But isn’t that the real problem? School shouldn’t train you to be a mindless follower who simply obeys orders and consumes endlessly. That mindset is exactly what got us into this situation in the first place.
'School alone won't fix this.'
'So it's school's fault?'
Jesus, people.
You highlight issues directly connected to how schools and universities are teaching obedience and following orders. When was the last time a college professor genuinely appreciated being corrected by a student? I'm not just talking about schools, iam talking about the education system as a whole which isn't really teaching critical thinking and that's not a bug its a feature in a capitalistic system that treats their citizen like cattle and now its backfiring because of the increasing disinformation campaigns and growing influence of adversaries. It seems there may have been a misunderstanding of my original point, but to be fair, expressing myself in a way that is well understood is my handicap, i hope i could clarify.
