people strongly disagreeing with you does not equal people being rude or judgemental. which are these books that i haven't read that i am supposed to have commented on? you haven't mentioned any books - this is precisely the problem!
what theories have i commented on without knowing about them? fluorescent lights? faraday cages? you know, i suppose you could say that i haven't studied them, as you consider "good" and "worthy" education to be meritless. do, please, show me these studies that explain fluorescent lights or faraday cages in any other way than that in which i have done.
and here you go again, suggesting i have something to protect! i haven't finished my degree yet, i have no vested interests in ensuring that people remain "asleep", but i ***do ***have an interest in ensuring the future success of the human population, which means that we need scientists and philosophers educated to a high standard, the current delivery system and assesment of that standard, being universities. care to suggest somewhere else completely not linked to universities that i could learn about electromagnetism or quantum physics? ah, fuck, shit, thats right, all our knowledge of these things came from people studying in universities. better rethink that one. where do you think we are going to get the knowledge to combat the (imagined and real) environmental disasters that you predict?
what does constitute thinking for you then? (serious question) maths for example. it's black and white (for the most part). it is apolitical. it is factual. how else would you suggest that pure maths be taught, except from an agreed list of authoritative texts?
if you consistently used anyone as a source, we would all be happier. why is chomsky a respected philosopher and political activist? because what he writes has actual merit, is well argued (i.e. consistent and evidenced), and not based on spurious facts, but actual truth! this is a non-point, because of course we would respect your arguments more *if you used authoritative sources.
*edit: in between all your posts, there has been some good discussion of anarchism, so why are you assessing that it is a subject matter that i do not like? check the first page of this thread. i supplied links as requested by the OP, why did i know of these links? because i have an interest in anarchism, but not with the pseudo-scientific babble that so often accompanies and obscures left-wing ideologies.
