Why Now?... a Say What? Offering...

This is a comment offered on another's blog concerning a linked article  recently published in The Atlantic: The End of College Life.

(This article) offers not a word about WHY now, why P.DT and company are, because they politically MUST, attack now. Angst and outrage is in plentiful supply, but a famine of understanding. Allow me to put some light on the subject for those who are truly and innocently clueless.

For some seventy five years the culture of the United States has been deformed by an ingrained systemic bias concerning a person’s academic level of education: those with a college degree were winners, those without the underclass obligated to defer to the judgements of their “betters” in matters where academic education makes absolutely no difference in objective fact, matters of personal ethics and the social morality that is the net effective sum of the individual ‘s ethics.

P.DT is a populist president, he was elected by that “underclass” and a consortium of refugees being displaced from the ranks of the winners by the academically approved “globalization” movement. To fully and completely secure the long term loyalty of his base P.DT must publicly act to rebuke and chastise the headwaters of the discrimination that demanded those people, whose earning potential as skilled craftsmen often rivaled or exceeded the degreed, to publically degrade their own self respect and self esteem if they were to be treated as equally viable citizens in the eyes of the college educated self appointed elites!

The fauxLiberal, always Empire Academia’s shock troops, tried in vain to redirect America into focusing on racial and socio-sexual discrimination as the driving cause of America’s discomfort with itself. They failed, reality prohibited that narrative having any significant percentage of the power it once did, all they succeeded in doing was demonstrating to one and all the depth of the Empire’s desperation to maintain the bias and bigotry that had for decades secured their control over the American Dream.

Education is at no risk, the better educated will always have an advantage in selling their time at the better price, but… you knew their was going to be a but… Empire Academia’s BLATANT MONOPOLY ON WHAT CONSTITUTES AN EDUCATED INDIVIDUAL is most definitely coming to an end. From my autodidactic point of view? About freakin’ time.

Concerning Trump and Company...

... a Say What offering.  This is a comment posted in response to this article:  https://www.newsbreak.com/share/3667954593319-the-best-way-to-help-women-end-the-male-loneliness-epidemic?

They don’t see, and they don’t learn, The mode of thought expressed in this article is one of the main reasons we have DT and company creating panic and pandamonium in current events.

Say what you say? Yes. You’d think Empire Academia would be smarter than that, and they probably would be if the Kingdom of Psychology wasn’t calling the shots for the rest of the crew.

One: introduce an idea into a homogenous population showing a normal distribution and what happens? Folks start sorting themselves out according to that idea… it applies to me or it really does not apply to me. The population begins sorting itself for you.

Two: when a population is sorted the normal rules of social interaction cause like to congregate with like, those who adjudged themselves to be at the same place (relative to that thought) have something in common, they bump into each other and tend to stick. Social media radically, dangerously, accelerates the process.

Three: each idea introduced causes a similar “combing sort” on the population. Those who find they share many (NEGATIVE SOCIAL CONNOTATION) positions begin to defend their comfort with circular reasoning and peer reinforcement… aka, a clique.

Four: people live to the expectations of the most genuinely powerful authority in their lives… up, down, good or evil, they will try and do what they think that authority desires.

Is anyone beginning to see the picture? If the clique becomes the majority what you have is a negativity based political demographic, otherwise known as a populist movement… and a representative (I won’t call him a leader) into the political machine similar to Adolph, or Donald.

And all because the dratted well meaning shrinkie-poos who write things like this article really don’t have clue the first. I say that to give Empire Academia the benefit of the doubt. If they do have a clue then they have proven themselves the lethal enemy of survival and making total war on them is the appropriate response to assure the well being of the society.
