Political Philosophy

Agree, ,it's a shame. Producing a bunch of parrots isn't going to move us forward.

To be fair, the essay question does not necessarily preclude parroting.

I do agree that not every body is suited for a true university education and instead should go into a trade school. There should be no stigma attached to following your own path.

Only in the US.

The key to human evolution is the unification of psychology, economics, and education.

Look at the scores of new threads started on ET as if these were seperate issues. These are essentially a few issues, at the core unified by a very small set of principles, fears, needs and wants.

so we could halt human evolution by simply separating psychology from economics and education? If that's the case let's do it. I'm already evolved way more than most species in the past ever got before they went extinct. Bout time to let some of the other species evolve and catch up.

How quaint.

" Political Philosophy "

My guess is:

Only schools promote reading books.

The politicians would almost never! They always keep saying, "Listen, just listen to me!"

ok, but just remember, before those paper books were the spoken word.

That's true. Aristotle or Plato thought writing was derivative, misleading at best.

Very important, because writing is a mapping of one sentence to many scenarios at different timing under a variety of circumstance and context, often causing contradictions!

Whereas spoken words usually can be delivered in a mapping of one sentence to one scenario, depending on the surrounding setting at the time of speaking - in response to specific circumstance and context.

However, many writings were records written down by others according to old spoken words! A reliable source of many conflicts!

Just 2 cents!
