![ABC News: "Officers [should stay away from the scene] ...[they're] just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn. 😃🔥🚘" Ah, yes. The classic "fun for all ages" activity. Flaming vehicles on a street. You don't hate journalists enough. You think you do, but you don't.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1932109374018707858/ext_tw_video_thumb/1932109358113955840/pu/img/uV-QWUUMY9dN3aRF.jpg)

"The Longhouse" is when toxic women consider it their business to ruin other people's relationships and lives, over a joke, or because they lack their own success in that arena. Perfect example ⬇️: "The men's hockey team's wives, should divorce them, to appease me!" 🤪😱😤😡

In light of the #HarvardUniversity scandal, let's revisit one of the most powerful scenes in all of cinema - a personal favorite of mine. In "Good Will Hunting," we can open a time capsule from 1997, and see that plagiarism, unoriginality, overpriced credentialism, and elite perceptions of moral superiority have been long-standing fixtures of American education. The exchange also covers all the defining points of the "Midwit" phenomenon, decades before it became a meme. Problems like these don't appear overnight. Will's character demonstrates to the audience, how much self-confidence and character is built by breaking with consensus and finding the truth for yourself. He prides himself more on the learning he has done *outside* a classroom. At the same time, the opposing character has nothing but a false sense of superiority - easily demolished. His reaction nails the foolishness of credentialism and the impotent handicap of those who can't think beyond the material. The core message is unstated, but obvious: "You learn nothing real from a life spent repeating the ideas of others." Healthy civilizations cultivate real character. They don't glorify overpriced ego satisfaction, and they dont exalt or worship those selling it. Neither are doing themselves or their society a favor. Will America stop learning these lessons the hard way? 🇺🇸 Our future depends on it...
