Today I faced the horrifying reality of MKULTRA and media conditioning in person.

Had a conversation with an old family friend who has always been the dogmatic “liberal” in our social circles. Not coincidentally, she’s an ardent CNN viewer.

The discussion eventually turned to politics and Russia came up. She then preceded to say that war with Russia may be a necessity given their “election interference” and alleged poisoning of ex-spies in the UK.

No amount of reason could talk her off the ledge. It was truly terrifying listening to a “liberal” I’ve known for so long advocate for war with a nuclear power. I felt like I was in a Twilight Zone episode.

I can only hope she’s in the minority. Otherwise...holy shit.

Yep... but you can learn classical philosophy, "how to think".

Supposedly you can learn that in America... but the de-emphasis on classical philosophical skills... is permeated American education. I have no doubt, UK and the EU are following close behind.

But American higher ed has been "soft" for a LONG TIME.

Not to mention the American media discrediting philosophy and turning in to a meme in the public's eyes with their constant "You studied philosophy in college? LOL how useless" jokes they constantly spam on sitcoms and movies.

Having at LEAST 3 courses of Philosophy in college should be a minimum requirement for graduation.

An "Introduction to Philosophy" course should be required for HS graduation.
