The Promotion of a Psychotic Break from Reality
There is a great discussion going on about the Constitution and a lot of good comments regarding the study of the history that led up to the creation of the document. I saw this article and it made me throw up in my mouth a bit. I love Game of Thrones and have read all of the books, but using a FANTASY novel to teach about actual history?
"It represents aspects of the Middle Ages much more realistically than other media depictions that purport to be more accurate," co-professor Valerie Garver said.
So zombies.dragons, and magic spells are more realistic depictions of what happened in the Middle Ages? I am posting this because I see it for what it is. Evidence that there is a strong agenda out there that is interested in distorting reality to make impressionable minds question their own reality, even their own sanity. This is a well-known mind control mechanism. This is 1984, getting tortured until you admit 2 plus 2 does not equal 4! Reading this is almost as bad as having your face eaten by rats.

"He didn't get it." They seldom do..............
A manager once said that my interpersonal problems at work were caused by others' perceptions of me, and that I should work to change those perceptions.
It took me some days or weeks to go back to him and suggest that if Perceptions are Reality, shouldn't people indulge in "Reality Checks" too?
He didn't get it.
Parents could only gasp, but one asked her to give us an example. In doing so, she cited a semantics issue to a child's understanding of a math problem. She was clearly a dolt. .
"The Middle Ages were an era of mysticism, ruled by blind faith and blind obedience to the dogma that faith is superior to reason." -- Ayn Rand
(Nudge, nudge......say no more.....)
Silence followed..............probably because none had a clue concerning epistemology.
Yes, it existed in the 50's...............my college, though excellent and reality based, instructed "right and wrong" in humanities courses supposedly studying philosophy by teaching various religions..........I was not awakened until AS/AR (1966) that philosophy had long ago been hi-jacked by religion..........so I learned the basics of the actual science of philosophy and started my journey in Objectivism........and eventually reached full understanding of how absolutely accurate it is................as for a sufficient number of others to become aware and Objectivism to begin to become the predominant philosophy........"fasten your seat belts, it going to be a long, bumpy ride"........................but the work is being done and inroads are being made..............
How do you know they're royalty?
They're not all covered in shit like us, are they?
I have actually had young people tell me "but those are YOUR facts," when discussing the reality of economics, for instance. They've been confused about what even constitutes a fact, or evidence, and would rather fall back on the seductive fantasies of utopian visions of societies. That is not by accident, but a result of a purposeful distortion of reality presented by the spinmasters of the political establishment.
How can we expect them to know anything about Europe 700 years ago?
