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.

They do, they do.

No wonder so many of them want to escape into some ostensibly-better "simulation" promised by some nerd-rapture in the future and/or see the lived reality around them as some "simulation" already as an excuse to dehumanize other people and living things as "NPCs."

do they? I have never once seen an anti-natalist reference simulation theory

Not as part of anti-natalism as a decreed intent, no, but the ideological overlap (and posting history) between one ideology and the other belief system was pretty significant for a few years on Reddit. Both were popular and popular things with similar converging interests with users posting in communities related to both.

yeah I've never once came accross anyone who believed both things though so I don't think that is part of it

I've met and come across people believing in both things. Not seeing any vast gap of impossibility here.

ok

I'm assuming you're that invested in believing that lived life is a simulation or in antinatalism to make this your personal "nuh uh" crusade.
