Welcome back to No! But Seriously… Let Me Explain…, the podcast where curiosity stays loud and critical thinking refuses to sit quietly in cute corners.

In today’s episode, we’re unpacking one of the most uncomfortable conversations people love to avoid: Do you think school was designed to educate you?

Think again. This episode "No Thinkers Required: Why the System Works Better When You Don’t Question It" dives deep into the hidden blueprint of the modern education system; from bells and rows to grades and compliance. We’ll expose how public schooling evolved less to unlock brilliance and more to produce workers who obey.

We’re unpacking:

🔥 Why critical thinking was quietly removed from the curriculum

🔥 How schooling ended up looking like factories and prisons

🔥 The real role of money, power, and influence in shaping what we call “education”

🔥 Why self-education is the true revolution

By the end, you’ll never look at a bell schedule or a standardized test the same way again.

This isn’t conspiracy, this is history with receipts.

Turn it up. Take notes. Get woke. Something has been taught… but it wasn’t you.
