Weaponising Education: A Society of People Who Dwell in the Dirt of Non-Logic By James Reed

     This is where the present system of “higher” education leads, to “weaponised education,” designed specifically to destroy traditional culture, institutions and values:

“The independence engendered by the disciplined study of logic is no longer a desired quality in students. The classroom, at best, has taken on the appearance of a fact-memorization factory; and we should express grave doubts about the relevance and truth of many of those facts. A society filled with people who float in the drift of non-logic is a society that declines. Ideologies that deny individual freedom and independence are welcomed with open arms. When education becomes so degraded that young students are no longer taught to reason clearly, private citizens have the obligation rebuild that system so the great contribution to Western civilization—logic—is reinstated in its rightful place. Logic, the key by which true political discourse, science, and law were, in fact, originally developed, must be unearthed.

Logic and reasoning, the capacity to think, the ability to analyze ideas—an ability which has been forgotten, which has been a surpassing virtue in every free civilization—must be restored. Once a vital thing has been misplaced, buried, and covered over by mindless substitutions, people cannot immediately recognize the original thing has any importance, meaning, or existence. To declare its importance makes no sense to “the crowd.” They look bewildered and shake their heads. They search their memories and find nothing. They prefer to adhere to rumor, gossip, accusation, wild speculation, and fear mongering as the primary means of public discourse and assessment of truth. These habits light their paths. These reflexes give them some degree of pleasure. These idols become their little gods. To win out over such attachments and superstitions is a job for the long term.”

     However, I dissent. How is it possible to do logic with a mob that support all those who aim to bring us down, even if they go with it, or perhaps they think that they, the Left, will be spared and given special treatment, the 30 pieces of silver? Examining the absurdities coming from the academy, there is no reasoning with the university status quo. It must be dealt with as an institution toxic to the lifeblood of the nation, and one needs to proceed on that basis of shutting it down, the same policy Big Tech is adopting to our side of politics. Just-shut-it-down.
