I think under a more free government/corporate social structure, there'd be quite a lot less brainwashing in schools, and more learning, due to the sudden free-market aspect of schools being required to actually teach useful things, and not being able to simply force children to listen and obey.
Think libertarianism, anarchy, minarchy, or other concepts that require less law, less force, less manipulation, in order to still have a peaceful, decent society. These ideas are all explained, and if researched without bias, one would find that less government is not actually bad.
It is propaganda that would tell you that less government or less control is bad, of course.
People would have vastly more choices as far as what gets taught, and would actually be able to choose which classes and skills a person should learn, seeing as they'd have to pay for it, rather than being pressured to accept a "free gift".
Instead of 12 years of what is essentially social programming and a few classes that teach the most surface aspects of a useful skill, it would be learning only useful things, provided the market doesn't fail to select for schools that actually teach information that is good, true, and useful. This sort of society would take a bit more of an enlightened mass of people to actually succeed, so this truly does rely on people being able to make good decisions, rather than just mindlessly obey.
However, it would mean that people would become more educated to have more skills, and thus able to do better quality work for themselves and others.
You would be earning more money and creating more value for yourself and others if you had more skills, but instead of being seriously skilled to the maximum of your potential, how much time do you waste not knowing how to do things that would make your life and job easier? For example, can you write a computer programming script to make a repetitive job easier? Can just anyone? Or is this a thing you should've been taught how to do in school when you were a kid?
You might be a bit older than me, hypothetical reader, but even so, it's not as if most young people know how to use computers to their full power either. And if not computers, then it's repairing their car, or their household appliances, or even just understanding how to invent a useful new product, and then market it effectively.
If each person was skilled with scientific invention, as well as computer programming, then the things we're using right now, such as the computer you're at, would be vastly more accessible. I mean, if you think computers are useful now, imagine being able to build them, and then program a tool you 3D-printed to assist you in doing whatever it is you'd like to do.
I'm talkin' about robots. Simple, useful ones, to save you time, money, energy, allowing you to better enjoy your life in an age of technology and abundance.
As it is, isn't a lot of work obedience-for-money corporate servitude, rather than performing truly useful jobs that need to get done to maintain a healthy, advancing society?
In a technological age, it really can't be denied that we no longer live like feral animals in little huts.
We are far beyond that, and we shouldn't play a game of slavery or servitude towards people with vast fortunes or political/social power, when the truth is that we should simply have more intelligence and skills per-person, in such a manner as to have a surplus of value, but a lack of taxation-type-leeching.
Thus each person should have vastly more personal power, autonomy, as well as money, enabling you to get your healthcare needs taken care of, as well as far, far more. We are long past the age of needing to force people to obey us. We no longer need to be told what to do.
Instead, we should focus on completing important work, and ensuring that our lives are filled with enjoyment and happiness. We don't need to live as feral animals anymore, and suffer our entire lives, only to be manipulated with propaganda. We need to rise above this, and it starts with you.
You need to speak out, and demand that people who have the power to control others stop controlling others, and get real jobs instead. It must be done. Police, military, politicians, and financial schemers who don't actually contribute real work need to pack up and get a real job. Put down your gun or spreadsheets, and pick up a tool, and get working on serious stuff.
There is a glorious future to build.
