re: #420 Spare O’Lake

Learning how to think is at least as important as learning a particular set of facts. Filling one’s head with bullshit is another matter entirely.

I’ve dealt with ex-Soviet ideas and some of them come out of the Cold War with ideas that were literally pure fantasy. So when it came to dealing with the real world, a lot of them came to me (I was doing some charity work) on the basis that I would know how to help them live a normal life.

Without proper education as to how the world works .. you exist in a fantasy bubble and are susceptible to that bubble breaking.
