The headline immediately reminded me of Frank Zappa’s “Packard Goose” monologue.

Information is
Not knowledge
Knowledge is
Not wisdom
Wisdom is not truth
Truth is not beauty
Beauty is not love
Love is not music
Music is the best...
Wisdom is the domain
Of the wis
(which is extinct).
Beauty is a french
Phonetic corruption
Of a short cloth
Neck ornament
Currently in
Resurgence...

“Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.”
G. M. Trevelyan

Public education, for the convenience of TEACHERS, has leap frogged absolutely everything that is necessary for ‘understanding’ and real knowledge!

Don't believe it? Just listen to the way younger people speak, what they talk ABOUT, what interests them, what entertains them, what matters to them, etc. If it is possible to be an adult and know LESS or be less able to express yourself properly... I don't know HOW!!

We have a generation of idiots who are completely ignorant of what the world IS, where it WAS and where it is going! They have the most shallow perspective of EVERYTHING!

The ancient Greek poet Hesiod reminded us roughly 2,700 years ago that sometimes intellectual or material progress brings with it moral regress.

To paraphrase Shane of Western movie fame: A laptop is only as bad or as good as the person using it.
