There is a deep fear of responsibility and being wrong that is beaten into Americans from childhood. No one wants to be the one at fault, so they always defer to authority. It makes them into very compliant workers who also need constant supervision. People are so poorly educated they are often incapable of doing anything without direct instruction, including answering simple questions. It's real fucked up here and this podcast made me shake with rage at how much more fucked up it is for kids now. I'm just thankful my mom took an active role in my education and taught me phonics, reading, and basic math before kindergarten.
