A Russian psychologist tested a "non-literate" from East of the Ural mountains about 1929, not an illiterate where other people read, but a member of a group where literacy was unknown because of primitive living conditions. The shrink found that the answer to "are you a good person?" was, not to say what he did that was individually good, but that his social group considered him well integrated.
(Using a conventional intelligence test like we've all taken, with 4 objects, "crowbar" (all metal), "hammer" [wood handled], "saw" [wood handled] and "piece of wood"-- where of us who have gone thru schooling would associate the tools [crowbar, hammer & saw], the East Urals man associated the objects with wood [hammer, saw & wood] separately from the all-metal object.)
THE ORIGINAL SOCIABILITY of non-literates shows the transparency of the lie of secular humanists (who substituted belief in God with the perfectibility of man without God), that their secret dumbing-down of education since at latest 1880 (but really much earlier) was to designed produce social cooperation, that the standard 3Rs of self-education (vs. schooling) were unnecessary.
(The goal in Prussia was to produce soldiers and factory workers who wouldn't question orders. The goal in New York was to force self-employed and self-educated dirt farmers, small craftsmen & entrepreneurs into the money economy where they would become consumers of manufactured goods they didn't need, didn't want and couldn't afford.)
Non-literate populations (vs. our illiterates) already had good social cohesion back into the dawn of history. Abe Lincoln studying books by fire or candle light, then going to work when he was 9, did not make him unsociable.
I tried for several years to get the goods on John Dewey deliberately dumbing down education for the past 125 years. I studied John Taylor Gatto, who has numerous great videos showing how schooling hurts kids.
But I finally found the real goods in a 1993 book title "The Leipzig Connection" by Paolo Lioni, tipped off by Mr. Gatto. It shows how the dark science of behavioral psychology was weaponized against our kids.
Search "Leipzig Connection pdf" to read it online.
So did Dewey.
What's meant by "social cooperation"? Is obeying stop signs an example of "social cooperation"?
Ping. May be of interest.
Link for The Leipzig Connection. Lots of download format choices.

Thank you.
Agree here. the socialist commmunist project was well underway in the USA when the Frankfurt School communists arrived.
“Boom” as Amazing Polly would say.
Nonsense. Wundt established a lab in 1879 to study mental processes, had nothing to do with behavioral psychology, which doesn’t emerge until John B Watson’s paper in 1913.. Virtually no connection between the two. This appears to be a socialist bogeyman story with no basis in reality, by some one who doesn’t know history.
I looked through some of the provided (and not provided material) but it is not clear to me what if anything Dewey has to do with Wundt, other than spacial “similarities”.
Is it not possible that two different men can come up with the same idea on their own? I think it is.
That’s not to say that Dewey wasn’t influenced by Eurotrash. George Sylvester Morris was a Hegelian professor at Johns Hopkins, whom it is well established that Dewey was fond of. The two met when Dewey was a student of Morris’ while he attended Hopkins.

Dewey was a technocrat. A huge enemy of Dewey’s philosophy was Jose Vasconcelos philosopher and educator in Mexico.
