"keep the rabble in check and focused on their desired paradigms and perceptions."

So many people act as if being informed of something by someone (learning) is a bad thing and that the teacher is somehow rabble or low class. It's true 1984-ish, wherein ignorance = strength. It's a daily amusement to me how many people are thoroughly brainwashed and don't even realize it and further resist even being made aware of it. It's a mass hysteria of historical proportions, duped and greedy capitalists just keep feeding their false beliefs with any form of misinformation they can get or invent. I say it's amusing because the entire corporate media has become the equivalent of The Weekly World News and people don't even think to question the validity of Batboy living in a West Virgina cave! Instead, people would rather shove their officious fraud of knowledge onto you and me via propaganda recitals steeped in whatever false premise, be it political or whatever, they've chosen to be duped by.
