They got sent off to college and told that any degree is better than honest work. They have been taught to believe political ideology trumps facts. Those connective synapses in the brain that would tell them otherwise have been deliberately atrophied, if not completely severed. The real world is not as their handlers told them it should be. Success and more importantly survival depend on hard work, the application of knowledge and the accumulation if experience. All things they were told don't matter. That when faced with this kind of cognitive dissonance it should come as no surprise that many will resort to violence.<br /><br />I've used it before but it still fits perfectly:<br /><br />"Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians in which instinct has learned nothing from experience."<br /><br />George Santayana<br /><br />Infants in grown up bodies are everywhere. Between so-called colleges and Opra Winfry they have nearly succeeded in destroying the social cohesion of Western Civilization.JWMJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330556524852443926noreply@blogger.com
