To assume that the lack of critical thinking being taught in the public schools is an accident is to ignore the plain facts. Remember that we are borrowing the Prussian school system. A populace that cannot dissect an argument to assess veracity is easier, by far, to “pacify.”

Rand only followed relativism to its logical end (what I want is the most important thing). You’d be better off reading Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to Death” and anything by John Taylor Gatto.
