I want to think critically and independently about this video, but I went to public school in the U.S. and am incapable of thinking or acting differently than my schoolmaster would have wished. I am merely a mindless, thoughtless tool of the state like all other Americans who went to public school. Long live dear leader!

Doesn't seem like the uploader of this video is active anymore, so I'll say this here just in case:

Our channel is an activist group looking for an education reform, and this video would be VERY helpful. I wish to reupload this on our page some time in the future, and will credit ExistentialPilot for it. I'll remove it if problems concerning ownership occurs.

Anyway, it's a great video and I hope to share it further.

This is spot on. The American people are one of the most ignorant and superficial group of people on the planet. It doesn't matter how much information you give them, a massive % are incapable of thinking outside of the box and are devoid of critical thinking skills. They are incapable of reading and rationalizing information and have a collective amnesia of history and all things important. They are more in tune with reality TV, American Idol, and professional sports than reality itself.

@charlesdarwin321 Leader in science and technology coz after ww2 operation paperclip took all the nazi scientists and bought them to the US. They set up nasa and the CIA. As for the universities they just target ur left brain get u to use ur left side of the brain thats what their education is based at. Just to get u trapped in the economic prison that enslaves us by money. They dont teach u about spirituality or respect for mother earth just make as much cash as u can regardless how u do it

@ExistentialPilot Thanks; didn't know you still read these comments after posting the video in 2008.

@Brevinlokai as an american im offended but yet you are oh so correct, most people have no clue who even founded our country, its worse than you think haha

Excellent video. I did not know that our education system was based on the Prussians. I think I'll go research that a bit more. I might be able to use this on a research paper or something.

Well delivered facts in a consistent manner, and did not display any antagonism towards anyone that I could see. Certainly gives food for thought, though.

@Brevinlokai Would you please stop generalizing us Americans? I am an American who does not enjoy reality television, American Idol, or pro sports, and I am perfectly capable of reading and rationalizing information. Now, I do agree that I am an exception rather than a rule (I have met many people that are just....well, let's just say they are not as open-minded and clear-thinking as I am) but I do know that some of us are perfectly capable of being intelligent and thinking things through.
