My dad always told me to be careful when I went to college because the liberal professors would try to tell me what to think, which was one of the big reasons he quit college after a year.

When I actually went to college, I realized they weren’t trying to teach me what to think, but how to think. College tries to teach you how to recognize whether everything you’ve been taught to think growing up is logical and rational, or if you were just accepting as truth ideas that are lies.

College is like being in Plato’s cave, and the professors are the ones who have already realized the shadows on the wall aren’t reality, trying to convince others that there’s a beautiful and real world outside the cave. It’s the mental equivalent of being a firefighter, constantly running back into the flames to pull people out.

It’s no wonder republicans don’t trust colleges. If everyone went to college and listened to its lessons, everyone would be using their brain the vote, using their brain to recognize the need for a national Election Day, using their brain to recognize gerrymandering for the oppression that it is, using their brain to realize the huge conflict of interest that private prisons are, using their brain to recognize the oppression of incriminating and then taking away their right to vote as a result and how that could just be a way to keep those who might disagree with you from voting, using their brain to recognize that a national healthcare situation in which people refuse medical attention in emergency situations because the debt might cripple them for life is fundamentally broken, using their brain to recognize that having no limits on campaign contributions sells our nation to the highest bidder, using their brain to recognize that public policy that congress exempts itself from is probably bad public policy, and using their brain to recognize that we a a nation can’t succeed unless we all do and that the poor and the sick and the weak and the hungry aren’t the enemy.
