I don’t have a problem with education, I had a problem with his argument. He worships education and never mentions experience. All education isn’t spoon-fed by a university or found completely in books. Experience is a fine education.
I think what we could use most...are people who have good values and morals—the backbone to stay honest. People who put country first, not their pocketbooks or their political welfare and egos.
Personal experience isn’t enough because it is so limited. People have to study the experiences of many people, cultures and institutions throughout history in order to learn from their mistakes and successes.
Now what the academics do is forget the history, forget the experiences that were tested, tried and true and approach everything from a blank slate.
