This is such an important contribution to the debate about the future. Great clip by Brenna Perez. We are now living in a world where to cheat is to win. Unfortunately there is no shortcut to critical thinking and once we ditch it, we lose. 🎥 TikTok -

I don’t know who this woman is, but as someone who has worked in higher ed for 30+ years, I am thrilled to see someone with a platform making the point I’ve been screaming in my head for far too long. Thank you!!

The Bootstraps Lie: Power Was Never Earned, It Was Transferred There has never been a time in American history when white men “pulled themselves up by their bootstraps.” That’s a myth, propaganda fed to the masses to justify stolen wealth, inherited power, and institutional favoritism. And if anyone still believes that lie, just look at what's happening right now. The entire system is rigged with cronyism, nepotism, and flat-out theft. These men didn’t build anything on their own, they inherited it, manipulated the system, or took it from someone else. Corporate bailouts, insider deals, family handoffs, and elite networks are the real story behind their so-called success. The truth is, the only boots being pulled are the ones off the backs of working people, so the privileged can polish their own with stolen shine.

The left has already abandoned critical thinking and common sense.

LLMs aren’t a pipeline to the rightwing this is moronic. Tiktok and humanities grads in dubious fields like this yapper are much more likely to push young men into bad political views

100%. Saw this too much even in primary sch. I homeschooled for a few yrs and used Singapore Math - all word problems. Later when parents were losing their minds over Common Core it was mainly that they never had to think thru math & wanted it all to be rote memorization.

You don't learn critical thinking skills from college in fact it all depends how your taught at the end of the day you can only learn critical thinking skills if the people teaching you have them an American college lack critical thinking skills obviously

You can't develop common sense without critical thinking skills. Magats have to learn the hard way by reinventing the wheel. Even then, they need a guidebook. Wait. That didn't make sense to me, but I bet it made sense to them.

Pretty and smart go together.
