Abandoning reason - Education designed to deform.

Abandoning Reason investigates how modern schooling was redesigned to blunt a child’s power of thought. Drawing on Ayn Rand’s critique of Progressive pedagogy, Leonard Peikoff’s landmark lectures (“Why Johnny Can’t Think,” Philosophy of Education), essays by Roberto Rachewsky, and other Objectivist voices, the show traces a clear chain: Dewey’s pragmatism (as a solvent of principles) → teacher-college methods that replace concept-formation with “social adjustment” → Frankfurt and postmodern theories that turn truth into narrative → institutional capture that swaps merit for demographic engineering. Along the way, we examine how DEI bureaucracies politicize curricula, why campuses punish dissent while calling it “safety,” and how “science by consensus” bleeds into climate and COVID debates. Each episode pairs history and philosophy with concrete classroom practice—what to teach, how to teach it, and how to rebuild a school that serves reality, reason, the individual mind, and individual rights.
