Why Are Americans So Bloody Stupid?
Taboo Education – Let’s Talk Death May 8, 2026 The world constantly looks at the United States and asks one question: “How did they get so dumb?” But the truth is much darker. Americans aren’t naturally stupid – their system was meticulously engineered over 200 years to destroy critical thinking. Today, we’re looking at the “engineered ignorance” of the American public. From importing a 19th-century Prussian military school model specifically to mass-produce obedient factory workers, to the 1950s Red Scare that literally labeled “critical thinking” as Communist propaganda. And the wildest part? America is actively exporting this hyper-narcissistic, tribal dysfunction – from the prosperity gospel to toxic internet culture wars – straight to the rest of the world.

Astrology and Science, Part II, with Arthur M. Young (1905 – 1995)
New Thinking Allowed with Jeffrey Mishlove Aug 14, 2026 This video is a special release from the original Thinking Allowed series that ran on public television from 1986 until 2002. It was recorded around 1990. It will remain public for only one week. The late Arthur M. Young was the inventor of the Bell Helicopter. He was also founder of the Institute for the Study of Consciousness in Berkeley, California, and author of The Reflexive Universe and The Geometry of Meaning. Here, Young elaborates on the difference between the planets Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, explaining how the planetary cycles of Saturn have had significance in his own life. He discusses the use of progressed charts in astrology from the perspective of systems theory in which whole cycles are embedded within each other. Astrology, he suggests, is a larger, more comprehensive system than science. Scientists can benefit from studying it regardless of its application in individual horoscopes.

Featured Books from New Thinking Allowed
Arthur Young conceived of The Geometry of Meaning as an essay in philosophy, but philosophy in the older sense, encompassing the natural sciences, exploring the implications of science, and dealing with the relationship of the knower and the known. At the heart of this book is what he called the “Rosetta Stone of meaning,” a diagram of relationships based upon the twelve measure formulae of modern physics, which he used to describe the interaction of mind with matter.
Over a period of years Betty J. Kovács, her husband and their son experienced dreams and visions of future events that completely changed their lives. They learned that life and death, sorrow and joy, and matter and spirit are inseparably intertwined. Every page of this testament to life loosens our grip on the imagination and opens us to dimensions of the mind that speak in images, metaphors and symbols.
Dr. David Hanscom explains the physiology of mental pain and presents a unique four-part “dynamic healing” program to help your brain regenerate and repair. The key is learning to regulate your nervous system by cultivating what he calls “safety physiology.”
Google AI on Wetiko
- Google AI
Wetiko (also spelled windigo or wendigo) is an Algonquian-rooted concept describing an evil, cannibalistic spirit or destructive force driven by insatiable greed, selfish consumption, and a total disconnect from community and nature. In modern psychological and spiritual contexts, it is widely interpreted as a contagious “mind-virus” or collective psychosis that compels humans to act against their own best interests. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Traditional Origin
- Cannibalistic Spirit: In Algonquin, Cree, and Ojibwe traditions, wetiko represents a monster or spirit embodying greed, excess, and a literal or figurative “heart of ice”. [1, 2, 3, 4]
- Behavioral Warning: Legends warned that individuals who gave in to extreme selfishness, gluttony, or harm toward their tribe could become possessed or transformed by the wetiko force. [1]
Modern Psychospiritual Interpretation
- The Mind-Virus: Authors like Paul Levy and indigenous scholars like Jack Forbes describe wetiko as an invisible, contagious psychic parasite. [1, 2, 3]
- Core Traits: It manifests as consumption for the sake of consumption, systemic exploitation, environmental destruction, and an egocentric illusion of absolute separation from others. [1]
- The Antidote: Writers on the subject emphasize that recognizing wetiko within our own blind spots and unconscious reactions is the first step toward breaking its cycle. [1, 2, 3]
In the context of modern capitalism, scholars and activists use wetiko as a conceptual lens to critique systemic exploitation, viewing hyper-accelerated globalized capitalism not just as an economic structure, but as the ultimate institutionalized manifestation of the wetiko “mind-virus.” [1, 2, 3, 4]
When applied to modern market systems, the concept highlights several structural parallels:
Insatiable Growth
- Endless Accumulation: Capitalism’s core imperative is continuous, infinite growth. This directly mirrors the wetiko monster’s defining curse: the more it consumes, the larger, hungrier, and more desperate it becomes. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Consumption as Salvation: Culturally, the system encourages consumerism as a fix-all solution for human discontent, equating personal value with material possession. [1, 2]
Commercial “Cannibalism”
- Life as a Commodity: Indigenous scholar Jack Forbes defined cannibalism under wetiko as “the consuming of another’s life for one’s private purpose or profit.” [1, 2]
- Exploitation: Under this framework, transforming natural ecosystems into dead commodities (ecocide) and reducing human time, health, and labor to mere line-item expenses are seen as forms of systemic cannibalism. [1, 2]
Institutionalized Blindness
- Externalized Harms: Modern market mechanics separate consumers from the consequences of their purchases (e.g., hidden environmental degradation or sweatshop labor). This distance numbs social accountability.
- Amputated Empathy: The classic wetiko symptom—an “icy heart”—is institutionalized when corporations are legally obligated to prioritize quarterly profit and shareholder returns over community wellbeing or ecological safety. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Alternative Vision
Writers like Alnoor Ladha and Paul Levy argue that to fix global crises, we must look beyond policy tweaks. They advocate for: [1, 2]
- “Undreaming” the System: Seeing the global economy as a collective psychological projection rather than an unchangeable law of nature.
- Shifting the Goal: Moving from extractive economics to reciprocal, sustainable systems modeled on Indigenous stewardship. [1]
Op-Ed: A Modest Proposal for a More Group-Centered Prosperos
(Image from warblerpress.com)
By Mike Zonta, BB editor
Rotating Deans
One clear way to lessen our leadership-centered leadership model is to rotate the Deanship of the school on a yearly basis among the three elected members of the Executive Council. Too often we confuse the person with the role. Rotating the Deanship will lessen that expectation on the part of the student body and on the part of the Dean him- or herself.
Give Robert the Boot
This is a quote from The Prosperos publication called ““Group Leadership and the Art of Leadership”
“Efficiency of operation requires that there be agreed-upon rules of operation. The standard method of solving this problem, that of parliamentary procedures [Robert’s Rules], is seldom satisfactory in group-centered groups. It tends to introduce an element of stiffness that destroys the climate of warm informality. It disrupts group unity. In general, no decision is completely satisfactory unless it has been reached by consensus. If for some reason it becomes necessary take a vote, it should be done with the greatest respect to the position of the minority.”
The trustees, the High Watch and the Mentor’s Association should drop Robert’s Rules immediately. Let’s trust each other enough to be able to run these meetings without Robert or his rules.
Group Observers
Most of our trustee, High Watch and Mentor’s Association meetings open with an invocation. As a reminder of our efforts to be more group-centered, we should close each meeting with an observer’s report. We have lots of practice doing this in our Find Yourself and Live listening and dialogue groups. So let’s put that training to good use.
If any of these ideas go against The Prosperos charter or by-laws, it’s within our power to change that charter or those by-laws.
