I could have titled the heading, “Anti Intellectual Donald Trump will blow up the world”. Yet I conclude Trump is a good actor.

Google “Anti-Intellectualism” to find there exists a movement to suppress intellectual thought.

The big concerns in the world are: 7.3 billion people living during one period; If there were no wars, no suicides, no road kill, no Adolf Hitler... there would be many more people living, needing to be fed, going forth and multiplying.

Anti-Intellectualism is about stopping human awareness from realising bad things happening was in the long term a good thing.
Anti-Intellectualism prevents people from realising: religion still dominates political processes and education; redirects discussing “Industrialisation” is about slowing world population growth.

Why do I say, “Anti-Intellectualism will blow up the world”, could be a good possibility. You only need to think how Adolf Hitler, had most all his generals believing his brand of Intellectualism “I know how to fix everything”.

Most people who dislike intellectual conversations, because topics read and spoken about, I say are intentionally redirecting real intelligent thought, on to irrelevant, go nowhere political processes and scandals. Everything sounds important to the democratic process, yet, a lack of people's real intellectual neuron pathway connection thought prompting, emotional feel good brains believe the re-directions are real concerns.

We live in a Monty Python world of turning trivial concerns into serious conversations. If any person mentions real concerns, no person wants to know.

If any person wants to find real intellectual readings, pretend intellectual readings become: personal; name dropping; short tit-bit meanings within rambling sentences; expensive thick books designed to punish readers curiosity.
Higher education's forced pretend intellectual readings.

Media panel conversations sound as though panellists have an understanding, yet use go nowhere criteria to dumb down curios people's intellectual awareness.

Media school funding supposedly meant to cure increasing poor academic learning, is simply “more money for more of the same” fogging off complainers.

Assuming you have read my previous posted link on school funding.

Easy to believe childhood education is important to children's ability to think. Yet, government school curriculum education is more mental stress repressing desires for individual intellectual thought.

Popular media programs guide what topics humans hear, including young curious emotional influenced self-programming children, most topics are about people: political people; entertainment people; interviewing fantasy science and finance people; violence and sex. What named people are doing generally has nothing to do with media listeners. Same topics being discussed, fade away in time, returning to be heard again.

The conceptual depth resulting from fast talking people, leaves listeners with few ideas worth remembering, worth repeating. There barely exists any single conceptual thought.

Exampling an understood concept: radio waves travel limited distances, depending on transmitted frequency and wattage power. Yet radio waves have degrading noise interference problems. Earth has a magnetic field. Earth magnetic field reduces the Sun's charged particle's noise levels. Charged particles outside earth's magnetic field would undoubtedly destroy low wattage, lower than 10 gigahertz radio waves. The higher frequencies are transmitted, the shorter distances radio waves will travel.

For the same reasons mentioned in posted link on education funding. Politicians have so much ridicule for people who can't think, who follow political stories and media fantasy science stories. Submarine leaks and space probes sending radio-wave pictures from Pluto, causes truly knowledgeable yet narcissistic people to enjoy a laugh at emotional decision makers (Neanderthals) expense.

Almost all “intelligent” young children and or teenagers would have played with radio-wave transmitters, and/or understand mobile phone range to phone towers. Opportunities to think how radio waves: hertz frequency, wattage power and noise levels, understanding earth's magnetic field, truly intelligent thinkers should soon realise a conceptual thought, realising media lies.

Unfortunately most educated adults, are trapped in their emotional self-programming stage of childhood, constantly feeling whether information is true or false, as though they were being classroom schooled. Never excepting previous judgements were incorrect, repressing fearful traumatic feelings.
I say intellectualism is about comparing ideas, being capable of arguing with empirical evidence.

I Googled “bad education”. Most website pages are about a movie and several television series. I speculate, the word curriculum in these media productions is never mentioned. I speculate, teachers are seen: lazy; alcoholic; misbehaving. Googled “bad education” page, page after page is consumed with promoting produced media entertainment.

