I feel like a lot of people overlook or underestimate the fact that the world we live in is deliberately designed to make us dumber.

in reply to @MxSelfDestruct's post:
This is one of the most based posts I've ever read and it needs to be shouted far and wide that people aren't naturally stupid, they're crafted stupid
Despite the best efforts of most teachers, the modern education system is designed almost entirely antithetically to the goal of educating.
I was homeschooled and it's surprising how many people resist knowing this. I've had people shout in my face when I say that the education system depresses natural learning and natural curiosity. I am not zealous enough to say that homeschooling is a panacea, but the way I did it, I and my siblings came out fervently curious and able to "just learn" in a way that I don't see most people able to do.
good piece. I've been thinking about this subject myself, because of how "intelligence" in a very narrow and almost nonsensical sense has come to be vaunted as a prized human attribute by a society that practically requires the mass of humanity to remain permanently muddled and therefore vulnerable to sales pitches and manipulation. ~Chara
Thank you for writing this! I often have a hard time figuring out how to properly describe this whole mess, and you did it fabulously
