1. That #1 on his list of 4 is in "sort of right but not at all in the way he means" territory

"Educated into it" and then he specifically mentions science, philosophy, and history...

Given the context he sure seems to mean "indoctrinated" or "told" or the like. IOW imposed from the outside, by an authority. Instead of, you know, education (i.e. knowledge, understanding, critical thinking skills).

But yeah, man, knowing stuff about science and/or philosophy and/or history makes your apologetics make a f-ing lot less sense than when you're naive. That says more about your dogshit apologetics' effects on well informed people than it does about brainwashing in schools.
