Current Events > Do you ever ask yourself, "How COULD it come to this?"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes, I'm talking about the political climate. Just think about it. There are so many educated people in government in various positions. With this sort of nucleus, how could civilization ever spin this far out of control to the point that a guy could get elected simply because he's rich and famous? How could media companies not figure out how to make Donald Trump irrelevant? How could they not be scared of the potential repercussions? You know how this could happen? It's because success in academia still heavily favors rich people. And rich people have no connection to what it means to take a real risk, or to feel despair and heavy stress. They don't get it. They're less human. Education without these additional human experiences does not allow for meaning to blossom. Facts mean less to them. So again, they don't get it.

To be fair, although Trump went to Wharton School of Business, he only got a Baechlor's degree, and a business degree at that. Not exactly something that creates morally good people.

no I talk about "how did it come to this" when my housemate locked me out of the house after I threw popcorn every where in an inebriated state.
