On Some People, Education is Wasted

I’m beginning to think that on some people, education is wasted. Charley Reese a long time ago said something much like, “If by education you mean only teaching people how to read, then all you will have done is create a market for trash literature.” We can see the same result in employees — if they have only learned how to read, and have not been morally educated, then their behavior is still like that of animals.

The Pirate Cove has this ironic morsel here.

In what sane world does a librarian reject a gift of books? The purpose of a library is to collect books! The purpose of a librarian is to gather and preserve books! But in liberal land, the point of anything is to make it political so you can have your five seconds of fame, I guess. In such a place and time, consistency is only a hindrance and he who is the most offended wins. Yet like I wrote here, what is there really to be offended about anymore? The ceaseless dins of alarm have made us all deaf. What this silly little educrat has done is no different than the million simultaneous protests over imagined horrors and microagressions and legacies and so many other inconsequential things.

Educating the insane is a waste of money. If you are constantly freaking out about things in your imagination, you are insane. If you are obsessed with getting your five seconds of fame, you are insane. Someone call the nice men in the white coats for this person. She needs industrial-grade help.
