The modern education system produces workers and thinkers trained to see reality as a machine, ignoring the inherent limitations of such thinking. By repeated use, mechanistic thinking has destroyed organismic thinking, in which we describe reality as different kinds of simple and complex organisms, and which overcomes the limitations of mechanistic thinking. An alternative education system that challenges mechanistic thinking and inculcates organismic thinking is essential to overcome the limits of mechanistic thinking and reinstate the truth.
