Thomas Pochari's views on child brain development and formal schooling stem directly from his biological framework on human intelligence and his broader critique of traditional institutions.

1. Child Brain Development: The "25-Year Build-Out"

Pochari views the child and adolescent brain as an open, evolving biological network that requires roughly 25 years to fully configure:

• Long Developmental Window: Unlike most animals, human neuroanatomy undergoes two decades of post-natal structural development. During childhood and adolescence, the brain is continuously forming its internal "division of labor" and wiring neural pathways.

• Sleep as the Primary Configurator: Pochari argues that childhood sleep cycles—and the electrical activity generated during sleep—physically build consciousness and logic.

• Biological Scaffolding & Susceptibility: During this long developmental window, the juvenile brain actively seeks scaffolding to categorize its world. Because this window stays biologically open for so long, the young brain is highly susceptible to external influences—ranging from cultural/religious structures to digital overstimulation.

2. Critique of Schooling: "Destructive to the Brain"

Pochari strongly rejects traditional compulsory education, advocating instead for unschooling or home-based learning:

• Institutional Suppression: Pochari views formal schools as rigid, bureaucratic institutions that stifle natural curiosity, enforce conformity, and actively harm or miswire a child's developing brain.

• Obsolescence in "Phase 3" (The AI Era): Pochari asserts that humanity has entered a historical phase characterized by the externalization of cognition through artificial intelligence. In his view, having children sit in classrooms to memorize facts or practice rote tasks is obsolete, as search engines and algorithms handle lower-level memory and synthesis.

• Call to Abolish Schooling: In his manifestos on geopolitical and institutional restructuring, Pochari explicitly calls to "abolish schooling for children" entirely.

3. Alternative: Unschooling and AI-Guided Self-Education

Rather than standard classroom instruction, Pochari argues for an environment where children develop naturally:

• Unschooling: Directing one's own learning allows the child's brain to follow its innate biological drives and internal interests, preserving cognitive autonomy.

• Interacting with AI as the Substrate: In place of traditional teachers and rigid school curricula, Pochari envisions children learning directly by leveraging AI as an interactive tool to explore advanced knowledge at their own pace.

I have said this already in WAM, going many years back, but I suppose it is time to repeat myself. What I want to reemphasize is the lack of knowledge we have about most everything but particularly concerning our development, our early development. That's not to say that most people have doubts about what they know and what they do in life. They do not, they think we know a lot and that we are smart and that we are doing quite well. It's simply not true, obviously. We are failing in many respects and what we do now has very little "scientific" basis. I frankly do not think the "experts" have any idea what they are talking about. Their "knowledge" is quite ridiculous, it's almost useless and it might well even be damaging to us -- or rather, it is damaging to us. Very damaging.

I've had this impression since I was a very young man, but it is obviously very difficult to make a persuasive case for anything concerning "the human condition" or "human development" or "child development" when you are in your 20s. Society has "institutions" and these institutions become the church, the religion, and there is no real chance to challenge the church and church dogma. It does not matter at all whether you are right. The authorities will promote their dogma despite its obvious shortcomings and failures. Does it shock you that humankind required so much time to get to where we are now? It should not. Ignorance is what rules the world and you had better come to quickly appreciate that because that is the reality. Failing to recognize this reality may get you into a lot of difficulties.

I am quite certain that my "six elements" of child development are correct and that science and experience will prove me correct. This will take a while, of course, many many years. The elite, the authorities, will not accept that they are stupid or corrupt. They will do whatever they can to preserve their power and authority, even if this destroys the society and the interests of the people.

If we do appreciate how to fully exploit the first 20-25 years or so of child brain development we would make much more rapid progress in solving our problems and overcoming our challenges. This would be the most powerful science we would have and we would be astonished -- shocked -- at how important and valuable it is. I have expressed this thesis many times in WAM. As I have said, the United States is very very corrupt, even evil. I have explained the source of this problem over and over again in the past months and I really do not feel like outlining the situation once again. We will have to wait for the destruction of American society before we see any real knowledge and science come forward. Yes, it is a sad situation, but that is the situation the Ashkenazi Jews [euphemistically called "Zionist authorities"] impose on us.