All I could find within first 11 search pages of Googled “bad education” were 4 readings that were not media entertainment.
Google page 5
http://www.cnet.com/news/neil-degrasse-tyson-says-bad-education-creates-flat-earthers/

Google page 8
http://www.waterstones.com/book/bad-education-debunking-myths-in-education/philip-adey/justin-dillon/9780335246014

Be aware of false promotions, you may buy the above mentioned book then to read more vague ideas wearing down your sense of caring for real intellectual curiosity. The book may have been drafted and/or edited by an establishment controlled education system, headlining statements leading to little more than redirecting names and dates, vague analysis.

I stopped searching at search page 11. Other than 2 websites promoting books. One website, U.S.A. state vote NO for removing funding.

I Googled “terrible education system”. Much of what can be read, points out declining standards using far away countries, not so much using Australian schools in different districts. Comparing statistics with other countries merely does a “transparency” allusion. Establishment controlled media agrees with complaining parents, yet government and serious media panellists blames inadequate funding... failing that excuse, moves on to blaming teachers' teaching abilities.

The real problem with classroom education is the curriculum and too younger emotionally self-programming children attending school for too many days for too longer hours each day, held in classrooms.

The curriculum: maths, maths are calculations not conceptual thought. Maths has no ability to program children on how to think correctly. Once students leave school, very few opportunities to use maths will be carried out.

The curriculum: Science, science has much to do with remembering chemical names, science lessons won't be experienced until high school, won't be done very often, students too mentally exhausted to remember, difficult to apply questions in examinations. Science innovation promotion is more propaganda, moving deck chairs around, politicians looking concerned to fix people's awareness of improving education for future employment opportunities.

The curriculum: geography, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography
may as well watch media geography programs. One country per week learned from image books, yet, place names have zero conceptual learning.

The curriculum: History, history has: names of places; names of people; dates... ideal for periodic examinations due to the no need to think, easy to remember examination requirements. No need to think, dummying down any reason to think about trivial knowledge criteria. May as well watch media history documentaries.

The curriculum: English, my experience with English lessons were to copy words off a chalkboard. If English is about reading Shakespeare and or similar out of date speech, twisted phrases expressing verbal experiences related to: love; homicides; greed; politics... should express to thinking people, how many English speaking people cannot express themselves past the simplest ideas: current weather; their name; their friends names; where they live; media repeated names of popular people; names of political parties. Basically... names of all sorts of things yet formulating sentences past basic needs, needing to think outside the box. Media and religious myths consume spare moments of simple repeating rolled over thoughts. Any ideas outside the box are ejected. If by saying, “No person has walked on the moon,” every person hearing such statements, goes into default, pulling out of the box, “Yes, astronauts talked on the moon”. Will listeners spend time to consider whether any astronauts walked on the moon or not, I say people are educated not to think, defaulting to the “inside the box” beliefs.

Every journalist, every person, sometimes even myself, uses the word “hard” when a similar word to the word “difficult” should be used. The two words are not of similar description. The opposite to hard is soft. When something is easy to do, people don't us the word soft?

I often hear double negatives from journalists: didn't do nothing; wasn't doing nothing; etc. “nothing” should be “anything”.

Children are not allowed to express themselves while held inside classrooms. Children too young to attend school, children have varying degrees of ability to formulate subconscious concepts into verbal expressed sentences.

Parents, having shown their children how to read, having calm behaved children. Children using their calm personality, taking notice of events going on around them, have experienced how to formulate thought productive concepts, somewhat expressed in internal voice conscious thought.

Children held in environments were irrational behaviour is often expressed by parents and siblings, children see the dysfunctional behaviour as learned correct behaviour within similar away from home visual perceptions. How perceived repeated behaviours determines how much reinforced subconscious imagery is instantly transmitted into subconscious knee-jerk reactions, felt positively to be the correct reaction to environments.

