By keeping the masses away from philosophy and philosophical reflection they keep people from even realizing how corrupt authority is. For example, they tell us that hypotheses or theories are factual simply because experts agree and the masses eat it up because they don’t realize that appealing to authority is a logical fallacy.

They have people basically convinced that philosophy is some antiquated field because we now have science. But philosophy is the only tool we have to rationally evaluate non empirical claims. People are convinced that STEM is the only way to learn to think in university, but even if someone is a god of mathematics they don’t think at the highest level, they seldom think at the philosophical level, which suits the ruling class just fine. Too much critical thinking is a danger to them if people start realizing the entire political, economic and social system is set up so people happily earn money for them, giving up their prime years, and saving up and retiring when they are old and almost dead. Their new scam since 2020 is to kill the old and disabled since they cannot work in the farm like cattle and so no money goes to them after they die.

Some old people planned to finally retire after saving and investing capital all these years, but to the NWO they served their purpose and are unneeded.
