I mean the education what we recieve in schools. What do you think? IMO education is manipulation, cuz we learn what the government tells us, and the simple fact that sometimes history books are different in countries, makes you think, or not?

I was born in Brazil but moved to the United States at an early age so I've experienced two different educational systems.
While in Brazil I attended both a Private and a Public school. While my public school was very good by Brazilian standards, the education I got there was years behind the schooling I got at the private institution. When I moved to the US I was shocked to see that my 3rd World Country education was on par (and ahead in Math and Science) to a 1st world country.
While the basics were roughly the same in the two countries, the US system is a lot better. This is because they actually separate the students who don't give a shit from the ones that actually care and allow these individuals to take advanced courses. Not only that, but the diversity of subjects which one can choose to study is quite remarkable.
Personally I do not believe in Public education. It is wasteful, and it leads people into believing they are entitled to an education (rather than recognizing the privilege they have). However given the perils of the system, I do believe that the US has gotten the basic frame work correctly.
In a perfect world all institutions would be private and run in a perfectly competitive market system. This way if you think your education is being manipulative you could just go across the street to a completely different institution. And since people would be directly paying for their own education, they would actually start to give a shit about it.

If an educative institution had as one of its goals to engender a particular mindset or behaviour in its students I think it would go well out of its way to ensure they DON'T know about it. Manipulation often goes undetected. Wouldn't be much difference between private and public as far as I can tell. I mean private institutions are just as likely to have their own agendas and the potential for manipulation would be as likely to occur there as in a public institution. And probably less likely to be detected as well.

Of course... You think Columbus discovered America? You think there is no biological basis for race? You think there have never been genocides against white people? I could go on...

The word gen means "illusion" or "apparition." In India, a man who uses conjury is called a genjutsushi ["a master of illusion technique"]. Everything in this world is but a marionette show. Thus we use the word gen.
