Dr. Daniels is a treasure and, speaking as an American, not just a national one. I think it is becoming increasingly clear that what he described also is not a national but a Western state of affairs that cannot continue. Absolutely nothing works as it should or once did, and I know it once did because I was present when it did. And people, that is, human beings, seem to be more of a nuisance to the system than the purpose the system exists. Many people are now asking, why does such a system exist since it no longer serves the purpose for which it was intended?

Regarding arithmetic: a few years ago I was informally teaching two ladies arithmetic to help them with their job prospects. Regarding the uphill struggle, one day I lamented to several degree educated colleagues ranging from mid 40s to late 50 that the said ladies didn't know their times tables so wouldn't even know what six times nine is. I was met by absolutely blank looks; these degree holders didn't know either. They went to school decades ago, in the same era as myself. It's been a problem for a long time.

@@user-tg9nn4nn9h I've worked with young adults who are not inherently low in IQ who can't even add and subtract small integers. They can't estimate values and can't tell if a calculation (on their calculator) is in the right ballpark (so don't realise they've miss-keyed something), they have no feel for numbers at all. They have no feel for numbers whatsoever. Neither can they write coherently or formally, for instance composing emails to customers. It feels to me like those who have numeracy have so because of private interests such as an interest in computer programming. Like you, I learned my times tables at primary school. It was an "old fashioned" school run by a cadre of stern women who would e.g. just point at you and tell you to stand up and recite a particular table. Good spelling and learning a vocabulary was considered a baseline. Looking at the modern state of things, it's hard to think of a greater failing of an "education system".

Anyone who hasn't had the good fortune to have read "Life At The Bottom" can easily remedy that, and I can only heartily encourage you to do so. The bluntness and clarity of Dalrymple's observations are bracing and saddening. Yet to ignore or downplay his comments is to ignore our current situation, and that is the saddest of all. The other value of his writing is a sharp reminder of the effect of a good education on a good mind, as evidenced by his varied and rich prose which is a delight to read yet can be challenging and that that's a good thing. We are also reminded that the loss of the opportunity of a good education at the individual level is a loss for us all.

"The multiplication of independent administrative authorities which come to make themselves independent of politics and even to replace them in the name of an expertocracy that is judged superior." What the French author refers to there is what I understand to be the creeping technocracy and trend of scienceism. The root cause of the lack of pride and the replacement of work with activity isn't just ignorance, it's primarily hedonism, and immediate gratification. To 'unscramble the eggs' as Daniels puts it requires a generational cultural change in human behaviour, in organisational management, and in less cynicism about power. There's so much I could go into regarding his talk, and if I had the opportunity, I'd have liked to have followed it up with an off-the-cuff speech of my own.

"Let not England forget her PRECEDENCE of teaching Nations HOW to live" (Milton) [true, of course, while Israel, future "chief of nations," resists the Gospel of "Everlasting Salvation," of their own New/renewed Covenant - Is 2:2-4; 45:17-25; Jer 31:31-36; Jn 4:22; Heb 8:8-12] Let us not forget the irrefutable truth that that Precedence was born of the Gospel, the ultimate sanction against tyranny, and guarantee of one's birthright to the wisdom of Nationhood and holy Patriotism, according to the pattern which Israel repesents (Nu 23:9; Deut 33:25-29; Jer 31:7,10,17,31-36; Amos 9:15; Acts 17:26-31) For "There'll Always be an England" IF "we'll not cease from mental fight/Nor our swords sleep in our hands/till we've built Jerusalem (i.e. redeemed the faith's foundations, and the virtue of our culture, noble institutions and values, being ravaged by human philosophy, relativism and Philistinism)/In England's green and pleasant Land" (Blake) to truly BE "Mother of the free" (A C Benson) to fulfil "the charter, the charter of the Land" which "at Heaven's command Arose from out the azure main/When guardian angels sang the strain/'Britons never, never, never shall be slaves' " (Mallett: Alfred) For was "the Holy Lamb of God" not the Blood that "made us free" from slavery to sin (Rom 6:18-23; 8:3), for freedom purchased in that Blood to be MAINTAINED BY LOVE FOR TRUTH, by walking in His footsteps, to be ALL we were called to be, and beyond reproach? (Jn 8:31-36; 1 Cor 4:7; Eph 3:14-21; Col 1:21-23; 2:6; 1 Jn 2:3-6) Only by so doing shall "Wider still and wider/Shall our bounds be set (by)/God Who made us mighty (to)/Make us mightier yet" (A C Benson) to find greatness again in new ways and dimensions, through the humility of trust in and obedience to the Gospel, through the cleansing of the nation from its sin (Prov 14:34; Is 53:6-12; 1 Jn 3:1-10), to prosper in righteousness through "the Blood a Hero Sire (the Heroic faith of the Lamb of God - Matt 26:39-46) hath spent/to nerve (inspire and strengthen the endeavours of) hero sons" (A C Benson) So "never, never, never" underestimate the mercy of the GIFT OF BREXIT, as the highway for RIGHTEOUS CONSERVATISM to CHART what our God-breathed CHARTER and inspired national and patriotic anthems prophesy as a necessary (for the world) and entirely feasible future for our unique island kingdom-nation "For the whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were (deemed) invaluable at first, but DEADLY afterwards (inevitably fanned by pluralism, whereas) strong (timeless, tried and proven) beliefs (grounded in "inherited creed" and "fixed traditional sentiments" upon which human nature depends to attain the Divine character) win strong men, and then make them stronger" (Bagelot) As "the Ransom for ALL" (Mk 10:43-45; 1 Tim 2:1-6), the true salvation of MANKIND which is found in union with Jesus the Messiah through the Gospel of grace, is the ONLY filter through which we are able to recognize our desperate need of salvation FROM DEFINITIONS and expectations of ORDINARILY BENIGN concepts like equality, diversity and inclusivity (whose etymology is Biblical), now TWISTED into a deranged triumvirate of contorted rogue ideologies. Ideologies well described by borrowing Pope's satiric, aphoristic 'COMMONWEALTH of MALIGNANTS,' being used to vilify conservatism's COURAGEOUS CONSERVATION of a deeply rooted, holistic culture of truisms, being rocked by the bedevilling of reason and logic which is threatening to irreversibly damage the national psyche and erode the pillars of state, the once collective will of the nation that broadly knowing right from wrong, repressed every ill-wind blowing in from other, lesser-schooled, less literary and less astutely constituted lands. So again, "Let not England forget her PRECEDENCE of teaching Nations HOW to live" Britain's heritage and legacy are both contained in those words. Then and only then, will the future hold great promise. For as Byron warned: "A thousand years scarce serve to form a state; an HOUR may lay it in the dust" Don't let THAT hour overtake a deceived, slumbering nation
