The real problem I see with the free energy , is that it takes away from any alternative energy sources getting a foothold and helping with are moving to better other sources , especially decentralize or distributive energy .
I think there was a point in recent history , that education made people resistant to BS , but the powers that be / or want to be , have use the DUMBING DOWN in the schools , to make it easier to bull crap the masses .
What is the worst thing about the believers = people who have limited knowledge fall into being sheep !
Just my understanding of why we are not reaching almost any potential , most the corruption of greed .
The classic definition of propaganda = if you can not hide the truth / you mix it with so many lies that no one will figure it out .
Well it seems you've fallen for a bullshit of your own choosing as well - the conspiracy theory bullshit.
There is no concerted effort to make mankind stupid.
And an insightful analysis of the education reform through last 20 years proves otherwise.
1. There is consistent shift in public education (in USA mainly - therefore I don't know why you don't follow the relevant data before posting) from stimulating creativity in kids to training them to be consumers (rat race attribute included).
2. Reorganisation of system of values follows that shift as a logical consequence. Egocentric needs and means to satisfy them become more important than any honourable values and honest behaviors.
3. Honourable behaviours are in fashion only as long as they serve the goal of material selfsatisfaction, or are profitable to particular big corporation, or are beneficial to the modern system of totally invigilated sheeps. Please keep in mind that the conciousness of being watched 24/7 also shifts the behaviours' patterns from these 100% private (as in being one-one-one with self, just chilling and being oneself) to the more publicly-correct ones (frankly: artificial).
4. That artificialness is one of the hidden (not noticed at the first sight) factors of so called atomisation of the society. Atomisation means that people are less capable of just talking one to another, and, the key thing, organising, especially into movements. Atomisation is the goal in a pursuit for a obidient, "semi-paralysed" society. Or a sub-goal at least.
5. USA was literally bought by umpteen corporationists quite a few decades ago, the things about NSA and similar agencies are coming out, the Information Awareness Office is a fact, and there are anough teachers in USA (and in other countries too - unfortunately) who speak openly and in details about the shift I mention in point 1.
And an intersting fact: when the reform of education was taking place in Poland in the mid 90's the important participant in the talks was... a representant of Intenational Monetary Fund. There wouldn't be anything suspicious in that (especially if one believes in honesty of banksters' intentions
) unless... that guy strongly suggested that: a) the number of public libraries in Poland has to be reduced to 10% (WTF?); b) absolutely no public higher education (which is costly enough already for students) - all studies, universities, universities of technology had to be only paid; c) the level of the education lowered and narrowed to only the knowledge suitable later for corporate employers. And what's the situation now, almost 20 years later? There is a whole lot of people who graduaded universities, including these of technology, but they only have diplomas and a simple set of commands embedded in their minds, and no creative thinking, no wide horisons - they are dumb and shallow as f..k and personal contact with them is artificial. They are nothing like students from before the education who were mostly McGyvers and Einsteins at the same time in comparison to the present-day-students. Of course there are noble exceptions between the last ones. This however does not change the level and mindset of general population of modern students. It seems like only universities where teachers do not obey new directives and teach the students with a way that sparks creative thinking and passion of active learning towards a particular subject have such exceptions.
There is a political bond between USA and Poland of importing the sociotechnical schemes (from USA into Poland) with a variable offset of about 2 years (my priv observation). I followed the thread to the end and studied the case in Poland, in USA and also a bit in England. I did my homework (during last 5 years). Above post proves that enough. And what research you did before stating the old good "all-is-well, keep calm" opinion?
Mankind is stupid enough by itself.
Speak for yourself and please do not generalise. Generalisation is a bad habbit.
1. There are several particular factors during pregnancy that help or disturb brain development in fetus aswell as the general mental and emotional capacities of the child-to-be-born. The list is too long to include here. Interestingly enough, these factors are not only chemical or physical - they are also socioeconomical (among others) techniques that result in predictable mothers' behaviours that in consequence affect brain development in fetus (there are very interesting researches about what particular input can "programme" what particular things in a child who's yet in womb).
2. There are several particular factors during child's development that help or disturb intelligence, creativity, and so on (nowadays USA public education tending to have attributes related to factors that disturb (actually they help but in making people obey and do not question authority)).
3. There is a general curve of learning capability against age (generally: the younger the kid the more informations he sucks in). Just give the kids stimulating input (in the positive meaning of course). GIGO rule applies here.
Just because you not necessarily realise these points it doesn't mean they don't exist.
Of course I can understand that simply your field of interest may be placed in something else. In such case I think you'll find my points interesting and... satisfying your natural curiosity of a human being.
Of course education system isn't the only thing to point responsible for people's intelligence nowadays. It's one of many. However, it's not a chance that the horisons of knowledge in general population aren't too wide. Please do not troll forum users here by calling the perfectly trackable "conspiracy" a "theory".
I put the word "conspiracy" in quotes because it's more a plan (of shifting towards a more obidient and controllable model of society).
