I do think it's better to lead an examined life than an unexamined life--if in fact this "god" does fail any of you young people, at least you will have thought out why learning and growing is important to you.

I am in the same boat as you when you describe how the god of Economic Utility was one of the biggest reasons and motivations for why you go to school. I too find it saddening that this book has not created any change in our educational system despite the fact the book has been published for so long. Like you said in your post, the difference in time at which the book was published explains why the book has gained few momentum. I think if the book was published now, the ideas conveyed in the book would have a better chance of being seen. Maybe then our educational system would be changed some, if not all, to the ideas Postman displayed. However, I believe students would still follow the god of Economic Utility even if they new what it stood for. Overall, nice post.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17992984538270472387noreply@blogger.com
