I still believe a classic liberal arts education (not what it’s been turned into), is the best way to train the mind to think, and not be indoctrinated.

The question is, where can you get that kind of education anymore, other than figuring out how to do it on your own?

The next generation is so tied to their phones, with AI already substituting for their thinking, that such skills may only be developed with tech-free classrooms followed by some form of higher ed that forces the actual reading of hard-copy books.

I doubt we’ll have many graduates who have developed such intellectual rigor.

Spot on!! Life is full of challenges, and the ability to think rationally, form your own well-informed opinions, and to not fall victim to fears and indoctrination is crucial.

Where? There hasn't been enough teachers for such a classic liberal arts education since before education became compulsory. You're on your own. Look inward.

And worse than not having such a classic education, we've instead been given indoctrination and outright falsehoods.
