0040 Given the tussle between the established players of the Department of Education<\/em> and the Secretary of the Same Department,<\/em> I wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any other tussles going on?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After all, this rhetorical game of element substitution for the interscope of BG(il)L education <\/em>can also be played by factions within the Department of Education itself<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0043 The Department of Education’s BG(il)L perspective<\/em> serves the interests of a central government<\/em> attempting to manage individual ambitions<\/em> by providing pathways to specializations2b<\/sub>, hence jobs1b<\/sub>, through certification2a<\/sub><\/em>.  The central government<\/em> engages in cultural selection3b<\/sub><\/em> (in the specializations that they regulate) and individual selection3b<\/sub><\/em> (in that individuals exercise automony1a<\/sub> in their alignment with BG(il)L incentives1a<\/sub> towards certification2a<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0044 So, what happens if factions within the central government<\/em> desire more?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What if a faction desires to manage the individual itself?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How weird can BG3c<\/sub>(il)L1c<\/sub> get?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0045 Well, I already know that, in some universities in the West, social constructivism replaces all fields of inquiry that presume that humans encounter mind-independent realities<\/em> (including the reality of others’ mind-dependent beings, both past and present<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, social constructivism<\/em> replaces the potential of truth<\/em> with the potential of the human will<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, something like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0046 See Looking at Sad Gaad’s Book (2020) Parasitic Mind,<\/em> at Razie Mah’s blog, running in April 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do individuals socially construct?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My identity becomes my job1b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group that I identify with<\/em> becomes my specialization2b<\/sub><\/em>.  Another word for specialization is “lifestyle2b<\/sub>“.  What are your chosen pronouns?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual and cultural selection3b<\/sub> then morphs into group-identity… er… lifestyle selection3b<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0047 Here is a picture of the substitutions on the situation level<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0048 For the perspective level, BG(il)L interventions3c<\/sub> replace big government3c<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These interventions3c<\/sub> select in favor of some lifestyles3b<\/sub> (take a guess, I bet that none of the guesses describe Betsy DeVos) and against other lifestyles3b<\/sub> (take a guess, I bet that many of the guesses apply to Betsy DeVos).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, a whole new suite of expertise<\/em> is demanded.  This expertise2c<\/sub> is capable of explaining BG(il)L perspective-level interventions3c<\/sub><\/em> in terms of social justice, critical theory and social constructivism.  Interventional expertise2c<\/sub><\/em> emerges from (and situates) the potential of ‘certainty’1c<\/sub><\/em>.  In turn, certainty1c<\/sub><\/em> virtually contextualizes identity1b<\/sub><\/em>.  Plus, identity1b<\/sub><\/em>virtually situates the personal choice that one is groomed for1a<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0049 Here is how\u00a0the “woke” faction of the Department of Education<\/em>\u00a0alters the three-level interscope of BG(il)L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
