For those that like to understand whats happening and how it all started.

"the aim of public education is not to spread enlightenment; it is simply to reduce as many individuals as possible to the same safe level, to breed a standard citizenry, to suppress dissent and originality. Public education does not encourage critical thinking nor does it foster imagination. It does not teach emotional intelligence. It does not encourage the pupils to work together to solve problems. It does not seek out and help nurture an individual’s innate skills and abilities. It just gives you tasks."

As Albert Einstein said, “Never confuse education with intelligence.” In his book, The Dumbest Generation, Mark Bauerlein reveals how a whole generation of youth is being dumbed down by their aversion to reading anything of substance and their addiction to digital “crap” via social media. In American schools the culture exalts the athlete and the comely cheerleader.

Conversely, overtly-intelligent and intellectual students are commonly referred to as “nerds,” “dweebs,” “dorks,” and “geeks,” and are relentlessly harassed and even assaulted by the more popular “jocks” for openly displaying any intellect.

Imagine the next few decades of confused gender roles and diversity hires. My advice is never live in a newly built highrise or big city. Shitskins everywhere under the diversity hire. Unqualified and unwanted filth.

Weeeeeelll ... I mean, kinda, sorta not?

First, there is NOTHING in modern industrial education that actually makes students obedient low information factory workers. Partially because they actually teach things and partially because THEY DON'T TEACH ANYTHING THAT LETS STUDENTS GET INTO THE TRADES.

If anything, the schooling is highly biased toward pushing kids into higher education, because, not a single schooling system in north America allows kids to explore a full set of career opportunities. School really IS NOT training kids to be drones, it's actually shoving them into university where the communists lie in wait to brainwash them.

The only problem with industrial schooling is that it is industrial. Humans don't learn in 1hour increments with a LOUD AND NOISY AND CRAZY break in betweeen courses and each day you learn 4 DIFFERENT THINGS. This is merely an aftereffect of trying to scale up education as quickly as possible during the industrial revolution where we did not really understand how the human mind worked but more importantly we did not have all of the information technology assists we have now.

I mean, lots of people say lots of shit all the time and sometimes things like this get quoted and even understood as evil even outside of context doesn't always make it true.

Yep. George Carlin talked about this in his graduate-level lectures. Check out the historical recordings.

100%. his joke was something to this effect: "they want the people smart enough to turn the knobs and pull the levers but never smart enough to step back and question the big picture to truly understand how fucked you're getting."
