We have become a nation of ‘conformists’ aka ‘followers’. Children are taught that to succeed they must attend institutions of higher learning.
Creative thinking is not taught in colleges or universities...it is suppressed. Average students cannot overcome the intense indoctrination and brainwashing practiced by liberal professors - if they want a passing grade.
Most college graduates are competent at accumulating a ‘set of facts’ and matching that knowledge to exams. It ain’t science...it’s human nature. The path of least resistence.
We have become a nation of followers not innovators.
sad
a.)there are no consequences to espousing any kind of hyper-theoretical idea. Or if there is they don’t have to live with it
b.) it’s fashionable to be ‘intelligent’ and say leftist things.
I think being a social snob pretty well trumps the first but I am not sure.
Kids love to think of themselves as part of an elite, as better than other people and leftist thought does that for them, so far.
