Highlander-style peer education shifts activists’ worldview only through indirect experiential methods, not direct assertion.

Evidence

The “banking” concept of education as an instrument of oppression—its presuppositions—a critique; the problem-posing concept of education as an instrument for liberation—its presuppositions; the “banking” concept and the teacher-student contradiction; the problem-posing concept and the supersedence of the teacher-student contradiction; education: a mutual process, world-mediated; people as uncompleted beings, conscious of their incompletion, and their attempt to be more fully human. — Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 5 (#corroborates, via linked claim)

You have to be very careful not to get into that know-it-all role. In order for an argument to fit, I have to understand the life and way of thinking of my counterpart, even if it is irrational. What makes this person tick? I have to hook into the worldview that people have, not start with mine. — Holm Gero Hümmler, Ulrike Schiesser, Fact and Prejudice, 416 (#expands, via linked claim)
