I'm not laughing- Atlas Shrugged, in economics, is about Austrian economics, which is way more effective in wealth production through market influence than man dictated control- indoctrination takes many forms- all that is required is giving answers and not teaching how to find answers- oh, I'm not on the right either- I don't subscribe to the left/right paradigm- socilaization is everyone is equal except the more equal- the more equal being the parroted democratically elected, even in a republican form of governance stupid people call us a democracy, having learned at the trough of Public Education which guarantees conformity from age 6 on to age 18- the most important formative years and individual has-It is laughable when the right complains about the public school system and its indoctrination and socialization of students.
What's "laughable" is one side feeling it is better than the other side when either side is merely a different rate of descent to the same destination- IMproper education, from and by both sides ensure and insure that particular flaw- and yes, it is a flaw- NO passing on of knowledge is accurate, or complete, without a foundation of Truth- Truth is constant and knowledge evolves- though many feel (believe) it (knowledge) to be stagnant- it ain't-
Another laughable moment is when the question, where in the constitution is authority granted for gov't edict/mandate on education come from? I can't find that power/authority "grant"- and I've read the constitution a lot- and I have great reading comprehension- oh, btw, my formal education stopped at age 16, 56 years ago- I am one of the fortunate, I suppose, since my indoctrination stopped early, but what little formal education I obtained was in a rural setting in west Texas and it takes a while for shit to roll down hill-
I also have an inquisitive nature which I exploit, to, of all things, learn! Imagine that, I actually want my knowledge to evolve-
The Austrian school of economics has been discredited since the 1930's. Almost all modern economists reject the concepts, the Austrian school avoids empirical data and rejects the scientific method. So why in the hell would a business department at a major university require the reading of Atlas Shrugged?
And no, you will not find anything about education in the US Constitution. But I am almost certain that you will find it in the constitution of every single state. In Texas, it is Article Seven.
Did you use the term 'scientific' in any connection to 'economics'???
OMG!!!
"When Albert Einstein died, he met three New Zealanders in the queue outside the Pearly Gates. To pass the time, he asked what were their IQs. The first replied 190. "Wonderful," exclaimed Einstein. "We can discuss the contribution made by Ernest Rutherford to atomic physics and my theory of general relativity".
The second answered 150. "Good," said Einstein. "I look forward to discussing the role of New Zealand's nuclear-free legislation in the quest for world peace".
The third New Zealander mumbled 50. Einstein paused, and then asked, "So what is your forecast for the budget deficit next year?" —The Economist, June 13th 1992, p. 71).
Einstein was a Georgist.
I just identified you based on your posts.
If you hurry, you may be able to grab "Fool" for your avi.
It would be quite a time saver for any reading your posts.
I am pretty sure I nailed you in my first post of this thread.
You've been proven wrong each and every time.
Why would this be any different?
