Peter Wedderburn-Ogilvy

This thought-provoking book challenges the traditional education and examination systems, ‎highlighting the dominance of memory-focused Neanderthal-like characteristics over the ‎problem-solving abilities of Homo Sapiens. It calls for a fundamental shift in our approach to ‎education and selection, emphasizing the need for proactive, problem-solving minds to address ‎the complex challenges of our modern world. This insightful book delves into the fundamental ‎motivations driving human behavior, emphasizing the pursuit of self-interest. It draws parallels ‎with the animal kingdom and evolution, challenging traditional religious beliefs in favor of a ‎more adaptable and rational approach. The text urges religious leaders to reconsider their ‎teachings in light of scientific evidence. This book expresses strong criticism of the state of ‎education in the UK, particularly focusing on the perceived shortcomings of state schools and the ‎influence of socialist policies. It laments the decline in standards, discipline, and competitiveness ‎among students, and it argues that political correctness and misguided ideology have contributed ‎to these issues. The author emphasizes the importance of responsibility, competitiveness, and ‎respect in education to prepare children for success in the real world.‎
