Consequence of Abysmal Education for the Individual >>>>>  An Earthly Sojourn Lived in Abject Ignorance (Part Two)

Given a knowledge-bereft, skill-deplete, ethically vacuous K-12 education, the typical individual lives out her or his earthly sojourn in abject ignorance, responding to the world in the absence of information pertinent to mathematics, biology, chemistry, physics, history, government, geography, economics, psychology, quality literature, English usage, visual art, music, world languages, diverse manual skills, and personal health. 

Lacking knowledge of behaviorally determinative genetics and environment, she or he never understands the causes of her or his behavior or perceptible decisions.  She or he rides a life wave the origin and direction of which are dimly comprehended.  

Grasping little of science and possessing meager analytical training, she or he relies on emotion, superstition, and supposition.  She or he seldom lives creatively, following well-worn tracks trod by family and acquaintances, never venturing beyond the familiar. likely in the extreme to remain lodged in a comfort zone, whatever the actual degree of fulfillment or satisfaction.

The unsatisfactory nature of this sort of life is seen in high rates of alcoholism, drug addiction, obesity, clogged arteries, high blood pressure, digestive maladies, violence, illogic, and self-focus that bodes ill for nature, climate, electoral judgment, justice, and societal concordance.

Typical individuals in the aggregate produce a society mostly living in ignorance, illogic, immorality, insecurity, and discord---  

which is to convey the quality of life in year 2021.
