Agreed. The depth of ignorance is shocking. People conflate formal schooling

The idea of a liberal education originally meant something more like
free-ranging, independent inquiry. Now *liberal* is taken to be a political
stance, opposed to *conservative*; thus some people (won't name names) would
like to purge liberals from education and to fill universities with dunces
and butt-kissers whose only qualifications are loyalty to Big Brother and the
official party line.
Ignorance is strength, freedom is slavery.

Education is broken from the kinder garden to the university.
We were laughing few years ago that the movie "Idiocracy" is not a fiction
but is the now, however we did not expected to have the future so fast
arriving to reality. It is hopeless!
