Following on the heels of the dumbing down of the State of the Union
speech we noted yesterday, we thought a simple visualiz ation of just how
stunningly poor our nation's reading skills really are would be useful. One
in f ive Americans lacks t he basic reading skills beyond a 4 t h
grade level - are you one of them?

What
the
fuck
is
an
education
worth
the
ability
to
point
a
finger
and
prove
you
are
better.
The article
was about
illiteracy not
education
per se. The
ability to
understand
and
communicate
in words is
one of the
key
differentiators
between us
PDFmyURL.com
and animals
who cannot
use words.
IOW, it is
what largely
informs our
humanity.
Another
differentiator
is the ability
to have
empathy for
another's
suffering.
Your
"friend" was
nothing more
to you than a
cudgel to be
used by you
as an
anecdote to
make a
belligerent
point. If he
were truly a
friend, why
not help him
with his
illiteracy
rather than
subject him
to public
ridicule?
PS You
didn't make
it to Level 5.
Sad.

Education
forms the
basis of
thinking, that
thing that
separates
us from the
PDFmyURL.com
rest of the
animal
kingdom. As
most here
probably
know, even
with a good
education
many
people have
trouble
thinking and
dealing with
the way the
world really
works. They
end up
"turning it
over" to
them, the
criminals
and cons of
government,
who do and
accomplish
exactly what
they are- theft and
death.
I am sure
your friend is
a wonderful
and hard
working
person, but
when it
comes to
dealing with
the way the
world really
works he
can only
PDFmyURL.com
operate on
an emotional
and primal
level. For
him it is the
simple
choice of
Dems or
Repubs and
let them do
the thinking
for him.
What he
doesn't and
can't realiz e
is that all of
their thinking
is going in to
how to rob
him of all
that he has
worked so
hard to build.
We see this
writ large in
the ghettos
of this
country- niggers are
just the first
arrivals to
where
government
takes us.
No. No
education is
no thinking,
is no life.

You are

It's not

Name one
PDFmyURL.com
technology
that was cocreated by a
committee of
1 Billion
people and I
will concede
your point.
1 person
can be a
genius.
Think of
deciding
which
restaurant to

other
people.
Now think of
any meeting
you sat in
with 20+
people.
Sure,
everything is
based on
what came
before, but
each
invention is
the work of
one or a
small
number of
people
thinking at
once, not
the work of a
committee of
people
PDFmyURL.com
sitting
around
looking for a
50%+1 vote.
Individuals
can choose
whether to
have
children,
how many to
have, etc.
Humanity as
a whole
multiplies to
the
maximum
amount of
food and
resources
available.
The larger a
group of
people, the
more
irrational,
emotional,
ideaological,
and rigid the
group is. Not
with one
view, but
with their
sub- groups.
Forget
about
Genius. I bet
that if you
took a group
of 1000
random
PDFmyURL.com
people and
put them
together in a
group, they
would
collectively
have a sub100 IQ, or
substandard
on any test
of cognitive
ability,
provided
you allowed
everyone to
speak. As
soon as one
person said
something,
like "anyone
who says
the answer
is B is an
idiot", even
if B is
correct, at
least 60% of
the people
will not
answer B
because
they do not
want to feel
like an idiot.
Actually, we
know this to
be true:
