How to Detect the Lies That Are Tearing Our Society Apart

- Wilfred Reilly, author of "Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me," unpacks how we've been taught to believe complete myths about our history. He emphasizes the importance of going straight to the source and checking the data for yourself. If we trust the average person to serve on a jury, we can certainly trust them to use critical thinking to draw their own informed conclusions about the world. Wilfred illustrates how deeply ingrained myths can become, referencing popular narratives about Native American cultures, the Red Scare, and more.

Thank you! I'm going to share this with my 16yo daughter, who is a full time homeschooler, since the leftist ideology took over WA schools. Our main focus is critical thinking skills and civics this year.
I love listening to Reilly. He imparts such detailed knowledge so eloquently, yet efficiently! How does he do that?! His students are lucky. Good for them
This channel needs many more subscribers.
Listened to the Audible version of the book last month. It should be required reading (or listening). It is quite eye-opening.
Over 40 years ago Ronald Reagan presented it so well: “It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.”
Is the "right" always right? If not, what are they wrong about?
@@ShiniGuraiJoker It's more about perspective. The left values intentions over probable real outcomes (aka wishful thinking) and the right tends toward the pragmatic.
Great guest to have! Thanks for continuing to spread the knowledge we need
"Use common sense"
Ding ding ding
The further left feels that term is triggering.
It does seem rather 1984ish, complete with Newspeak, doublethink, ever present telescreens, the rewriting of history, thought police and other Ingsoc higher party tactics.
"Turn your cell phone off for 6 months."
Pre-ordering now.
I think 1 of the best things that can happen to any one is the realization that the system is full of lies. Critical thinking is useful and necessary it is in the modern world.
The difference between a lie and the truth is that the truth predicts the future.

Homeschool
You don't hide your kids away at home because you're afraid of bullies. You teach your kids to be strong and be capable of handling them, and they have gradual and slow exposure over the years to those types of people.
@@johnw574 It's not for the bullies that I say to homeschool
Our institutions ARE corrupt and things ARE pretty bad. The response to that SHOULD be to look to the people calling out that corruption and those lies. Also, one should get moderately angry and to strive for positive change.
Care to provide an example?
I don't believe that the majority of those who are repeating falsehoods are liars, some are. I believe most are ignorant and Dunning-Kruger plays a major role.
I have advocated this for years, but the word "lie" has incorrectly become synonymous with "wrong".
Being "wrong" means that one's statement is not factually correct.
"lying" means one knows, a priori, that one is making an incorrect statement, and is doing so to gain some sort of advantage.
The difference, isn't subtle, from a moral standpoint. The a priori part is of significant importance.
There are plenty of people who are simply wrong, be that due to lack of data, belief in what others have told them, embracing a specific ideology, etc.
This isn't a good thing, but as long as they don't believe what they are saying is false, they cannot be said to be "lying".
IMHO, this is not all that different than the fact that literally no longer literally means literality.
Language is a tool that helps us communicate our thoughts to other people. If two people don't have a common understanding of meanings and definitions of terms, then true communication is impossible.
The left has changed definitions also. That is part of their toolkit.
I am a professional archaeologist. My field is woke as F. I am an outlier in that I am not a Fan Boy of Native Americans.

