Are we heading into some anti-enlightenment territory now?
which had little to do with practical, down to earth helping the poor
reading, as I said, was not *that* useful to many
yet it was thought to them instead of other things
because some bourgeois decided it was important
Dude you do realize that the primary reason peadents were not hired in factories and the likes was because they were considered too stupid, right?
in his worldview
Learning how to read was essential in order to acquire knowledge
you don need much bookish knowledge to work in a Ford T factory
It's okay to have ideological positions yano
it is
Especially at a time where books represented the gateway to financial success for the average middle class individual
I'm talking abotu the poor
not the middle class
Haha
The westerner needs to have da science behind him
The poor were transformed into middle class citizens by mass industrialization
I think you're reading WAY more then you should into my statements...
Which also brought higher literacy rates
So he will turn the cat tailwise if he has to
Beacuse the government was forcing people to learn how to read
it didn;t\
the state school system did
Because they needed a workforce
Go figure
again
you don;t need to learn to read to work in a Ford T factory
this is nonsense

yo guys where can I get an invite to this discord
You think you need to know how to read to do most physical jobs today?
no
you totally do not
there is a reason ppl don;t read book nowadays
and the upper middle class is reeing about it
we will see tomorrow i guess
as a side note: the idea that the Enlightenment was somehow a movement intent on '"freeing" the oppressed underclass is revisionist history
