The C. I. A. says that when nothing Americans believe is real, we've done our job.
Textbooks are a sales racket. The mandatory textbooks in the lower schools are just a way to fatten publishers' pockets. American history in particular is a bunch of shiny propaganda that skips most of the important things. University professors will find themselves unemployed if they discuss certain things. Saying university "can" be expensive is an understatement; like real estate, it continues to drastically increase, while real wages, or what you can afford per an hours' labor, plummets, if you can find anyone who will pay you to do something.
English as a second language must be one of the hardest ones. I can't explain to you why "good food" does not rhyme. In most other languages, there would be a different letter or accent mark or something. Here, you have to say the words differently or everyone would laugh at you, but, apparently, if you misspell them, that's considered a plus.
I for one am atavistic and believe we should have less technology. It ruins the soul. If the society is just going to breed people who are pro-robot and con-spelling, it's already dead. One is not really opposed to change, but what kind of change, is the issue. I have always found it much easier to communicate with Europeans, Chinese, and Africans, who bothered to learn my language, because there is someone behind those eyes. There's really a mental communication, where words are only a bridge; a lot of the people here are struggling to have a coherent thought.
Back around the 1930s, General Motors bought most of the train and trolley companies, quit doing maintenance, so everything fell apart, so public transportation went extinct and everyone had to buy cars. In Europe, I can easily hop on something, hop on something else, keep going forever and never stop with perfect ease. Here, you mostly get into a car, go into a store for some package with minimal human interaction, then return to your self-satisfying box of isolation. Totally different environments.
Childhood has been extinguished. As soon as I could walk, I went wherever I wanted and talked to anyone. Some of my first friends were Hindus, and a retired couple from what was then Czechoslovakia. Everyone was outdoors all the time. Now you don't see anyone. The draconian laws on children, and how little you have to do to have them legally kidnapped, are mind boggling.
In other words, the place where I was born, has been destroyed and replaced with a shill, over the course of (what I hope amounts to) half a lifetime. There's a few exceptions, but when progress amounts to new things like "homeless family", we can be sure that corporate interests are not at all the same as human ones.
You're allowed to gain a type of mechanical intelligence to allow you to become a specialist in one thing, and that's about all.
I've heard from some Europeans that they are actually shocked to see medicine and doctors' ads on television and so forth, as if there is not really a need to advertise these services in their countries. In most respects, this is not a country, it's a disease factory.