Young badly behaving children, on first attending school, having repeatedly experienced negative reactions to home life's difficult situations, that arguing with parents and old siblings, otherwise children will be: bullied; verbally abused; taken for granted. Attending school, being told what to do, bullied by teachers and other bullying students whom children can't defend themselves against bullying teachers demands, as they may have done in their home.
Mental stress experience at home, becomes worse, as young children are forced to sit on seats in classrooms for up to 6 hours each day, listening to teachers pointless lesson tasks. Tasks that merely stop children from experiencing how to think past the problems associated in their environments. The saying, “what doesn't kill you, will make you stronger”. Aged 5 years children, thinking out solutions to home life poor environment, can't correctly think out solutions once children enter school's, forced irrelevant tasking labours.

Shakespearean bad irrelevant themes: love; desire; homicide; political power; etc... students attempting to decode Shakespearean twisted English sentences, are merely being redirected from more relevant conceptual learning, denying students self-programming intelligent learning both internal voice and communication with friends. Children are prevented from verbally experiencing complex subconscious real intellectual thoughts.

Many children, most all children would have been better off not going to school. In time bored children will mature, wanting to spend time reading, remembering how to do many tasks.
Next generation of intellectual capable parents and older siblings would better teach young children how to best learn relevant information.

Once children spend the first 2 years in school, children's brains easily feel learning traumas on feeling as though they're learning. After 2 years in school, children who can't read, can't easily learn to read or begin to learn many other not yet learned curriculum subjects. Children wagging school, can't learn, even though forced back into school.
Children should be left to allow mental stress traumas to decline before trying to learn how to read. Otherwise all attempts to force traumatised children to learn to read will merely turn children into angry violent protesters.

Apollo 11 moon landing, first foot to step on the moon moment, captured, transmitted to earth, received on the Parks huge parabolic dish. Images seen on television were very noisy as thought the Sun's charged particles were stronger than radio waves coming from the moon.
Large parabolic dishes can merely focus damaged by Sun's charged particles' radio waves, attempting to salvage what undamaged radio waves remain.
I theorise no man has walked on the moon therefore noisy images were created to allow people to believe a 240,000 miles distance to the moon was real.

Media recently presented theories suggesting children shouldn't watch blue screens tablets and iPhones before going to bed. Every person should receive 8 hours of sleep every night.
Media theories states human brains are processing the day's information while human brains sleep. Mentally stressed children, going to sleep at 8.30 PM before adequate relaxation after stressful homework, and or watching fast talking media, may have degrading outcomes out human mental health.
Long term drug addiction and mental health illness could be reduced by ensuring relaxation before sleeping.

School curriculum subjects are individual items of information. As I theorise radio waves can aid debunking space probes. Much of what's learnt in schools fails to encourage using separate curriculum subjects into one innovative idea. Trivial knowledge: people names; place names; dates... maths calculations have zero formulation intellectual thought. Maths needs to have applied objects (buildings) before maths can be used to associate theories to be true or false.

Primary school students, once having mastered maths: times table and adding numbers together. All students should be able to master basic maths 95% of the time, allowing for minor errors. Any lower percentage scores are due to mental stress issues and maybe poor sleep disorders.

All the degrading outcomes suggested above I accuse are being used to stop children from developing individual intellectual capable thought.

If you still have some reading left in you. Or maybe you having read the above, want to “sleep on it”. Here is a link to a long reading I posted, I believe is worth a read. The forum administrator felt the reading was only worth being placed in “just for fun” forum. Exampling how anti-intellectualism education decides his decisions.

Steve,

7 posts and they are all your own! You don't need to worry about intellectuals, Steve. Let them worry about themselves.

Samsung phones being charged, catching fire, examples how technology engineering isn't perfect.

Many years ago, a media presented idea came to my attention. The idea was that when a generation of engineers retire. Knowledge accumulated over many years of development are lost.

During periods of industrial development, I pose, a significant amount of relaxation from student strict educational traumatising existed.

I theorise:
The political system is so paranoid about losing control of the masses, evidence exists in past revolutions: French; Russian; Syria; Egypt; South Africa; resent coup in Turkey; etc...

