And once again, your opinion of what I think is completely wrong. You
should just give up on these "projections" of yours. I think for some
students, the pursuit of knowledge and the hope of making a contribution
to the bank of knowledge is purpose enough.
It wasn't a projection. I was simply referencing your quote
Education is a pursuit on its own...as we have discussed before, I think
there is far more use for education than learning a trade.
In this economic climate, kids need the tools to find a job. They can
learn all about more esoteric things after they are gainfully employed
Their employer might even kick some money in if they can see the same
value in liberal arts as you do.
Why don't we just leave it at the fact that you have no appreciation for
intellectual pursuits that don't produce significant amounts of money,
and that you believe rigorous thinking is an esoteric pursuit.
After all, what use have we for someone like Leonardo da Vinci and his
students?
Just have the drones line up for their jobs at The Corporation each
morning so they can produce their daily quota of widgets and widget ideas.
