The saddest thing to me is seeing people who agree with these sentiments, hate current popular culture, and put their kids in public schools.
Taking action is necessary - you don’t have to homeschool but there are plenty of alternative schools out there.
My husband and I prioritized finding remote work so we could move to wherever we believed was the best alternative school for our kids. At this time we can’t fully homeschool because we need the extra income. It took extra effort up front, but the long term benefits to our family health are priceless.
We also wanted remote work for its flexibility so we could maintain presence as mentioned on this article.
Excellent words of wisdom. I think the main things popular culture has going for it is, as you say, not the fun or the excitement or anything good but simple inertia and addiction. And the more full one's own life is the more unappealing the mainstream one is. And thank you for the book recommendation.
