We must have had hundreds of books, at least in all the houses, and that's a tradition that I've carried forward in my own home. So that's followed me, got to high school. I have a very strong philosophical difference with the way high schools curriculums are constructed. Specifically, certain classes I believe to be irrelevant to the real world. The same thing with college, by the way. So I'm not picking on high school here, but I've always had these differences

That's the main consistent because either people are staying the same, which is kind of like treading water, or they're regressing or going in a negative direction, or they're progressing. So though, yeah, that's been my impression. Hey
I don't know if we should throw out all of history, because if we throw it all out, there are some things actually, I'm arguing with myself now. I have this book I bought. I haven't read it yet, but it says something. If the title is something like Why We Don't Learn from History, I suppose I should really read this before any comments, but part of me thinks, how can we not learn from it?

I can't remember how he put it, but it had to do with finances, health care, and education. And if you can limit those things, then you can automatically you have control. And that's essentially what's happened anyway with that kind of history

I think they're answering the question, what is it like to fight the US. Military? And they were just like, It's an absolute nightmare. You need to choose story, General, to approve a military strike in the Iraq military. And the Americans, an infantry man can call in an artillery strike or an airstrike. They didn't last very long in conventional warfare with us

You. And also unlike a lot of unfortunately, a lot of Americans who are just really poorly educated, which is a disturbing amount of us, I think it's patriotic to critique one's country. They believe the opposite, unfortunately, with every fiber of their being because, so to speak, because they're incredibly ignorant. And well, as I say, ignorance is its own reward and it's also a reward that everyone else is gifted with because they're loud and they vote
