Charles Dickens: Hard Times FACTS! Today we hear endlessly that what is needed in schools is math and science majors, for only these will aid the technocrats in creating their hallucinatory global technocracy. And so it is little wonder that liberal arts majors are almost no more and liberal arts colleges are morphing into math, science ( that philosophically loaded trick word again), robotics and engineering schools. Libraries in schools are often enough being replaced by computer labs and so on.... Why? Because the one thing the burgeoning global Technocracy does NOT need is students who THINK, students who ponder the moral implications of what the global Technocracy is building! And once again it was Charles Dickens---a THINKER you see--- who saw some of what could be coming if the Industrial Revolution was abused at the expense of human beings, morals, traditional values... Is it any wonder then that Dickens has been falling out of favor in the New Schools run by the wreckers (who must be resisted)? Another thinker writes, Charles Dickens wrote the book (Hard Times) in order to convey to the contrary his ideas of education. Utilitarianism and rationalism were the hallmarks of this period, a utilitarian will provide the greatest good for the greatest number and a rationalist will exclude any metaphysicality from the situation and only focus on the factual element. Education was regarded as a machine like most practicalities, and the children were just tools that could be welded according to the facts they were taught. Coketown is the fictional city where Hard times is set, it is portrayed as an average Northern town at the time, which Charles Dickens first describes as a town of machinery and tall chimneys, out of which interminable serpents of smoke trailed themselves forever and ever. ----Alex Russell Watch and get it: youtube/embed/HrO3GC_Rkb4?autoplay=1
