The words of a former progressive. What say you?

I’d gone to university, so clearly I was intellectually superior, and therefore what else could I be but a chic “progressive”

However, after absorbing the material that accompanies “higher education”, I was left almost entirely incapacitated regarding my ability to critically think.

This is such a good summary of what is done by modern liberals... to the unsuspecting.

Impressive. An intelligent and honest person, who recognized the truth, and admitted it to others.

An argument for independent thought is an argument for liberalism. It is too much conservatism that ruins an education, as your given example suggests.

Sounds like more bullshit you've dreamt up.

I suppose a link would be out of the question.

Wow. Please run for President. Please! 🤩
You bragged elsewhere that you had been in an engineering undergrad program. Are you telling us you never graduated??

You also claim to have some kind of credential from a seminary. What does THAT do to critical thinking??

@ElwoodBlues You are the one this article is aimed at. You have been taught what to think but not to question what you have been taught. Nice of you to rise to the bait.
@hippyjoe1955 [quote] this article is aimed at[/quote] What article? The one on the invisible link??

[quote] I was left almost entirely incapacitated regarding my ability to critically think[/quote] Sorry to hear that, dude!!!

BTW, I notice you ducked BOTH of my questions. My questions referred to how YOUR education affected YOUR ability to think critically. Did you duck the questions because you never learned to think at all?? Or can you demonstrate your ability to think by answering them now???

We are taught what to think on a daily basis..@hippyjoe1955
I went to college to learn about things that I am interested in and how to use that to make a living.

It never actually changed how I think.



Only think that affects my brain, Is social media.

@checkoutanytime The author of the piece said that in not so many words.
