It’s easier to find the time to read long pieces of journalism on the weekends. I enjoyed reading this piece about the 8 ways our youngins are being programmed not to rebel. I’d say the number one way is The Entertainment, however you define that. Smart phones, the Internet, and television are destroying a generation of people, in my opinion. We have instant access to almost any information we might need, but we’ve never been more stupid or docile. It’s really quite remarkable. I also think we underestimate how quickly people turn to pharmaceuticals when their children are struggling in school. We’re trying to dope away eccentricity, basically. I mean, school is not for everybody. But we ought to have space in our schools for people who don’t know how to play by the rules.
