Nancy Lebovitz in reply to Robin Hanson:

A lot of the most effective propaganda from school is about the process of education, not the content.

In particular, conventional schooling teaches that you can’t tell for yourself whether you’ve learned something, your interest or lack of interest in learning something is irrelevant, and what you learn is irrelevant to anything you’re doing.

It’s teaching as though consciousness doesn’t matter.
