 The net function of the mean, the inverse function. How can a society with individuality be built? dysfunction.



In the fifty years from the 1890s to the 1940s, almost all social systems shifted towards a tendency to evaluate a person about the average.


​

Thorndike fully supported the Taylorism of education but had a different view on the educational goal, which claimed that the goal of education was to ensure that all students receive the same average education so that they are prepared for the same average work. Son Dyke School of Education puts quality over equality.


Thorndike believes that a school should be able to classify young students according to their talents, classify their life status as an effective existence such as manager, worker, and leader, and distribute educational resources accordingly. was the educational centre of He believed that the school should pave the way for talented students to put their talents to good use in leading the country. He also believed that it would be better for students who were hovering around the average to take on the role of Taylorist workers and move on to work instead of school.



It defines the individuality and value of human beings as originating from the deviation of the mean, and not only because mean-centred standardization ensures standardized results, but also makes it easier to measure the mean deviation of each student, and to determine who is an honour student and who is an inferior student. I thought it would be easier to hide.



 During the transformation period, businesses, schools, governments, etc. gradually adopted the belief that systems outweigh individuals as a guiding principle and began to grant people opportunities by type or rank.


Even today, in the age of averages, this trend continues. Even now, 20 years after entering the 21st century, people are evaluated according to how close they are to the average or how far they can exceed the average.


As society embraced autism, businesses thrived and consumers bought cheaper products.


Taylorism has led to wage increases throughout society and may have lifted more people out of poverty than any other economic development in the last 20th century. Also, nepotism and kinship decreased due to the averaging test.


Undoubtedly, implementing the universal average system has contributed to establishing a relatively stable and prosperous democracy.


​

However, this universalization of mechanism brought the Norma lookalike contest into the world. People struggle to be better than the average of everyone else.


The world has lost its individual dignity. Integrity has been reduced to a burden or an obstacle on the road to success, or a glance that you will regret.



Everyone wants to be recognized for their individuality. They want to live in a society where they can be who they really are. We want a society where people can learn, develop and pursue opportunities in their own way, according to their own nature, without having to conform to artificial standards.



In a society that is based on the belief that individuals can only be evaluated by referring to the average, how can we build conditions to understand and utilize individuality?

Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom.

 Being able to do anything, or quitting, is freedom. ​ Get your hands off the hanging cliff. Enlightened people say I had to get my hands off the hanging cliff. I can't believe it's a story from Buddhism, which emphasizes mercy and love. Doubts can be easily dispelled. A 'hanging cliff' is actually just an object of obsession, believing that it will die if it is released even though there is no problem. The 'hanging cliff' is different for each person. It could be youth, health, family, money, home, or children. Or it could be love, it could be friendship, it could be the approval of others.   It is clear that the person who cannot lift his hand from the cliff is not free, he is not the master of his own life. Whatever it is, if it is impossible to live without it, and if it is likely that he will die, he is already a slave to the cliff on which he hangs. If you let go, you will die, but why should you let go? For the freedom to pursue new possibilities in life....

 alchemist. The alchemy of life, fulfilling the myth of the self. There are three classes of alchemists. A person who only imitates the language of alchemy without understanding it, Someone who understands but is finally frustrated to know that the language of alchemy is to be followed with the heart and not the head, A person who has never heard of alchemy, but has already become an alchemist by living the life of obtaining the secret of alchemy and discovering the 'philosopher's stone' in his life... ​ Failed alchemists just want to turn lead into gold.

君子上達 小人下達

Learning flows from the bottom up to the high. ​ A gentleman faces upwards and a small man faces downwards. (君子上達 小人下達) .. - Analects ​ It means that a gentleman goes through high-level studies and disciplines to rectify himself and create a better world, but a small man concentrates on fulfilling his own interests and greed. In addition, <Heonmun> contains words that tell how to do it. That's 'Hahak Sangdal'. It means that no matter how high ideals and dignified life are pursued, daily learning must be a prerequisite. ​ ​ Education must first teach the near and small, and then the far and great. If you do not go through the process of solidifying the basics properly in order to achieve quick results and teach high-level things first, you will collapse at some point, like building a castle on sand. However, if you stop at something close and small, you will not be able to make progress in your studies. The beginning of learning is small and close, but the end of learn...
