School Sucks: Higher Education For Self-Liberation

(Emotional Manipulators For Hire, Episode 7) Friend, copywriter, marketer, and Facebook World Champion Nathan Fraser and I continue our monthly conversation about marketing and media manipulation. You'll learn more about the tactics politicians and propagandists use against you, and how you can re-purpose such tactics for good.

Today we'll talk about what has been called "woke advertising."

Why it fails, and IF it really fails in the long run.

People love to say "get woke, go broke?"

I wonder if that's really a reliable rule, but Nathan applies a formula:

"This market is too much X. Let's get more Y."

Y comes in and wants the existing market to change to meet their preferences.

Y was never the target market - Y becomes a Phantom Audience.

X gets tired of being bashed for liking things the way they were - leaves. Industry/fandom collapses.

If you've enjoyed our past content on Getting Things Done, and you're looking ways to improve and/or simplify your organization system, this show is for you!

Guest: Alex Bell was the teenager I had mind when I first started this whole School Sucks project. Struggling through school and variety of personal challenges, he was the kind of person I hoped to reach. He discovered School Sucks Podcast in 2009, when the show was about three months old, and he has been a listener since then. He then became a supporter, and then a contributor, and now even an advisor.

We first connected in Salem, MA in 2017, and since then we've become very close friends.

Today we continue our discussion of Tiago Forte's "Building A Second Brain" organization and productivity system, focusing this time on "Just In Time" project management.

This includes:

- GTD vs. BASB

- flow cycles

- setting up mentally, emotionally, and environmentally

- the resource 'costs' of deep work

Music:

"Moonscapes" Dangermuffin

"Up Up and Away" Kid Cudi

We first connected in Salem, MA in 2017, and since then we've become very close friends.

So today Alex is back in an advisory role, to help me look at some ways to implement Tiago Forte's "Building A Second Brain" organization and productivity system. We'll talk about what we've already done, and how much further I should go.

We do an overview of the entire methodolgy, but then we'll focus in on two of the key concepts: PARA (projects, areas, resources, archive) and Progressive Summarization (for creating more actionable and accessible notes).

Diane Murphy taught in public schools for 30 years before she retired early to build BigFish, an innovative self-directed learning community in Dover, NH. I had the pleasure of speaking with Diane at the FreeCoast Festival in 2017, after hearing her presentation on BigFish. We reconnected today to discuss the growth of a self-directed learning center, and the adjustments needed to stay up and running amidst the pandemic restrictions.

You'll learn more about the tactics politicians and propagandists use against you, and how you can re-purpose such tactics for good.

Today:

- How stories supersede reality.

- How the stories we tell ourselves, and the stories we except as truth from others, become the background programming that runs our lives.

- How stories get people killed

- In marketing and sales :The stories customers tell themselves that prevent them from buying, and how to replace those stories with ones that will prime them for buying. And how to encourage those stories.

Jay, The Honest Teacher returns almost exactly one year after our last conversation. A lot has changed - if you haven't heard - since February 2020, so I asked him to offer some up close and personal accounts (from students and from his observations) about how institutional schooling has become even more of a dystopian nightmare.

Unfortunately now more than ever, school continues to make good on its promise to mold children into "good" citizens. But is there a silver lining? Jay says yes.

Cassidy Younghans is a former public school teacher and one of the founders of the EPIC Life Learning Community in Carrollton, Texas.

I first heard Cassidy on Off-Trail Learning with Blake Boles; I was impressed with her enthusiastic advocacy for self-directed education and later with her mission at at EPIC.

She joins me to discuss her "I could no longer..." story of leaving public schooling, her path through various forms of alternative education (including Sudbury and Northstar), and the vision and mission of EPIC. And much more.

She'll be back soon to talk about Agile Learning Tools.

MUSIC:

"Shake It Out" Karl Denson

"Everybody Is A Star" Fishbone

"Shine" The Alchemist
