the foundation of Bitcoin is freedom and decentralization.
Sylvia Brinded PülsGUEST
And I talked about the importance of the foundation of us as human beings, and I re- I just described Jean Liedloff's book, The Continuum Concept, and then I went into the foundation of the education system because now it's based on manipulation and, um, control.
Sylvia Brinded PülsGUEST
And if you base it on, uh, freedom and decentralization like Bitcoin, like we're doing in, at A Place to Be, then ch- like, the possibilities are endless.
Patrick FarengaGUEST
First of all, I, I appreciate everything that, that you brought up about, you know, the, uh, children being, uh, carried all the time in the arms of, of, of different caregivers as, as native peoples work.
Patrick FarengaGUEST
The, you know, a, a book that really influenced John was called, uh, The Continuum Concept by, uh, yeah, Jean Liedloff.
Patrick FarengaGUEST
And, and, and that, you know, that w- was what he used, um, uh, very often as, as evidence of, you know, look, w- we know that children can learn without going to school [chuckles] look at native societies.
Patrick FarengaGUEST
But then more recently, uh, Dr. Peter Gray has, has written a lot, uh, particularly in his book, uh, Free, Free, uh, Free to Learn.
