Dear Simon,
Thank you for inviting me to your King’s Birthday BBQ! As Donald Horne’s key message of The Lucky Country, “Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second-rate people who share its luck.” We, as an Australian Monarchist and an Australian Republican, would not put ourselves in that boat of the 1965 public discourse. Like many Australians, we assume that we have escaped of the past. Oh, that it was so.
There is progress in that Australian modernity, of which Horne played a significant role in the narrative development, has both Australian good versions. Monarchism and Republicanism has escaped, at least, the worst of other worldly forms: the worst of British smugness and American arrogance in political form. The educated Australians can civically discuss the spiral history of Anglo-American-Australasian ideals and nonsense, without the horrible Australian derivativeness, colonial-mindedness, and cultural cringe (Cropp 2023: 224). Unfortunately, the vast majority of Australians are extremely uneducated when it comes to history, sociology, philosophy, and education. Australian universities had killed intellectual history courses and squeezed out the researchers from the system (a general statement, and thus a general truth).
It is for this reason Horne, in the late 1970s, argued for the future in the elite model. A re-constitution for Australia, democratically elected, small directive, governance (232). I myself prefer, from the same era, the New Left’s horizontal, participatory structure; (232) that is the historical background to my Level Playing Field Thesis. As my colleague, Dr Neil Peach, argues: Participation is the key for politics to work in favour of the goals of humanity. We must participate in the Humanist Project with the most inclusiveness to our understanding of humanity and persons.
Thus there is a general and a particular narrative here: global political systems and Australian aspirations for a better life. Working the two together, requires education, the education of intellectual histories and cognition sociology lost to, and from, the universities. It is the story of Donald Horne’s republican battle in the light of “The Dismissal”; to use a double meaning that includes the anti-epistemological political response, and as told in Ryan Cropp’s chapter, “Shock Therapy” (212-233). My argument is that the spiral of Australian history has returned, in new form, back to that moment. At the end of the chapter, Cropp stated, “The System that had produced the prosperity of the post-war years now appeared to have broken down.” (232) We are now in the parallel moment, as the end of the Neo-Liberal Economy. Whether Harris’ ‘Opportunity Economy‘ will emerge and what come from it, I dare not say.
However, what needs to happen, irrespective of the calculating mindset of the economically obsessed, is a re-constitution of Australian politics. Would it not be creative, innovative, and intellectually harmonious if Australia could take particular features of the two global models, to create a new Australian political landscape, one that was inclusive of both educational elitism — meaning that unless you are educated on the educated themed topics, your comments is “talking out of your ass”, and democratic level playing field model — meaning a severe backlash against political corruption at all levels of governance. Yes, like the Cromwellian Commonwealth, it IS (and was) a negative spiral, as a republican model, but the spiral history appears to me necessarily overreactive: the challenge and response thesis on steroids. The War in Gaza and Lebanon, a case in hand; which by the way, is no justification for the war as a sound argument — we also make choices not to be captive to historicism while declaring its truth.
The idiot academics will dismiss my argument as Dr Frankenstein creating the multi-part monster. But through many better epistemic arguments, they are the losers as grossly poor thinkers; Horne’s now luckless second-rate people. Knowledge is finally comprehensive.
I look forward to your monarchial BBQ, and your good counsel.
Kind regards,
the “Cromwellian Roundhead”

Other On This Day days in history
by Neville Buch | Sep 8, 2022 | Article, Blog, Concepts in Educationalist Thought Series, Concepts in Public History for Marketplace Dialogue
Is ‘Schooling’ Education?
Or is it behaviour modification, and is it that necessarily a bad thing?
What I am suggesting is that the problem is not so much around the institutional commitment to modify behaviour for socialisation, but much, much, more that ‘schooling’ fails to produce comprehension in the educational needs and “outcomes.” Schooling has become performance, and, more exactly, performance measures, and much too often not true educational outcomes that each individual would consider important for their life values and career performance. This model(s) will continue to fail as long as governments, the markets, and the public echo chamber obsess with skills and job entry, rather than careers and true educative “outcomes.”
