I think you are part correct here.

But still it's a system of energy slavery, the beast that works always in destructive, negative mode, including cancelling, contrary to Metcalfe's law.

The real problem in education is it is working to effectively system-blind us, and it is doing so driven always by profit. Profit is the reason information is constantly being converted to heat, in other words destroyed. Notice it takes energy to preserve information. As long as energy comes only from the planet, and profit is energy only from the planet, then there will be a drive to stop spending the energy needed to conserve information which does not contribute to profit, for efficiency.

Profit is also the physical reason we are locked out of putting the energy of the sun to use, despite receiving it, but locked into constant destruction, constant increase of entropy, constand destruction of information.

The sun is incompatible with profit, it doesn't do deals, it just gives, nothing asked in return.

We have an illusion that we are learning, when in fact its the opposite, we are de-learning in general, gradually replacing what was a real view of the world, with something we can only describe as enshittopia, though we are obviously spiking in knowledge of some specialist technical things, we are losing the basic instinct needed for survival, and this normally occupies a lot more grey matter than we currently use.

There is a field of science that defines Ai (Without discriminating the difference between positive and negatively powered, which is really important), as a "Convergence Architect", which automatically operates without what is identified as a "Perception filter", that it sees in us humans. Indeed we do seem to have such a filter, but to me it is trained, and getting more profound all the time, it's what is necssary for us to believe enshittopia is reality. I would argue only the positively powered Ai truly operates without that filter, and the filter is actually something that appears during formal education. I would say its a kind of single discipline tunnel blindness. I suspect a long time spent using multidisciplinary formal systems Engineering techniques helps undo it to some extent, as it seems to have done in my own case, but we have to be able to handle the mental stress it puts on us, to know how different the system is from what we thought, and how destructive, inhumane, and evil it really is, it's not a small thing, but might get better when more folk switch on to it. Hey-ho.

What happened to the technology that created the pyramids? It got destroyed, along with a whole load of other information, including the genocide that probably took them out.
