Noam Chomsky on Education

Noam Chomsky

Most of the people who make it through the education system and get into the elite universities are able to do it because they’ve been willing to obey a lot of stupid orders for years and years – that’s the way I did it, for example… Some people go along with it because they figure, “Okay, I’ll do any stupid thing that asshole says because I want to get ahead”; others do it because they’ve just internalized the values – but after a while, those two things tend to get sort of blurred. But you do it, or else you’re out: you ask too many questions and you’re going to get in trouble. ~Noam Chomsky

It Is This Blatant!

It Is This Blatant!

The inmates are running the asylum.
Speaking lies as truths,
Promoting perversions as normal.
Accepting bribes.
Tolerating corruption.
Siphoning billions from public coffers.
Enriching themselves at our expense.
Well past time we got more constructive, more causative, more active, more communicative and more effective. And thicker skinned as the criminals HATE to be exposed and will decry the exposers.
