[accordingtohoyt.com] When our time is looked at in history, future historians — if there are any — will be torn between laughing their heads off and disgust.Recently fell across someone on FB who thought the West had started the crusades against “peaceful” Islam, just out of how evil and imperialistic we were, just because.
This person has a university degree.
When told how wrong she was, she fell back on how the past is unknowable.
You know these are things she was taught, at great expense and effort. Further, her teachers inculcated in her the idea she was so smart and special, the culmination of all intelligence and knowledge in the history of man, which prevents this person and her cohorts from ever examining what they were taught in the light of reason. I mean, they don’t want to come to different conclusions, and thereby become “stupid”.
