Oh, I agree absolutely. It seems to me a very destructive system. College is worth it; although in recent years - in Ireland anyway - it's being made more like school, which is obviously a market-based move. This is bad.

Don't wait. Do it now. I'm currently having many Socratic conversations with philosophers around the world. I'd love to get your point of view. We need many many more points of view. And the people discussing are not all philosophers. They welcome anybody. Please join us.
