Why?
The world's best question. Let's go with that and see where it takes us. Unschooling can look like a rabbit-hole of deep dives and zeroed in focus. It can be answering "Why" all day. I can be creative riffs. So let's ask Why? and Why Not?
Why can't I have the answer?
(This is me talking to my imposter syndrome to create allowance for myself and share with anyone seeking a fresh perspective. )
For a long time I have struggled with knowing what I know. I've been criticized for having answers to questions others can't think up the way I do. Or as some say being too perfect or sounding rehearsed. I find many times having an answer brings people to anger. This anger response has led me to question my autonomy and seeded imposter syndrome in my expertise. I am now breaking out of that and trusting myself, my ancestral knowledge, my genetic memory and speaking up in a world that literally assigns paperwork to those who can "pay" for credentials and took over social engagement media to sensor and silence people with rage bait.
So yeah I have questions!
I want to ponder and discuss with you all. As an Indigenous Arawak Caribbean, Polymath, Non-binary, PDA, Unschooling, Deschooling, Life Long Learner: I have questioned the world to the point of the world clapping back with systems, rules and status quo for keeping up with the Jones'. I don't have all the answers, I can't. The problem space is to vast and perspectives are immense. But I, you, we can begin to self organize in a manner that makes sense to us by asking hard questions and pondering for a while.
This pondering I think can help us embody our cognition, embody our humanity and create space for "being" in a radical manner humanity has lost to schooling and indoctrinations of so called "how things are suppose to be".