Being Critical Thinking Lessons back! Who paid for it, who funded it, what do they have to gain, what do they have to loose, what points does the opposition have, are they using political or social bias, is it fact based or opinion base, does the Authur have ties financially or personal to the topic they are righting about, what are the things they don’t address.
Grandpa said it best: entertainment ain't truth - and if it isn't work, worship (rest), or education, it is entertainment.
I do not trust humanity to solve any of the worlds problems...on a personal level in my lifetime I've come in contact with people that i highly distrust simply from observing their actions...in the end i will never be disappointed by God...our Creator has infinitely more of everything that humanity will never have...never place your trust in humans only God.
I'm Native, born and raised on a reservation, and we definitely lived in better balance with nature than the industrious people that moved in. Natives worshipped nature, so that's a terrible argument to use. but the problem is that the nature worshippers of today think that trumps everything else. That fact alone makes Native Americans morally superior to people who don't worship nature, and worship God instead. How one treats nature is a small part of what makes a people virtuous, but the woke environmentalists of the day elevate it to the nth degree. There's a romanticism with Native Americans that almost strips us of our humanity. I tell people all the time, treat Natives like you would treat white conservative males. Treat Natives like regular fallen humanity.
With the rise of the internet and it's increasingly tight grip on what you watch/linger on PSYOPs have become increasingly effective. There are teams of very intelligent people backed by very deep pockets whose single goal is to find a way to make you subconsciously agree with what they are saying. It is not easy to keep your own council these days, because something you firmly perceive to be true one day can change overnight with realization of another opinion. I've always listened to news by first considering the source, and then considering who would benefit from it. I'll watch CNN and then cross check with FOX, for example. CNN will tell you the sky is Green, FOX will say it is purple and the truth is that it is Blue. The truth is out there....somewhere ~ Skully.
People interested in Native American interpersonal relationships in the pre-Columbian era should google "hobbling in early America." You might find something to read about the social role of hobbling and torture and the common violence in the prehistoric times.
Always remain the gray man you trust number 1 your self. Or pain is your best friend pain will never leave you if does leave what are you fucking dead. Trust nobody.
For centuries, slaves were the same race as their masters. African slavery was a big change
For centuries, Africans sailed to Europe and took slaves of different races. Africans kidnapped people from England, Ireland and from as far away as Iceland.
montreal - or not . That's a broad brush .
Old school honest scholarship. We may yet survive our temporary collective delusions.
I’ve always thought the best means of appraising the truth is an awareness of history and an honest understanding of human nature. So much of what the leftist industrial complex throws at us today flies in the face of what we all intuitively know.
The best way, indeed, the only way, to inoculate oneself from the lies of the world is to study history and philosophy. If one does this with diligence and purpose, a point will be reached when one's knowledge of human nature will equate to a level of wisdom and discernment that provides insulation from deceit and cynical manipulation.
I completely acknowledge that knowing who to trust is a huge dilemma, but I’m highly confident that this guy is Not one of those that we should trust ( ? )
Care to explain your reasons?
@@michaelscholes8956
a) Anyone that claims to have a ( near ) monopoly on truth is highly suspect.
b) finding fun & curious historical factoids & claiming these are cultural attributes is enjoyable, but hardly meaningful.
c) is it at all meaningful that trivia is misleading ?
@@ChrstphreCampbell I agree wholeheartedly with a), but I don't seem to recall Thomas Sowell ever making such a claim. Do you?
Please expound on b) and c) cuz I'm not sure I follow you
Know the new outlets. No one mentions the Cronicles. It has always been like this. The loudest most unkind words are promoted all the time.
This video is targeted to “the undereducated”
Oh no, it's the everybody practiced slavery argument again.
Joseph Stalin had an answer for that:
"Quantity has a quality all it's own."
Do historians ever discuss the percentage of White men who fought for the Confederacy but did not own slaves themselves?
How dumb was that?
There is no definitive source so the range is 70 to 90%. Why?
We really need accurate history, don't we?
Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me vs Lies My Teacher Told Me....different or similar?
Can't trust anything told you today, including what you guys say also.
cognitive dissonance much.
Native American propaganda
I think both sides lie whether the left or the right. They both can't artists with the left right-wing, same bird basically?
I don't blame you for the bad things people did in the past. It's not your fault and it's not my fault. But we need to learn from others' mistakes. Your attempts to defend slavery, the slaughter of native Americans, Joseph Mccarthy, etc., are just sad. Are you so weak that you are afraid of the truth?
Are you so weak you have to live in the past?
@@happyappy19931 For some reason, the guy in the video wants to defend the racism, etc., of the past. Why would anyone but a racist do that? Is whitewashing American history more important than admitting our mistakes we they don't repeat them? Or maybe you don't think were mistakes.
@@RayG817 Dad Saves America is essentially Charles Koch libertariani$m which is a rebrand of the John Birch Society. For John and his crowd the myths of American exceptionalism are sacrosanct.
@@richardthurston2171 They can't stand the fact that they are no longer taken seriously.
@@RayG817 Actually we should take John and his patron very seriously. Climate change denial and rolling back environmental regulations is their raison d'etre along with eliminating any progressive initiative ever made in the US. This crowd has never, ever, gotten over the New Deal, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And they likely never will. Vote!
