The Dumbing Down of America (Part 2 of 2)

Crystal, Lisa, and Anthony discuss the roots and current state of educational and societal manipulation that has dulled critical thinking in our country. The episode revisits the consequences of mindless compliance, the impact of communal isolation, and the dangers of not asking probing questions. 

Crystal shares a personal anecdote about being discouraged from questioning during her pursuit of a Master’s degree. It's a stark reminder of the systemic effort to limit our intellectual boundaries.

Anthony highlights another crucial aspect—social engineering through media and government propaganda. By controlling the narrative, these powerful entities have moulded our perceptions and opinions, often without us even realising it. This manipulation is not just a factor of the past but is vividly seen in recent events, such as the governmental response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
