I think I have a somewhat unpopular and romantic opinion: a tertiary education is important not only for what you can learn in regular classes (or the prospects this learning may give you), but the knowledge you can gain outside of them if

It is not strictly the same, but Marx enabled the tragedies of the 20th century with his philosophy. Crucial points are vague (he, for example, said almost nothing relevant about socialism) and the teleological force of his assumptions cr

Facebook is a private company and it has the right to regulate speech in its digital properties (at least it seems the case in the US). You also are not bound to it, theoretically , so you can go elsewhere and say what you wanna say. I wri

I am brazilian and our education system is notoriously bad, any international ranking can attest it. I've seen many brutal errors made by university students, but this particular example striked me as almost unbelievable. Thanks for th

No, it is not. One can easily destroy nazi-fascism without being apocaliptic, and I think that welcoming this ideology in universities is a waste of time, as I said earlier. The Charlottesville guys were not trying to engage in an educated
