Zone1 How to be educated and not indoctrinated

[Votto]

I recommend this for everyone.

You don't need to go hundreds of thousands of dollars into debt to get educated, only to graduate college and not be able to find a good paying job to feed Left wing trolls who teach all their students that the worst political ideology in human history, which is Marxism, is the best ever.

Just educate yourself.

That’s it?

And yet it does. Odds are you aren't going to let someone operate on you without a college degree.

Don't be gullible, don't accept things on face value, be courageous and good, compete, and have some religious guidance. That should do it.

A key tenet of being educated means being curious and seeking evidence for a hypothesis and still being open to listening to views about the null hypothesis. As a function of such an approach, one will be resistant to indoctrination.

Here is an issue, if those who want to speak to you and debate are the ones being murdered, who will you be left with? Precisely the types of people who will NOT sit down and debate.

Are you offering yourself as an example?

It explains why Trump skipped so many debates... by your definition, he's not curious, doesn't seek evidence, and is not open to any views. It explains quite a bit about the shit-show that is his administration.

Trump skipped a debate because he didn't trust the news organization that moderated the debate. He was the clear leader so there was no point on showing up to a clownshow setup by enemies that cheer his death, or the death of his followers.

So the point of this thread is "don't go to college"? What about high school? Jr high? Vocational school? Just "educate yourself"?

Any complete idiot can go through the American educational system and end up indoctrinated to the political left. But we must have great respect for those that DON'T end up indoctrinated. Those that make it through graduate school without becoming indoctrinated to the left must have an amazing level of critical thinking and are most likely exceptional people. They can think for themselves and are impervious to leftist propaganda. They should be tomorrow's leaders.

And not be assassinated for it.

A surgeon is a very very educated technician doing a very technical act and a very specific act.

It doesn't compare to just thinking giving someone an education makes them unchallengeable when it comes to political or social discourse.

I blame the indoctrination into leftist culture for the high level of violent crime in America. Many other countries are more to the left than America, yet violent crime is so much lower. It's the particular culture of the democraps that is a breeding ground for hate and violence.

Why would you do that?

 

[martybegan]

I'm not doing that, I'm responding to your attempt to equate surgeon training with gravitas from credentials in political and policy debates.

The video is titled "a college degree doesn't make someone smarter".

It most certainly does.

The degree doesn't, learning does.

I've met people with credentials up the wazoo that are idiots.

Smarter than what?
