Privacy 2.0



     
     In todays world privacy may be a thing of past. Due the complexity of cell phones and they're wondrous capabilities, we as citizens may have unknowingly handed over our right of privacy. The USAs National Security Agency (NSA) has been basically Illegally spying on its own citizens for well for over a decade now. 

     Thankfully a former NSA agent named Edward Snowden defected from the NSA and stole hundreds of thousands top secret NSA documents that proved all the violations/laws they where breaking when it comes to the right of privacy of every American Citizen. This was a crippling bombshell to the government agency as this shed light of what they where truly doing, versus what they supposed to be doing. This kind of surveillance is truly dangerous for any government agency to have. They could hack, track, listen, record, etc...basically every single thing you've ever down on a cell phone or computer, including all social media platforms such as Snap Chat, Twitter, and Facebook the NSA had untapped access to. Which most of us are aware that they have this kind of technology, however they law states that NSA must of have an approved court warrant that grants them access to invade your privacy. 

     The problem was the NSA went around the court and spied on people that haven't been suspected for any crimes. This is down right wrong and we are lucky Snowden for sacrificing his life so we could all be protected from unlawful surveillance that truly stripped our American right to privacy.

Well Informed 2.0 - Learning:


Mystery Education, the past and the Future?


     As we all know education today is outdated and is in dire need for reconstruction. We're no longer in the industrial revolution, we don't need factory workers anymore, jobs have changed, so why hasn't our education system down the same. 

  This had lead to a society that is lost and in desperate search for jobs that have been shipped off shore or replaced by technology. In this post I hoped to bring up the discussion on a possible solution that has already been used and proven both in ancient Egypt and Greece, its called "Mystery School". "The Mystery School cannot give you God or some universal absolute. It does not promise Nirvana or even transformation. Mystery School will not tell you what to believe. Rather, it will provoke and excite into awakening your deepest truth. Initiations and rites of passage open gateways out of normal states of awareness, revealing new views of yourself and all you once labeled as “real." You will touch a Universal Truth not as something out there, but rather as near as your own heart. 

     A wisdom more honest than thought or idea emerges through your own uncensored experiences." According to Nine Gates Mystery School. Although this type of education may not fly in todays conforming society, I can't help but feel like this would greatly increase the learning experience for each and every individual. While bringing the out best in people and removing the ceiling that been holding Americans back for decades.
