And the tech school I got a degree from now hosts courses on “Reiki healing” and “Crystal healing”. America is fucking doomed.
I’m not surprised. The quality of education has been going downhill and there’s been a recent vaccine scare.
So, the universe is like a video game but the lesson is morality. Long story short, i have met the antivaxers and i understand. They are dishonest people. I dated their daughter. They will not listen because they’re arrogant. They will face horrors until they learn their lesson. The point is, this is a morality problem, not an education problem. Nothing will save them but their own misery you’re honestly trying to prevent.
My friends family is a bunch of trumpers, she’s apolitical and vaguely socially liberal.
At her graduation party, they hung up a HUGE Trump banner. It wasn’t already up, they put it up before most people started showing up. Fucking insane.
Sounds insane. However, mother nature will correct their attitude problems. Just wait patiently.
I’d say it is ,at least partly, an education problem.
Sure, education is less likely to correct a deeply engraned false belief, but education is one of the most effective tools to prevent the lies, misinformation, and manipulation from taking hold in the first place.
However, like most preventative measures, it will take a long time to see results.
OK, if you can educate them early, yeah. However, these folks were homeschooled. They were elitist and arrogant.
Widespread homeschooling is definitely problematic.
Yes, but i bet you don’t know how bad homeschooling is. It’s one of the few beliefs i share with the left that homeschooling is bad. It’s so bad that when people defend homeschooling, they get the objections wrong. Homeschooling fails so socialize children, and homeschooling advocates say that means children have no friends. Nobody says that. It’s so embarrassing. I dealt with homeschool kids and they’re fragile and weak.
If i was on the left, i would cerebrate this like crazy. They are scared and they’re running away and what’s more their making their children weak.
I don’t care if these anti vax idiots kill themselves, I care that they are killing people with weakened immune systems or children that are either too young to get them or they didn’t vaccinate them. This is all 100% the fault tRump and Russian propaganda, it’s sad soo many fall for it.
survival of the fittest is doing its thing, even if innocent people go down as victims of stupid people, such is life and death.
