>Ahh yes the ol our way of life better so you must join or be removed
I don't think that at all, but I am not shocked that this is what you got out of it. Lol.
Are you satisfied with current Indigenous life outcomes? If the answer is "yes they're living their best lives" cool, there's no need for discussion.
>>I'm so glad you used those examples Why, so you could dodge the question?
Indigenous Australians are not succeeding by our cultural standards, I had assumed this was somehow a problem for you.
Ultimately I will happily concur that our culture is also as pointless and stupid as any other, but if we go there, you can't really complain about Indigenous quality of life, because then you're making a value judgement about a way of life which you implied was a bad thing to do above.
So which is it.
>explain to me exactly what level of calculus, animal husbandry or modern farming methods are taught in school? Relevance? Formal education is our social indoctrination apparatus and if people are unable to engage with it for any reason the likelihood they will manage to meet any of our societies success metrics is lowered. And yes, education is not what it used to be, but we're talking conceptually.
>Then explain how many people post formal education i.e. highschool use calculus, animal husbandry or modern farming methods? People who use this type of information in their specialised role within our society. That's one of the purposes of our educational system as it relates to our social model.
You missed the point.
You questioned whether there was any evidence that assimilation lead to different educational outcomes.
Going to school, listening to the ideas and doing the work is a prerequisite to achieve the educational outcomes.
It is a no brainer. You are not assimilated into Masai warrior culture. In order to become educated as a Masai warrior you would need to understand and ultimately accept and live by their cultural practices, as well as submit to any cultural initiation rites they might have.
As it stands today however this lack of assimilation makes you a total failure by their cultural standards (I bet you don't even know how to look after a cow at all !) . This doesn't make you a bad person though.
>Just because you're wearing a suit doesn't mean you're a good person... I also didn't say that or even imply it, but I knew this would be what you would get out of what I said. Which is why I said it. Try again.
