      I guarantee you shenanigans like this are NOT exclusive to private schools. I bet many other people share my experience where their school seemingly had limitless funds for athletics, usually football, but would pinch pennies for anyone else. Most clubs, extra-curriculars, or non-athletic electives like band basically had to fund themselves.
      They also sat on their hands for books, supplies, and those things, but would upgrade the stadium, scoreboard, snack bars, field, PA systems, and bleachers every couple years. To make matters worse, the school tightened rules on fundraisers, limiting the ways to get funding for the ones that need it most. They still get by, but it's just extra hassle for no reason.

    Critical thinking was taught to me in school pretty much my entire highschool time. I have a much harder time believing anyone at face value I tend make sure its backed up by research and such instead of just believing them. I tend to make sure I find multiple sources and try to see both sides of an arguement, some people seem to refuse to even listen to another side just because they think of them as "the enemy" so to say. Automatically putting them a group thats "stupid" or "uneducated" when really its better if you listen in my opinion to the other side and see why they're wrong not just dismissing them automatically.

      Always presume ignorance as well. Many people have a bad habit of acting like they know exactly what someone is talking about and what point they're trying to make... But really they just aren't listening carefully and are hearing what they want to hear to make a point they want to make.

    You should do a video on Edward Bernays. He was a nephew of Freuds that applied his uncles principles to found the field of public relations. He's not very well known to the general public, but if you read up on him you'll realize that he pretty blatantly admits that he figured out how to weaponize principles of mass/group psychology for the benefit of advertizers, politicians and corporations. He was the one that initiated the shift from a needs based method towards a desire based method of advertizing that is at the root of today's consumerist culture. He might legitimately be one of the most impactful people of the 20th century that no one's ever heard of.

    The USSR under Stalin is an interesting case study, a nation under siege that had been in active war from 1914 too 1921 and then invaded by its newest neighbor who held a grued, Poland. It was a nation hated by all other that attempted too remain open under Lennin. Once Stalin took over however, he used the desperation, the destruction of what little Imperial Russia had and the creation of the world as its enemy too create a devoted and desperate following.

    What I took from the video is that you can be “brainwashed” by anything with information and a message, it’s sort of human nature in a weird way, to centralize around a figure, it could have contributed to the success to our species, but nonetheless malevolent, not that everything that you are influence by is bad but if you use that aspect of our mentality for your groups gain.

    Interesting claim that man used to think in entirely personal value or that this reflected rational and collective values, but the shift from local to global absolutely comes with trade offs. Still, I’m inclined to be skeptical of worldviews that call back to a golden past. New media makes the process easier and larger in scale no doubt, but this happened long before in analogue via old media and memetic beliefs. It’s all the same stuff baby

      It certainly seems like a large amount of contradictions, but they also allow us to break out of cycles and check on what we're doing. On the other hand, breaking free and navigating to new systems leaves us vulnerable to suggestion, too.
