미국인들은 하루 평균 10 시간 이상을 매체에 접속하고 있다. 교육도 문제지만, 청소년들이 책을 읽지 않고 오락에 빠져 있다는 게 문제이다.

 

아래 수학 교육의 변천 역시 재미 있다. 마치 공산 사회처럼, 수학이 좌파적 가치를 주입하는 수단이 되었다.

How America became 'exceptional'...

Of course, as we noted previously, our system of education is not entirely to blame. The truth is that young Americans spend far more time consuming media than they do hitting the books, and what passes for “entertainment” these days is rapidly turning their brains to mush.

 

According to a report put out by Nielsen, this is how much time the average American spends consuming media on various devices each day…

 

Watching live television: 4 hours, 32 minutes

 

Watching time-shifted television: 30 minutes

 

Listening to the radio: 2 hours, 44 minutes

 

Using a smartphone: 1 hour, 33 minutes

 

Using Internet on a computer: 1 hour, 6 minutes

 

When you add it all up, the average American spends more than 10 hours a day plugged into some form of media.

 

And if you allow anyone to pump “programming” into your mind for 10 hours a day, it is going to have a dramatic impact.

 

In the end, I truly believe that we all greatly underestimate the influence that the mainstream media has on all of us. We willingly plug into “the Matrix” for endless hours, but then somehow we still expect “to think for ourselves”.

 

There are very few of us that can say that we have not been exposed to thousands upon thousands of hours of conditioning. And all of that garbage can make it very, very difficult to think clearly.

 

It is not because of a lack of input that we have become so stupid as a society. The big problem is what we are putting into our minds.

 

If we continue to put garbage in, we are going to continue to get garbage out, and that is the cold, hard reality of the matter.
