There’s nothing in the world more Dangerous than an intellectual or academic with an idea. Doubly so when they manage to secure financial backing.
There’s very much a reason why historically access to information and what was published, copied, and distributed to the general public was tightly controlled by Governments and Religions. Beyond any overt Tyrannical desire to exercise control over a populace.
Academics and Intellectuals have plunged the world into chaos and war with their ideas as often as various leaders desire for Conquest, Resources, and Imperial Dominion have. If not more so.
It’s no particular coincidence that Governments, Kingdoms, Religions, and Empires that stood for hundreds of years.
Declined and Toppled one after another throughout the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries after the advent of the printing press. It became radically easier for the ideas of Academics and Intellectuals. Both Good and Bad to spread rapidly.
Agreed in total.
I experience daily in my profession as a teacher the damage that has been done over the last few decades and can only hope and do my part in speaking truth and providing access to THE truth.
Thank you so much--I currently work in adult education--helping older students who were broken by the system, get their high school diploma. SO much work needs to be done!!!
I am praying about getting my administration credential to help lead in private or charter schools to reform education. I covet your prayers....it's a battlefield out here
Wow, fren you are truly on a Mission from God! What a wonderful feeling of fulfillment you must have helping this group! You have my Prayers and admiration! 🙏🫡
It has been decades but I remember hearing on the radio the dean of ethics at Princeton thought parents should have 2 years to decide if they wanted to keep their child.

I said, “Wow!” and then I see Joy’s reply. I couldn’t say it better myself. God bless you and your mission!
I learned from listening to Thomas Sowell to be wary of advice from people who don’t face consequences for being wrong. Such as academics.
