In this sixth installment on the series on education, Dr Koontz and Rev Fisk talk about "socialization", among other topics surrounding the decision of "how do I want my kids to be raised?" They lay out more reasons why institutional education breeds apathy and the inability to create friendships. In their usual fashion, the free-range conversation covers Harold Innis' media ecology, the dearth of male friendship, the role of moms in activism and ways to future-proof your tribe.
