Modern Intellectuals' Affinity for Nonsense
And as I write that, I wonder how many even know what I mean?...
At AmericanThinker.com, Anthony J. DeBlasi recently wrote:
"'I don’t like to think,' a young man once told me ( his exact words). This stunning confession from an otherwise fine young person was to me direct evidence that his mind was deformed by a defective system of education that dates back to John Dewey. It marked him as an asset of amoral strategists who care more about an agenda than the welfare of their fellow human beings. It is beyond sick that the young in America who, like this individual, 'don’t like to think' must depend on 'authorities' and 'experts' who despise the collective wisdom of people smarter than they, garnered over many centuries, regarding the most important things in life.
The drift from reality in so many young minds today – thanks to the progressive dismantling of intelligence in the public schools – must halt if living in a civilized society still means anything at all."
