   Decades of ruining the public education system.

   You are confusing knowledge with wisdom.   
      
   "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.  Wisdom is not putting it in a   
   fruit salad."   
      
   Self-awareness, critical thinking.  These things are needed.  You can pack tons   
   of facts into someone's head, but you can't make him think.  Ex: most college   
   professors.

   Subversion of the public schools.  You start with 4 generations ago and dumb   
   them down a bit.  They can't see that they are dumb, so they allow their   
   children to get dumbed down even more.   
      
   Then you focus on young women so that they don't have children.  I think   
   Brittany Hughes (MRCtv) pointed this out.  If you take away children, women   
   focus their "nurturing" energies elsewhere.  And being able to be manipulated   
   by the "crowd", they can be manipulated into nuturing people who will kill (and   
   worse) them.   
      
   You then end up with a bunch of LARPers, who live in a delusion in which they   
   are the main character.  And they lack the self-awareness andn critical   
   thinking skills to self-correct.
