The lessons you learn. The observations you make.
The connections you develop, and the discussions you engage in.
The connections you develop, and the discussions you engage in.

YES & NO.
Can new ideas emerge from old patterns of thought?
YES & NO.
Yes- The history of our collective past, the information that has been accepted as true and important,
the lessons of forgotten thinkers and their thoughts can add to our store of knowledge.
But- The historical patterns of educational philosophy only get us so far. The dominant models of higher learning are bound by tradition and institutional dogma. While study for knowledge sake, to gain understanding and insight is not essential in the world the dogma has created. New ideas and concepts are rewarded when they advance breakthroughs in profitability, but marginalized when creative thinking leads to radical solutions.
While it is clear that a transcendence of the common is required for global survival, the models of the past remain.
Any hope of a positive future depends on breaking the mold of behavior that has led us to the edge of chaos.
De-schooling, Re-schooling, New schooling is necessary.
