I disagree that modern education is good for most people, or that being “another brick in the wall” is good for most people, either. Each person is created unique, and feeding them through an assembly line vision of education is, I think, a terrible tragedy.
Fair, but we also have to be okay with the tradeoffs we get from treating each person as unique. Things like the automobile and the airplane and Amazon would probably not exist.
Because they require many jobs which are carbon copies of each other and are not unique. The people that hold these jobs can be unique, but only outside of their jobs. Plus, I suspect that many people are quite content with modern education. It's only a handful that really rebel against it, but that handful is important.
I’m not sure that I agree that one can’t be unique in a carbon copy job. I’ve worked jobs alongside people with identical job descriptions before, but our different personalities and approaches definitely came through.
And sadly, I think you’re right that most people are content with modern education.

Why would they not exist if everyone were treated as unique?
