I hold the view that paradigm shifts, which used to have a minimum time-line of a few generations now take a matter of weeks or even days to become globally distributed. The truisms of today are now the absurdities of next week!

This is due to the instant dissemination of new information on a particular subject to any interested person almost immediately. This is due to the advancement of technology to the point that instant communication across all humanity is now a normal part of everyday life.

Also, that this advancement of technology has made the efforts of previous exponents obsolete; undermining the established order of the educational hierarchy. This further exacerbates the dichotomy of the views of the established experts and the new frontier of knowledge.

There are now very many new fields of knowledge that purport to be a far better fit for the observational evidence available that they, with their new technologies, have discerned and experimentally verified. The old hierarchy refuse to acknowledge or engage with this new knowledge stream.

As this new knowledge stream leads to further new engineered technologies and the certainty of the inaccuracy, impotence, deceptiveness and intransigence of the old hierarchy becomes undeniable; will this end the entire edifice of hierarchical structures of education?
