Fantasist Prepper?

[Mortblanc]

In a world dominated by information transfer by electronics, and coming out of a 500 year period where the basic transfer was by book, it is difficult for many people to understand that the basic survival skills used by humans to stay alive for 200,000 years (some say longer) was done face to face, knee to knee, with the experienced teacher showing the learner exactly what to do by word and example.

We reinforce the problem by viewing education only by what came from the books and how well one tests out on the knowledge in the books.

It is a very short step from that action to deciding that as long as one has the books he has the knowledge, and therefore, the ability.

Real permeates all of life, even during "normalcy". Ask any business owner if he has hired certified, licensed, degreed people that didn't know squat.
