Who’s teaching you?
Folk rather let politically-fueled media algorithms manipulate/validate their thinking instead of practicing discernment. Kids in Finland are learning to think and discern, with intellectual tools many adults in America ignore. What/who teaches you?
American adults are relishing in revision and open lies. And THOSE adults are working to dismantle fact-based education for our children. Common sense doesn’t debate historical facts. The past has already happened . HOW history it is taught, in the hands of authoritarian-wannabe leadership, is where the threats exist.
World history teaches how lies, administered by the powerful, are at the root of fueling authoritarian regimes. We should know better by now.
We are living in a “Black Mirror” universe. Humans “controlled” by technologies. Cyber money replacing real money. “Reality” TV is scripted. Fabricated facts replace truths and evidence-based details. Wrong is being touted as right. The Golden Rule is intentionally tarnished.
Sadly, few people understand the power of activating disinformation in the minds of intellectually CHALLENGED masses. It will certainly confuse a cultishly vulnerable sub-group who fails to understand how mental manipulation is a military tactic. And, that is the plan.
This Finnish saying should be globally self-evident, “You have the right to your own opinion, but you don’t have the right to your own facts.” Of course, it would be loudly dismissed by purveyors of fake news.
The question still begs for an urgent answer, WHO is teaching you? And, the bonus question, what is being done to our children — OUR future.
