Problem-posing education does not and cannot serve the interests of the oppressor. No oppressive order could permit the oppressed to begin to question: Why?

Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in “changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them”; for the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated.

Implicit in the banking concept [of education] is the assumption of a dichotomy between human beings and the world: a person is merely in the world, not with the world or with others…In this view, the person is not a conscious being (corpo consciente); he or she is rather the possessor of a consciousness: an empty “mind” passively open to the reception of deposits of reality from the world outside.

I personally really have problems with the "world of suffering" argument because my grandparents were born born while China was being invaded by Japan after years of civil war, and my parents were born during the Great Chinese Famine.

They all had or have had more than their fair share of suffering but never once did I hear them regret their lives.

Just another misanthropic reddit edge lord. Don't mind them.

I didn't know lyrics were copyrighted. There are many sites that already release lyrics for songs without AI.

Got a real brain genius over here

"I didn't know lyrics were copyrighted."

I just... What?

I guess that’s something that comes with the severe depression. I already regret my own life half the time and I’ve been relatively privileged. If my life had sucked more for material reasons my parents obviously knew about I’d be pissed at them.
