Stupid teenage ideas on how the world should be and what changes to start with

Introduction
This is from a page I found in an old notebook. Let’s just say I was unsatisfied with the life and world I saw around me. Likely circa 1978. I tried to record this verbatim from the handwritten text. Take from it what you will.
Present System Proper Training
Imperfect System doesn’t work properly but
- basics
- teach ability to learn
- teach limits of this society by reinforcement and punishment (neccessarily incomplete because of prior learning)
- punish all discovered deviants
- rehabilitate if possible
- if not possible remove from society permanently
- limits are never completely learned therefore contiually push old limits but allow new limits some room to grow
- New social order now takes over and teaches youth processes 1-5
New System Proper Training
- basics
- teach ability to learn
- Teach present limits of society but stress impermanence of these limits
- Place all deviants in positions profitable to
- present society
- change, for future society
- Teach futures especially ‘supposedly’ profitable deviants process of 1-4
Additional notes
This is hard for me because the system taught me to learn but not when to stop learning
