As recently pointed out, the overall distortion of our understanding of what is causing our cultural decline is a major concern. That’s probably why “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” by one of the founding fathers of American literature has been so widely discussed for well over a century as well as characterized as being difficult to teach. I’d like to highlight a pair of key points regarding such distortion of information.
Slavery. In the form of 1984-style mental colonization this time, slavery is obviously the goal of these distortion efforts. In an attempt to illustrate these points as well as provide a raft for more than two independent minds this time to go down the river, I’d like to invite the readers here to take a look at the abstract of a story in progress referred to below about the belly of the beast at Tallinn University of Technology and encourage to experiment with keeping the malevolent administrative practitioners at other institutions honest, too.
Mass resistance. It has become increasingly dangerous to experiment alone, so the “one for all, all for one” approach is the way out. Thus in order to get through a
wall of bricks at e.g. academic institutions, I suggest that independent minds get organized and in the habit of supporting each other in the undermining of the construction of such walls by co-operating in communities of carefully selected company with appropriate experience and skills in a common hostile environment providing growing enclaves of reason to the next generations of students much like the so-called
parallel structures at the end of the Soviet era were formed. It would mean a lot of work indeed, but should end up being pleasant and rewarding upon work well done to provide the young potential community members and future community managers with the means to educate themselves much like the tours that Mr Lina is taking or the communication between tennis-loving students and faculty that our recreational tennis community at Tallinn University of Technology is striving to continue with in spite of all the difficulties:

Wishing everyone good luck in keeping the administrative personnel around you honest,
