Proposal For A New College Course

"What Went Wrong?"

In this course we will study global

history beginning with the industrial

revolution. The purpose of this course

is to understand how and why Homo

Sapiens fucked up to the point of

destroying the species, and if remedial

action could save the planet. We will

examine the advertising industry as a

function that sells without moral

constraints and as the driving force

behind the cult of materialism and the

metastasizing of the American Dream. 

We will examine how this sickness has

infected every aspect of public life;

education, government, sports, the arts,

and public opinion. What if anything can

be done to reverse the brainwashing?

We will examine the phenomenon of 

Donald Trump, and how his campaign 

has exposed this sickness that threatens 

the existence of intelligent life on the earth.
