Children are NOT taught to THINK but to REPEAT.
“Education” has been compartmentalized.
Government ACTIVELY prevents children from “thinking too much”. If people were actually THINKING they wouldn’t follow the “rules” blindly, becoming slaves to the current “system”.
This is why TRUE economics is not taught in schools. (Most bankers don’t know how the illegal Central Banks work!)
Organized Religion is a perfect example of this form of “education”.
School history books are LOADED with lies.

Tony, I’m sure mind mapping is marvellous and useful, but the tone of the presentation is pompous & self-righteous & pushy. Al this self important possessive repeated use of ‘my my my’ as if you’re trying to start a cult. Fame makes anyone rotten in the end, I don’t blame you. Just look in the mirror. In the end the important thing is caring for others. People sense the intent of the treatment they’re getting. Lets just go and play guitar and live simply and less intellectually.

Really, I didn’t get that impression.
I think he’s a bit direct and “dead panny”, but I didn’t feel pomposity.
He just seems like an intense british fellow.
Just my opinion

You watched Zeitgeist? You know I do agree with everything you said but don’t go off believing everything you see on TV or the internet for that matter. America’s goverment’s way of doing things sucks…

I delve into diaries, “legal” papers, letters and “secret” documents. Minutes from secret organizations and exposes from truly independant sources and find archives of the LIBRARY of CONGRESS very revealing. The worlds “histories” are a pack of lies. The only TRUTHS in all our scools is mathematics – the rich gain from any advancments in that field.
ALL the rest is subjective….propaganda – a means of control.

i think you have a MAJOR malfunction dude, the way you depict yourself is that of a hippy, or probably one of those people that bang a bongo while making up poetry off the top of your head, granted, there are a lot of lies in our history books, but could it be that not a lot of people know the truth? however, how the hell do you know weather they’re true or not? were YOU alive during those times? if you were then i congratulate you, you are now the oldest person on earth, go and die already.

So that’s what I’ve been doing all these years. No wonder I can remember and memorise books after books. My notes, all of them are like that. Images, lines with words and images.
So that’s mind mapping. Didn’t know it had a name. Learning something new everyday!

Don’t know about you, but I can pull key idea’s out of a sentence…in fact, any idiot can. This is bollucks. Learn how you prefer to learn.

GenevaSuspension, you can pull the idea out of a sentence. Congratulations. Most can.
The point of mind maps is to use that key idea only and get rid of redundant words. It boils down the sentence until the purist idea is left.
Why have to read a whole sentence for one key idea, when you can have that key idea by itself? Why clutter your mind with unnecessary, excessive words?

A proper sentence won’t have redundant words, and the “excess” words you write about are required to contextualize the “important” words and ideas.
For example, you pulled the “key words” out of my last post, but completely overlooked my hyperbolic sarcasm.

Great info, but I don’t think he is the inventor. little naked people in 3rd world tribal communities were talking about sirius A and sirius B centuries ago and they never stepped foot in a classroom. Youtube wasn’t invented yet nor was this guy born yet. just check it out
