It is said, paradoxically, that we are in a knowledge-based economy but we have never taught less. We have never put such an amount of emphasis on institutions though we haven’t trained or educated less. Now I’ll explain the paradox, the nonsense. The paradox and the nonsense are in fact almost anywhere, particularly in North America; the school is becoming an institution for servants of the system. In other words, an institution of “thinking bipeds” that should only focus on maintaining the free market, self-regulating market and on maintaining this mechanics of production and multiplication of money.

This is what is called “employability”, to form the employable people; it is called ‘to reform the education from primary school to university’, to train young people to find their place in the labor market. That’s horrible!

Would be Victor Hugo employable nowadays? Would be Socrates employable? Would be Paul Verlaine or Rimbaud employable? No! So, they wouldn’t exist. But what would the mankind be with no Socrates, no Aristotles, no Rimbauds, no Verlaines, no Victor Hugos? What would mankind be without them? We would be animals!
