I recently revisited your site and got over the article where BM is stating:
It is not their fault; the human mind does not intrinsically
have an understanding of deductive logic and predicate calculus.
Going with accuracy "to the bone" - that statement
is false: the human mind does have those abilities (but, in biology,
"you use it or you loose it"). I found very useful the lecture of
Steven Pinker, The Blank Slate, it's complementary to the picture coming out of
your articles on this site and might even put some "pink" in it.

Well, the human mind may possess that intrinsic potential,
but it must be developed, by education and socialization, and certainly
parts of logic are not intuitive. Since that increasingly does not happen—and
intentionally so—using it is dangerous to those who own a country—we're down to
"losing it", which makes BM’s point valid for all practical purposes.
Ed. Note: Even a
casual observer should discern the dismissal of reason and knowledge by, and
the dumbing down of the American society, and the decay process it produces.

Market Based Education, and Lenin, Trotsky, and the
Freedom from the Tyranny of Reason and Knowledge.
