Myth Matched
17th December 2015
Sarah Hoyt debunks some myths.
The idea that if you gave everyone enough food and time and free schooling they’d all become erudite and thinkers can be disproved by a stroll through your local Welfare hub. Go on, I dare you, go down and start a little discussion on Kantian philosophy.
But it’s an idea that remains a myth on the left which has lost all other classical liberal ideals (like, you know, individual freedom) but holds fast onto this idea that education will somehow make a progressive out of everyone. (Patently ridiculous as they’ve been indoctrinating several generations now, and it still won’t take the way they want. That cold slap of reality counteracts it. Which is why they advocate more cowbell.)