For over a thousand years, Rome's Roman Catholic Church lead by an elected by cardinals elderly pope, offered European countries a religion containing repressive rules. Population's: fear of inquisitions since around year 1100, ending in the last execution mentioned in a documentary “Inquisition” in 1840; fear of going to hell and purgatory; believers needing to pay money for masses to get relatives out of purgatory; fear of mortal sins not being forgiven; fear of church excommunication.

Catholic Church brand of Christianity offered a man accused of heresy (Jesus) leading to his murder threat system. Church offered a system of control for church crowned by church ceremonies' kings, to give kings god given permission to abuse peasants, reducing instances of peasant rebellion, using populations gullible fear of disobeying church beliefs, not going to heaven.

Once a group of people become rulers. Rulers are more concerned with maintaining rule over everything. The one ruling class group of people: pretend politicians; people behind the scenes; corporate leaders; legal systems; high ranking military officers; education curriculum administrators; media editors; etc... they all have this desire to repress the masses, to allow them and their children to hold high positions and monetary rewards for doing very little work. Justifying their privileged place in society using excuses of stability in government systems.

The most least objecting, least aware people to whose in government are: illegal drug users; criminal prisoners; workers fears of recessions and depressions, unemployment; people sick of hearing political scandals and pointless announcements; people too busy to notice change from normal concerns; etc...

People following politics, are fed: new horizons predictions, ten years in the waiting French Submarine contracts; political scandals; dynamic fast talking announcements; Global Warming conferences; G10 summits; parliamentary procedures; picture taking opportunities.

All society problems: mental health; mental depression; suicides; drug addictions; family violence; seldom mentioned homelessness; youth detention; etc... all the listed problems in society, media panel discussions guests may occasionally state “problems can't be fixed”.
People would not be allowed to appear on media panels if panellists stated “education was to blame for many society social problems”.

Charles Darwin mentioned in a documentary, the church didn't complain about Darwin's Theory of Evolution book... only members of the British Commons complained about being descended from apes.

The Pope's “a single Genesis day” is not a literal day, that a literal Genesis day is a period of time. The Church plays god by setting-up peasant working class, tricking working class into doing what the church wants peasants to do.
The bible shows how Abraham's god set-up Canaanite people to believe they were god's chosen people, god through parable Moses story, setting-up Canaanite people to walk in a desert for 40 years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaanite

Modern day societies problems are church ideology setting-up peasants with illegal drugs, much the same as China had Opium Wars with Britain.
http://www.thedailybell.com/editorials/wendy-mcelroy-us-government-guilty-of-creating-heroin-addicts/

CIA involvement in illegal drugs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allegations_of_CIA_drug_trafficking

http://www.converge.org.nz/pirm/cia.htm

Regardless how excuses seems embarrassingly half true. Self-incrimination using morally correct objectives, CIA traffics illegal drugs into countries. Leaders acting as though they can't fix illegal drug problems, benefit from problems, as though leaders are safely occupying leadership posts.

World leaders are using bible parable story justifications, setting-up peasant working classes using addictive drugs, traumatising classroom education, resulting in mental illness problems, problems that have working class consuming illegal drugs, whom are least likely to protest against government leaders manipulating working class into unwise behaviours, exampling: fighting and dying in wars; bank fraud investigations that remain unresolved; boom bust economies; sudden Keating “this is the recession Australia had to have”.

Media propaganda, concerns for selective individual people, for what is usually obscure and/or rare: sicknesses; cancers... showing how, very few people are being cared for.
The many people committing suicide due to mental illness are recommended to a suicide telephone hot line, as I heard, managed by non-paid volunteers. Suicide statistic numbers increase annually.

Most all mental illness and violent behavioural problems in society could be solved over time, with the next generation, with a zero childhood traumatising school education.

September 7, 2016. A Lateline interview where guest speaker states “1 in 5 American boys gets diagnosed with ADHD by the time he (they) reach 18”.
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2016/s4534757.htm

In Denial Education:
School education's repressing mental stress learning. Learning trivial information and trying to perform maths while remembering repressing mental stress. Students finding examinations difficult to achieve 100% scores.

