Key Notes
Jiang says schools often function as institutions that blind people to their telos and unravel the soul rather than helping them fulfill their purpose.
Jiang says he can devote more energy to Substack now that he has left the school.
He says autistic children are often treated as problems because limited emotional regulation and classroom noise are medicalized instead of being met with patience or love.
Jiang says parents, schools, and society often block people from knowing or pursuing their purpose, but those obstacles are themselves part of the soul's developmental path.
The best student and worst student are both likely to succeed for opposite reasons, but the worst student's adaptation, hard work, relationships, and team-building make him especially powerful.
The second parenting difference is authority style: rich parents explain mistakes and treat the child as respected, while poor parents use threats and commands that teach fear of adults.
He says school is supposed to train students for social function and creativity through literacy, core competencies, and lifelong learning.
