Alan Bloom’s book, The Closing of the American Mind points this out.
Nonsense is learned-—no basic knowledge for analytic thinking. They are ignorant so they can’t process information given in college classes. They are stupid.
There is a window for “knowledge” and learning where the rapid growth of the brain is crucial to intelligence. That mind in elementary school is destroyed with cognitive dissonance—a bunch of fundamental lies about the laws of nature and Nature’s God.
It destroys the possibility of being rational——esp. in college. Why do you think liberals can’t process information even when the facts are laid out.
Ex-KGB said the schools were infused with this cognitive dissonance to destroy logical thinking. Look at the OWS and ACORN thugs—it worked.
Truly, just notice the liberal tendency to focus on the learning process of children. And then destroy it. Know they enemy, I suppose. Che Guevara once said that humans weren’t evolved enough to make true communism possible. I wonder what that “evolved” version would look like? Sort of like a labotomized version of today’s? Just a guess.