So much mental stress, pushing human brains to quickly finish tasks. Tasks don't need to be perfect on completion.

Aged 5 years children attending school too early. By the time children are aged 7 years, many children supported by ABC “Revolution School” remembering episode 2. “many aged 7 years children are diagnosed with clinical depression”.

At aged 8 years children are playing teachers trivial question and answer games. Children in need of self-inducing mental stress pain relieving endorphins into student brains, become enthusiastic/hyperactive about getting teacher's questions correct. I assume teachers are told at teachers colleges to ask students questions, students can only correctly answer half the questions being asked, to encourage students to try to answer all questions correctly.
Enthusiastically participating children emotional self-programming brains are experiencing feeling increased emotional intelligence while correctly answering simple memory ability trivial questions. At times, feeling denial on finding that many questions being asked were incorrect, quickly moving onto the next question.

Aged 8 year old children experiencing answering simple memory tasks, experiencing denial, quickly moving onto next questions, self-program themselves to quickly ignore mistaken, incorrectly performed work tasks, moving to the next task.

Emotionally self-programmed to deny losing aged 8 years students, feel rewarded to take up gambling in adult years.

A culture of only needing to correctly answer examination questions 70% of the time. If A to F selection examination questions are believed to be answered incorrectly, students guess answers and move onto the next question. The inability to answer examination questions correctly, are caused by student mental stress. Human brain's ability to repress fearful incorrect behaviour, brains struggling to remember examination information containing mental stress attached traumas.

I predict in years to come, many technologies will fail, because political systems doesn't want people like myself pointing out the wrongs of society.
As education systems ensure every person receives education department's version of education, dummying students using mental traumas, new introduced technologies will be more of the same technologies, and or fail due to poorly educated engineering professionalism.

Doctors frequent misdiagnosing, moving on to next patient. Hospitals known for making mistakes, a culture of covering up mistakes. Costs of mistakes passed onto consumers through medical insurances and added charges.

Much of the work force is devoted to managing badly educated: violent citizens; self-medicating alcoholism; self-medicating drug addiction; mental health Centrelink disability pensions; hospitalised preventable accidents and self-induced addictive behavioural health issues.

As Australia is a mineral resource exporting country, working class doesn't need to be very intelligent. Australian schools could dumb down working class population to a point where professional engineering labours would need to be sourced outside Australia.

September 7, 2016, Lateline program
http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2016/s4534755.htm

Above Lateline interview, Sounds like worthy issues are being talked about. Talk talk talk. Something being said on a late night program, the next day, the big news headlines has nothing to do with what may have been said the night before.

Without pictures of important politicians, is the remaining media ignoring poorly explained ideas from barely known people, or is late night programs there to catch people's attention for that End Of Time sting, I occasionally mention.
The above website CIA readings on trafficking illegal drugs, I assume are to aid convincing readers once a media program brings listeners attention to CIA involvement in trafficking illegal drugs... that the establishment won't mess readers around because readers know too much, in fear of readers informing other people with many other convincing ideas. Convincing readers to sell their property quickly during a low property price period and go hide somewhere similar to “Survivor” programs.

Many elderly self-funded retired people are losing their savings through poor investment choices. The latest investment system to crash and burn.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-19/bby-administration-leaves-brokers-high-and-dry/6481832

With many investment choices to choose from, a percentage of investment choices fail each year. Over many years, the percentage of failed investments maybe considerable.
What happens over time, becomes normal events. 90% of retired people not self-funded, couldn't care to be informed. The 10% of self-funded retired people are often guided by investment advisors, that, like BBY, go bust.

Noam Chomsky is a famous intellectual found on Wikipedia. As a linguist, he knows how to ramble on without stating solid statements. Rather than say schools are designed to turn children into zombie robots, Chomsky goes on a about “standardised testing” forcing teachers to teach to tests.
