The End of Education — Purpose, Narrative, and Learning (Audio)

Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.This episode explores The End of Education by Neil Postman as a systems-level examination of how schooling loses effectiveness when it loses meaning.By distinguishing between making a living and making a life, the book reveals how education becomes hollow when reduced to economic output, technological efficiency, or ideological sorting. The episode examines how shared narratives once gave coherence to learning — and what happens when they disappear.📺 Watch the Deep Dive and Mini Explainer on YouTube:👉 https://youtu.be/uWNdbgovIYI❤️ Support Crisis in Perception on Patreon:👉 https://patreon.com/CrisisInPerceptionAuthor Support LineIf these ideas resonate, consider reading the book yourself or borrowing it from your local library.Call to ActionIf you found this episode valuable, please follow the show and share it with others.
