What is the Purpose of Education?
"The cornerstone of civilization has been demolished by rational critique. And no wonder, it needed to be criticized. But it needed to be more deeply understood. Criticism and deep understanding are the same thing, unless the criticism is only destruction. Because if you criticize something, what you’re doing is separating the wheat from the chaff, you’re not burning all of it. You are saying not this, not this, but definitely this. Definitely this! And that’s why education should provide you with the opportunity as well; “What should we conserve and what should we dispense with?” We conserve what is essentially true. And now we have to understand it. We have to conserve that the individual has an infinite responsibility to the direction of being." [1]
"The reason that you come to university to be educated is because there is nothing more powerful than someone who is articulate and who can think and speak, and I mean the best sort it’s authority and influence and respectability and competence and so you come to university to craft your highest skill and your highest skill was to be found in articulated speech and if you’re a master at formulating your arguments, you win everything and better than that In everything everyone allowing you wins too because to transform yourself into something approximating the logos, it means you shine a light on the whole world, well, there’s nothing more exciting to do than that, there’s nothing better you can possibly do and to think that you’re coming to university to be - you know - trained to have a job, it’s like: 'Great', that’s a hell of a lot better than being unemployed and covered with Cheetos dust while you’re snacking away in front of your video game in the basement."[Citation Needed]
