It's long past due we talked about the anti-intellectualism sentiment in America (and the world, for that matter)

Ugh.

People don't understand American history and just say shit that see.

America wasn't founded by intellectuals. America never cared about intellectuals.

America was founded by slave traders, merchants, religious freaks and frontiersmen. America is a nation of doers and risk takers. America is a nation of people that speak plainly and do what needs to be done to win. That's the ideal American type.

The problem is, we have people in this country that aren't American in spirit and aren't tapped into the spirit of the times.

The spirit of the times calls for bold action. It doesn't call for dispassionate rational logic.

People can go around blaming red pill men, Jesus freaks, Neo-Nazis and the like but guess what, they won the country and the technocratic rational types are sitting at home scared of what is going to happen to them.

That's what the lack of vision gets you.

And that was damn near 300 years ago. America should've evolved at a way faster rate.

Especially since we claim to be one of the world leaders in innovation and technology advancement, which requires......education.

No, we are world leaders in innovation and technology because we take risks and win and our government spends billions upon billions supporting researchers in STEM with government contracts.

See, this is how I know that we got people in this country that don't understand the country that we live in.

JP Morgan, one of the richest men in American history got a bullshit degree in art history from a no name European school. Yeah he had a rich daddy that coddled him early in his career, but he didn't send him to Harvard.

John D. Rockefeller, one of the richest men of all time, didn't go to a university, but started as bookkeeper.

Steve Jobs was a college drop out that was fucking around most of his young life, taking yoga and meditation classes and avoiding his baby momma.

Andrew Carnegie, a fucking child laborer in the railroad industry turned multi-billionaire.

Walt Disney was taking night classes in cartooning.

Mark Zuckerberg was a typical sex obsessed college student that dropped out after Facebook.

Ain't too many mega rich people in our history that created businesses that finished college.

America is not known for it's education and its intellectual history. We are known for our industriousness and military power. And we do have the best universities in the world but only rich people and competitive students go to them.

I don't know what people that been in America don't understand that America is great because of its precariousness weeds people out. We were modeled after the fucking Romans not the Greeks. People come to America to make money and that's it. Not for the education...unless it's an Ivy League school or one of the Public Ivys.

Tell that to positions that REQUIRE education to even get entry-level positions:

Educators
Doctors
Lawyers
Financial Systems
Engineers
Aviators

I could go on. There's ONE Zuckerberg for every 100,000 college grads. ONE Steve Jobs. ONE Walt Disney. The rest of those people that run those companies on a daily basis had to be EDUCATED to get to those seats.

So?

When has America ever cared about working people?

Since when we give a fuck about a dumbass that stayed in college 7 years to study some shit that nobody cares about?

We care about money.

You could've been a software engineer in 2008 at a FAANG and retired by now.

You could've been an early adopter in Bitcoin and retired by now.

There's IT guys that make doctor money with no degree.

We have a doctor and scientist shortage in this country for a reason. Spending a decade in school is stupid as shit. Our smart people drop out and make money. The reason why all of our doctors and scientists are becoming overwhelmingly foreign born because they gotta stay in school to stay in country. Americans don't see the value in staying in school.

Even our Fortune 500 business executives are becoming majority foreign born and 2nd generation.

What America have y'all been in where we cared about education? That shit is for the downwardly mobile middle classes that believe the hallmark of elitism is knowledge and not power. It's for the immigrant class that see education as assimilation.

America create businessmen, entertainers and charlatans, not intellectuals. We are not an intellectual people.

Lol, the world don't know an American philosopher. They know Spider-Man and Micky Mouse. Ain't nobody care about Richard Rorty.

Our “BLACK” presidential candidate had Glorilla, Meg Thee Stallion and Cardi B at her rallies campaigning for her.

So, yeah.

It's jealousy of those who stuck it out and earned their educational accolades.

You ever talk to people that failed out or dropped out of school as opposed to those that stayed and finished? You can smell the resentment on a good number of them.
 
I posted this in another thread a while back, but it seems most fitting here.




Intelligence is not rewarded in our society.

You don’t need college to be considered smart so let’s not paint that narrative. The access to information is that all-time high The same thing that folks are learning college to get a goddamn liberal degree shit you can learn on YouTube

Matter of fact, most degrees is just remembrance of useless information and being smart just because you decide to stick it out to get the degree why simultaneously putting yourself in a mountain of debt, does not make you smart matter fact it’s a stupid decision


Also, just because someone has a degree, does not mean they are qualify to be a teacher matter-of-fact most people that is in the teaching field are terrible teachers because teaching is a school that don’t come just because you have a degree

Education is not a liberal degree. There ARE nuances that YouTube can’t teach you. Especially in certain parts of Education like Special Ed. Not every teacher can write an IEP, or even understand what that means to the education of a Special Education student.

I’m not saying that you need college to be considered smart but it IS used as a measurement for several things about a person: persistence, tenacity, resourcefulness, adaptability. The experience alone says that either you’re cut for that industry or not shines through with a acknowledgment of completion of that field.

Also, I’m not trusting unqualified people with in some cases, my life, without education and training in that field. No way would people fly on an airline if it was discovered their pilots were getting aviation degrees from DeVry, or would they accept treatment from doctors that only went to community college.

Those accolades stand for SOMETHING out here.
