428: Postman - A great narrative... has sufficient credibility, complexity, and symbolic power to enable one to organize one's life around it

We Don't Need No Education.

In this episode, we read The End of Education by Neal Postman, discussing the mechanisms of public education, religious catechesis, the influence of the Enlightenment and psychoanalysis on contemporary learning, and what happens when fiction replaces truth as the basis of meaning. This and much, much more on today's show!
