I have a lot of intelligent employees who are unfortunately brainwashed at this point. It’s mind boggling. The only hope for change is an asteroid, tidal wave, or nuke.

Because they don’t understand. Stupid people don’t know they are stupid anymore. It’s really quite amazing.

That's a bit much, especially considering all the Leftist economic policies of Trump that were/are defended by his fans.
You are walking talking straw man. Ironically, your answer illustrates the answer to the OPs question. People avoid critical thinking, and settle on the first available answer, regardless if it answers the question actually being asked. Further, People do not listen to others questions before they answer, they are just waiting to talk, and steer the conversation to a place they are comfortable, which usually involves seeking backup (or in your case, finding an answer that you know others will challenge and back up, creating a melee where the argument that focuses on action rather than strategy, ie Internet Rambo Syndrome)

See I disagree. That sounds horrible. In a world where there are no poor or no inferior people, then there is nothing to drive humanity or even the individual to strive for betterment.
I’m glad there was a time in my life I was poor. It pushed me to do the things I needed to improve myself so that I could move into a better economic position. It also has made me very appreciative of the things I have earned. Being inferior to others in certain skills made me want to practice those skills to improve to the best of my abilities.

I think I got downvoted by an idiot who memorized and "test banked" his way through school.

You answered your own question.
Human nature is conditioned to embrace the here and now, short-term reality. In spite of all this high-and-mighty "concern" about "our grandkids generation", that's not how we're designed to think. Even useful inventions, and innovations, like IT and communication technology, were created to satisfy immediate needs.

Good luck. Its been infiltrated top to bottom. No institution has been more infiltrated and occupied by marxists than the education system. Would take decades.
John Dewey who was the "sponsor" and character reference for the little cabalists who sought political sanctuary here from their previous ideological playground in Weimar, would later be entrusted to formulate and write the approach this country would take to public education.
As far back as 1916 he offered this gem from his Democracy and Education:
There is always a danger that increased personal independence will decrease the social capacity of an individual.... It often makes an individual so insensitive in his relations to others as to develop an illusion of being really able to stand and act alone———an unnamed form of insanity which is responsible for a large part of the remedial suffering of the world.
From his first ever Humanist Manifesto in 1933, he called for the "synthesizing of all religions" and "a socialized and cooperative economic order."
Later he volunteered as a character reference for Alger Hiss during his trial for espionage.
It's been around and festering for a very long time.
To uproot it would take at a minimum an entire generation of full focus and application.

This is just right leaning poli board groupthink.

Ain’t no “like” about it, they are under a spell. My son texted me that another student at his high school offed himself. Then said it was a tranny. Then my naive arse, ask my daughter, ‘they have trannys in high school?’ She said it was rampant. I naively thought there was an outlier here and there, didn’t know there are clusters.

Twice as many kids are trans now.
And I get twice as many could be anything. But my assumption is it wasn’t just 1 and now there are 2.

Is highly revered in Education. In fact, I think he was one of the first I learned about in Educational Psychology.

Embrace the here and now by making you pay for something from 400 years ago.
Makes perfect sense, or this really isn’t it is it?

If it props up a System/Culture that does not hold individuals personally accountable for their "character" (MLK's judgment criteria), the yes, that System will "doom" the society therein.
Empathy is also a human trait. Try it sometime.
And if we're talking biblical quotes, you'd best remember the one about camels and eyes of needles.

I’ve never heard this before. Thanks for sharing.
