Ep. 180 – 7 Men Who Rule The World From The Grave – Part 5: John Dewey
Update: 2025-09-24
Description
Episode Synopsis:
Did the ideas of John Dewey die along with him, or are the notions of pragmatism and it a associated instruction model of Progressive Education persistent enough to maintain a stranglehold on society, long after their visionary author was put to rest?
We talk about this and much more, including:
- Why did John Dewey expand education further into adolescence, constituting the 666 days of compulsory education we see today?
- Why was John Dewey working for John D Rockefeller funded institutions?
- What are some of the cognitive limitations in forming beliefs?
- Who was John Dewey and how does his idea of pragmatism rule the world from the grave?
- What are some of the devastating consequences of adopting the ideals espoused by Progressive Education?
