Conservatives have been trying to kill #humanities #education for decades--billionaires and other power-hungry people want a world filled with skilled technical workers who are unable to meaningfully assess, change, or even imagine realistic alternatives to the system that keeps the rich and powerful rich and powerful.

It has occurred to me that #philosophy, often a punching bag for right-wing influencers, is a key area: Right-wing populism (e.g., Trump) relies on fucking up epistemology for hundreds of millions of people. The last thing Musk, Bezos, Zuck, Trump, Putin, Erdogan, et al. want is for their supporters to actually learn how to evaluate sources of knowledge.

@guyjanticDifferent Than @Em0nM4stodonEm that‘s why they hype AI so much (amongst others). They think, they won‘t need educated workers anymore once AI does all the „thinking“. And it will never question their overlords, because it can‘t think.
