Problem-posing education does not and cannot serve the interests of the oppressor. No oppressive order could permit the oppressed to begin to question: Why?
Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in “changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them”; for the more the oppressed can be led to adapt to that situation, the more easily they can be dominated.
Implicit in the banking concept [of education] is the assumption of a dichotomy between human beings and the world: a person is merely in the world, not with the world or with others…In this view, the person is not a conscious being (corpo consciente); he or she is rather the possessor of a consciousness: an empty “mind” passively open to the reception of deposits of reality from the world outside.

you'd need scifi technomagic to actually clean up all the microplastics and shit. I don't really understand what you expect future people to do that you'd have conscripted into cleaning up a mess made before they were born.

diminishing returns on resources and effort put into environmental cleanup is hardly "positive improvement is impossible".
we can clean up a lot, certainly more than capitalists ever would but
is a ridiculous proposition even with global communism, and saddling future generations with our problems seems like a shitty thing to do to them.
