"何年にもわたる低レベルな教育の痛ましい兆候の一つは、多くの人々が一貫した議論を展開できないことです。彼らは感情を爆発させたり、他人の動機を疑ったり、大胆な主張をしたり、スローガンを繰り返したりはできても、理性を働かせることはできません。"
— Thomas Sowell

Simplified Meaning:
When people go through a poor educational system, they often struggle to have clear and logical discussions. Instead of explaining why they think a certain way or using facts to support their opinions, they just express their feelings loudly, doubt others' intentions, or say catchy phrases without understanding them. For example, imagine someone arguing about politics with just anger and slogans, but not explaining the reasons behind their views. This person can't really convince anyone if they don’t use logic and evidence. To avoid this, it's important to learn how to think deeply, ask questions, and communicate ideas clearly. This way, people can discuss important topics constructively and understand each other's perspectives better.
