I'm all for learning humanities from a non-woke non-Marxist perspective, but when you say everyone "must learn humanities," they're going to run off to the nearest college, and instead of actually learning humanities, they'll be turn into leftist activists.

I didn’t say you needed credentials or degrees in humanities. But an appreciation.

Here you go, https://libgen.is

Download Sir Gawain and The Green Knight and read it.

Are you using a VPN ?

Of course!

Then it means this mirror was taken down… what a tragedy.

To me I think age and support is the issue. Kids are vulnerable. Most kids are told they need to make the decision on college at 16-17, idk about you but I was all alone in that decision, and I had 0 appreciation for arts or humanities. Personal life was tough at that age, it was the only thing on my mind, I was just working construction after school to make enough money to get out of the mess I was in. At 18 you have no skills, no support, no money, no one wants to hire you, what do you do? Someone offers you a way out you take it. I was not special, many kids had the same experience. Many drop out and entered the labor force.

I don't think college alone turns kids into Marxists. Not being exposed tough real life problems to occupy your time and being told "this is the way the world works" in a classroom vs experiencing how the world works before going into a classroom.
