I’m living with my parents during COVID and going to school online. They’re both highly educated and intelligent professionals (one went to an Ivy League school at 17, the other was summa cum laude). They’ve both fallen hard for the COVID crap and TDS, and it’s just sad (and stressful). When I mentioned that I’m a little nervous about the vaccine because it’s so new and the side effects aren’t proven to be worth the risk, it was met with scorn and ridicule. They both think that everything’s going to be much better now with Democrats controlling everything. They both think that Scandinavia is socialist, and because of it they support socialism. Thanks for helping me stay sane over the past year, y’all.
Edit: just for the record, we’re Jews in an extremely liberal city. God only knows how they gave birth to someone like me.
i dunno, smart these days just seem to mean able to pass on and pass down the lies to others better than the "uneducated"
whatever happened to wise and benevolent, or integrity of knowledge
i feel like the communication of language itself is being used to build personal prisons for everyone rather than freeing people upto objectivity from the existential subjectivity we're all born into
The educational system was designed to crush these people, do not question what they teach, write it down, memorize and pass the tests. It spills over into the corporate world as well, chain of command, management, supervisors etc. No questioning and if you go against the grain you will be ostracized.
