Some how you seem to misunderstand most of what I post.

When I talk about education, I am talking about the entire human species. How can you not understand that?

I have told you countless times you cannot take one, or two, examples here or there, and say, see!

You do that all the time, and that is also exactly what the right wing does. They think in sound bites which they then throw at the wall to see what sticks.

They do not think in a comprehensive logical manner.

I am talking about scientific demographics used to explain human and social behavior.

Yes, there are many very educated people like De Santis and Cruz who are monsters, but they are the exception and have something fundamentally wrong with them like maybe being psychopaths, or whatever.

And we humans are dividing ourselves into the thinkers and non thinkers, and the thinkers live in the Democratic party and the non thinkers in the Republican party and they are pissed at the thinkers which is why they rally around Trump who they know also hates the thinkers.

And I never said we can fix everything with education, but I will tell you education is essential for people to understand complex issues like democracy and civil rights, and it is an essential ingredient for a modern civilized society.

Just look at the countries doing well and those not so well, and usually you will be able to point to education as the essential variable. .

If it wasn't essential, we would not have lived in caves for tens of thousands of years, or had the barbaric history we have.

This period right now, is the most civilized the human species has ever been and it is !00% the result of general education, whether formal, or informal which taught us to think in a more sophisticated manner.

So using a little deductive logic, the way to advance civilization in the world is through education.

<,


"Isn't it common knowledge that education leads to liberalism and liberalism leads to humanity" Those well-educated people I just told you about are neither very liberal, nor humane. There are even schools using conservative money to promote conservatism. "(Deathsantis) doesn't scare you?" He does, but I'm not the one saying that we can fix everything with education.
