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?
