Episode #8:The Herd Mentality in Society and the American Education System
from Intellectual Freedom Podcast · host David D. Hopkins, PhD
Society functions at its optimal level when nearly all people are conformists. This is a sad fact that those in power understand. Modern civilization needs many sheep but very few shepherds. Too many free-thinkers are dangerous to the status quo. Thus, those that have power tend to manipulate the instruments of influence, the media, public institutions, social media, in a way to keep the majority of people complacent, even blissfully happy following along ‘the narrative’ the rich and powerful want. This podcast discusses who are most susceptible to conformity, how the education system in America breeds conformity, and finally tools on how to reach intellectual and personal freedom in modern culture.Send us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
