Terrible experiences pose the riddle whether the person who has them is not terrible.

When I entered Virginia Tech and attended classes, I was immediately struck by the total lack of grounding students had in history, even basic knowledge about the world. It was not a question of lapses or holes in their knowledge. These kids really knew nothing.
But Virginia Tech is essentially two schools.
There is a math and science school, sustained by government research grants, and populated largely by students who have immigrated and were unable to get into a better school.
The other school is a backwater (humanities, etc)
Peopled mainly by white kids brought in by a clean sweep of an area with a three-hundred mile radius, these kids ended up at Virginia Tech because their grades in high school were nominally better than those of their peers. They are at Virginia Tech to get a degree in an empty subject ? like English ? and enjoy four years of partying hard.
The first school of the hard sciences
constitutes a kind of dispirited elite nursing a hidden secret.
The second school is what Virginia Tech has traditionally been: a farm school. Until recently, a photo could be seen on the university website of a smiling girl kneeling next to a cow.
elite nursing a hidden secret --> C.P.SNOW
Charles Percy Snow CBE (15 October 1905 ? 1 July 1980), who was raised to the peerage as Baron Snow, of the City of Leicester, was an English chemist and novelist who also served in several important positions in the British Civil Service and briefly in the UK government.[1] He is best known for his series of novels known collectively as "Strangers and Brothers", and for "The Two Cultures", a 1959 lecture in which
he laments the gulf between scientists and "literary intellectuals".
In East Coast universities terminology -->
The gulf between Norris Hall engineering and the English department, humanities, social sciences, philosophy,etc
The term two cultures has become a shorthand in certain academic circles for differences between two attitudes;
Snow's position can be summed up by an often-repeated part of the essay:
A good many times I have been present at gatherings of people who, by the standards of the traditional culture, are thought highly educated and who have with considerable gusto been expressing their incredulity at the illiteracy of scientists. Once or twice I have been provoked and have asked the company how many of them could describe theSecond Law of Thermodynamics. The response was cold: it was also negative. Yet I was asking something which is the scientific equivalent of: Have you read a work of Shakespeare?s?[5]
I now believe that if I had asked an even simpler question ? such as, What do you mean by mass, oracceleration, which is the scientific equivalent of saying, Can you read? ? not more than one in ten of the highly educated would have felt that I was speaking the same language. So the great edifice of modern physics goes up, and the majority of the cleverest people in the western world have about as much insight into it as their neolithic ancestors would have had.[5]
In 2008, The Times Literary Supplement included The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution in its list of the 100 books that most influenced Western public discourse since the Second World War.[2]
Snow's Rede Lecture condemned the British educational system as having, since the Victorian era, over-rewarded the humanities (especially Latin and Greek) at the expense of scientific and engineering education......

This paper uses the SYMBOL PROCESSORS that describe the Earthly universe AND and its contents.

In year 2014 ..... the TALE of 2 Cities provides an accurate perception of existence on EARTH.
1) physical existence of biology human beings, lumber houses, I-beams of iron/ cement/ glass office buildings, 4-wheeled automobiles with gasoline engines, etc
2) SYMBOL MACHINE existence ..... cities of black ink symbols and concepts --> chemistry books, computer manuals, college textbooks on electronics, books of algebra equations, etc.,
Thus we have modern view of EARTH ..... a symbol universe that physical biology humans live within. Humans are considered subsets ...... living within.... embedded within Nature's symbol universe.

Above, we see a ladder ..... levels of thought and perception ..... like floors in a skyscraper building ..... instead this a SYMBOL and LANGUAGE skyscraper.
It is important .. that even thou you may do most of your SYMBOL thinking and job work at some level ..... that you can CONNECT (if needed) to the other levels.
What happens is ..... that because of television and other programs ... that are used to slowly program the human brain computer ...... certain ideas and concepts can be implanted into your subconscious MIND and slowly ... over 20 or 30 years .. take over your mind.
If the implanted ideas are okay, no problem.
If the implanted ideas, promote arrogance or a myopic view ...... then an individual can acquire those brain attitude features without being consciously aware of that process.
Thus groups of people, that think alike .. whether a religious group, a university department or a government agency ..... can be vulnerable to that problem process ... because everyone in the group has the same "school of thought" or "frame of reference'.
Thus, someone ... who thinks outside the box ... is sometimes needed to "Rock the Boat" ..... so the sedated group wakes up ... and re-established a more "down to EARTH" frame of reference. Thus... in a sense .. we see Einstein's theory of relative VIEWING positions applied to social psychology, etc.
