I think you are correct in your analysis. One of the issues, as you say, is that a lot of these people have never been exposed to reality.<br /><br />Taking that notion a step further, can we not say that in the daily life of someone who is working for a living, truth matters? If you or I are going about our business then we have to make decisions about what to do next, & how to solve problems that arise, as we're doing our job. And the truth matters.<br /><br />If (back in my marine engineering days) I was going down to a boat's engine room to repair a breakdown, then I'd have to actually identify the problem and figure out a way to carry out the repair. And engineering is an unforgiving discipline. I could just make some theory up and pretend that everything was hunky-dory.<br /><br />But once I pressed the starter button, that pretence would be exposed as inadequate. The truth matters, and in real life there's no getting away from that.<br /><br />But in the ethereal environment of higher education, the truth doesn't matter. <br /><br />To students, the opinion of professors and lecturers matters; just try sending in work that undermines what you have been "taught" & see where that gets you.<br /><br />As for professors and lecturers, the doctrines approved by their paymasters matters; just try teaching subjects using facts, logic and reason instead of saying in your class exactly what the guy standing behind you with the chequebook wants you to say, & see where that gets you.<br /><br />And here's my point. It doesn't matter what is taught in higher education, because unlike real life, there are no consequences.<br /><br />If you choose fantasy instead of reality, if you deal in lies instead of truth as you go about your daily business, then unlike say, repairing a diesel engine or working in the DEA, the truth won't necessarily come back to bite you on the ass.<br /><br />You'll get away with it. Time and time again. In fact your behaviour will be approved of, and you actually will be rewarded.<br /><br />Because not only does the truth no longer matter, it has been altogether rejected.<br /><br />As you say the even more worrying thing is that people are going through this system in order to prepare themselves for life, and who knows where those young people will end up - running the country?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01826512912301465167noreply@blogger.com