After a few millennials in the philosophy of education, since Aristotle, it is maddening that the political and bureaucratic dumb idols (idiots) cannot recognise this basic truth. A flourishing life is in lifelong learning (education), and never in a model of economic recovery or growth.
Unfortunately, the academic literature struggles to get to the point, but nevertheless, the scholarship constantly makes the point that 1) educational needs and outcomes are personal, 2) that policy needs to reflect that personalism (inclusively), and 3) the current ‘school’ models do not ‘perform’ in this way.
In 2015 Emily Milne and Janice Aurini calls for ‘discretionary spaces’ for parental involvement in ‘school policy’, but it raises questions, in the way Ivan Illich once raised the issue, whether being school policy that persons as parents or members of the community have ownership in the policy, or whether it is just another school performance measure.
There is a failure in policy-formulation to think critically in the philosophical terms of mission and purpose, always succumbing to the technological agenda. This is something Edward Rozycki thought about in 2015, in an article called “Mission and Vision in Education”. He wonderfully points out the ‘crap’ in ‘Vision statements’, ‘Mission statements’, and ‘Goal statements’. Rozycki calls it, “GIGO – garbage in, garbage out.” Here is the critical point of the personalism. If a student, as a person, is not enculturated with the autonomy of their own passions, education is impossible. Learning only sticks when there are passions to bind.
Mamphela Ramphele wonderfully brings this together in yet-another 2015 article, entitled, “Meaning and Mission”. The article starts with a quote from Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning (1946):
“Everyone has his own special vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he [her/them?] cannot be replaced, nor can his [hers/theirs?] life be replaced, nor can his [hers/theirs?] life be repeated. Thus, everyone’s task is unique as is his [hers/theirs?] special opportunities to implement it.”
It is, as Mamphela Ramphele says, “the core of the pursuit of learning.” In a much earlier article Rozycki (1994) demonstrated the limits of schooling to perform in this way. Rozycki does not mince words, but offers plain-speaking. He said that if a person does not appreciate the function-mission distinction, you probably “have your canine anatomy all mixed up.” A reference to the very bad policy tail wagging the public educational dog. It is not a matter of being ‘dog brain’ but that there is an obsessive desire coming in the rear. Read this as ‘dirty’ as you like! Politeness, it seems, does not get the full attention of politicians and bureaucrats; when do they truly listen to the quiet scholarship?
There is much more literature that points to the same critiques of government and corporate gross misunderstanding of education. Elliot W. Eisner (1980) explained the relationships between artistic thinking, human intelligence and his understanding of mission of the school. The mission is a noble one, but, rooted in ancient classical philosophy, it is extremely difficult to see how modern schooling can deliver. Much of the philosophy of education literature points out that school missions are about socialisation (e.g., Thomas Bellamy and John Goodlad 2008, Nadine M. Finigan-Carr and Wendy E. Shaia 2018). And yet-again found in a 2015 article (results from an ad hoc JSTOR search), Linda A. Renzulli, Ashley B. Barr, and Maria Paino draws out the tensions between ‘specialist mimicry’ and ‘generalist assimilation’ through an examination of specialist charter school mission statements as “one indicator of innovation.” The article clearly infers – even as it was not the empirical intention of the research – that charter schools have succumb to the technological agenda (‘specialist mimicry’), and that “to foster innovation through specialisation”, at this obsessive level, destroys balanced ‘generalist assimilation’, and thus destroys education in Aristotelian terms (‘a flourishing life’).
This is why schooling fails as education. It is not per se behavioural modification for socialisation; that is merely a symptom of the technological agenda – the tail wagging the dog. Schooling fails because it is not addressing the personal needs nor the personal educative outcomes. The School addresses the mission of the school, an institution, and not a community of persons. The tail wags the dog. When will we stop this idiocy of this manufactured consent?
