Like a blight on burgeoning brains the unmentioned pervasive suppression of unbridled inquiry honest reflection uncensored discourse and healthy dissent thrives beneath the shielding artifice of scholastic virtue that cloaks the unspoken program that seeks to prevent genuine erudition and wisdom; thrives behind the brilliant sacrosanct front of an ostensibly enlightened curricular system; behind that peerless indoctrination agent masquerading as education with its dedication to teaching what to think instead of how; behind that go-to tool for inculcating rules and instilling conditioned submission as young minds are drilled in gov-approved schools where the ingestion of unquestioned information and conformity-fostering social control are the primary goals of so much robotic orthodoxy-propping regurgitation in schools where lip-service praise is paid to the laudably liberal if in-theory-only principles of uncorralled curiosity and free-ranging thought while in practice these are seen as signs of vile defiance as the penned-in sheep are routinely taught the enormous rewards of blind compliance alongside its bitter inverse the hefty price of deviance from belief in the big lies and myths that serve to legitimize state crime — the lesson of lessons being the blessings of obedience and the curse that awaits those who think out of line.
Unfortunately the rewards of institutionalised thinking are huge monetarily and money is power and status.
So the beneficiaries of such are never faced with any introspection.
