RE: The TWO types of INTELLECTUALS - Academia DEFINED

in #education7 years ago

There are so many people I know who only seem to recognize authority-certified information. Self-education is not something that they can conceptually recognize. And critical thinking? Forget it. I wonder what it takes to de-indoctrinate the true believers.

Sort:  

If you have ever read Ellul, the French social theorist works, especially his Propaganda from the 1950's......he makes an astute observation regarding indoctrination which I find to be 100% correct. Basically the more educated in a formal sense, the more you are susceptible to propaganda and it's collective effects.
