In reply to the discussion: All the crazy MAGA QANON hate points to a failure of our public education [View all]Chainfire
(17,471 posts)Dr. Carl Sagen was the speaker. He said that the most important tool that the education system could provide a student was a "functioning bullshit meter."
Today, a significant number of Americans are lemmings who will blindly follow their crazy leaders. Their bullshit meters are broken. Today, the lie has equal footing with the truth, science is no more important than mythology, hate has become a Christian value, and sportsmanship is for losers . It is the product of decades of hateful propaganda; it was not an accident.
Where is all will lead will probably be clear in the next few months for we are at a fork in the road. We will take the long, hard path towards recovery, or we will take the path that leads to the abyss. We will become healers or destroyers. I have studied history so I am not optimistic.
