It's easier to indoctrinate the uneducated.
Foxy,
Not being educated blesses many with common sense. Being educated denies common sense.

Common Sense is just a set of bias's you accululate by the time you are eighteen.

But some 'dumb as' people resent anyone with more "book learnin" than them. That's you.

"It's easier to indoctrinate the uneducated."

I thought university was supposed to be about teaching people how to think critically for themselves.

Its seems from your description it's becoming more of a religious institution.
'You must accept this passage of scripture is correct, because that other passage of scripture says so!'

Good education is designed to teach you how
to seek out knowledge on your own. It teaches
you to think and the better you're able to think
on your own, you'll be less prone to have people
put their thoughts into your head.

Poor education does not teach you to think. You
can have a PhD and still be a gullible idiot.
It's not the quantity of education but the quality
that matters.

Education can help individual's develop critical
thinking skills and the ability to evaluate
information. However we need to remain vigilant
against manipulation and indoctrination
regardless of our educational background.

Foxy,
Yes, that's how it is supposed to be. Sadly, it isn't like that now as the rise of the Left clearly demonstrates.

Indyvidual,

The rise of the Left?

There's also the rise of the Rights and the rise of
the Greens, and the rise of the Teals, and then
the rise of the "don't cares," and so it goes.
Casting blame on others really doesn't achieve
anything productive. It only causes more division
and the band continues to play on.

Lets be responsible for our own actions instead of
casting blame on others.

Or at least give it a go and see what happens. The old
tactics of finger-pointing no longer work.

The rise of the Left?
Foxy,
Well, where does most of the nonsense plaguing society come from ?
