#1 Well-educated people are critical thinkers, and they can contribute to society in many ways. However, today’s education system is not prepared to lead productive and fulfilling lives.

#2 Colleges and universities used to be places where students learned to listen to different points of view, but in recent years, safe spaces have become more and more common. This makes it extremely difficult to listen to others, as it becomes almost impossible to disagree or consider any other point of view.

#3 The drug companies invested huge amounts of money into lobbying and funding members of Congress, which allowed them to block any legislation that would have negatively affected their sales.

#4 The American Medical Association, the Federation of State Medical Boards, and the Joint Commission all took money from Purdue Pharma to promote the safe use of opioid drugs for chronic pain.
