sure he's on coke. What's wrong if philosophy is continous search and thought enlightment?

However, compressed study can lead to 'information overload' as in my case this year at Saas-Fee. I think the question is, is EGS an authentic 'counterfoil institute' as in Lindisfarne, as it was, or Black Mountain College? In other words, does one really get an education at EGS, or is it merely an "information system" that has a lot of latitude?

New College of Florida, which I attended from 96 - 99, is a lot like the democratic streamlining of education he mentions. It's a beautiful thing. :-)

& try the email for engagement with thinkers of magnitude.. I did & got it (for free).. as for rigor, try Mathematics or Physics.. I've a feeling that most of this work is the new Theology.. our grandchildren will be faintly embarrassed the time wasted on it.

$21,000 (tuition fees) for a PhD... & ain't business the royalty of the past? if the US militarah can produce the net, then who knows what Bologna will produce? What's wrong with business? apart from the fact that it is busy-ness? versus the tortured theses of those less energetic than Zizek?

He does a brilliant critique of the Bologna Process and of how it puts in danger the renewal of scientific and social/cultural ideas.
