Materialistic education in a Nutshell

[Guest guest]

“Among my classmates I believe that there is one idea, one sentiment, which

we have all acquired at some point in our Harvard careers, and that is, in a

word, confusion... They tell us that it is heresy to suggest the superiority

of some value, fantasy to believe in moral argument, slavery to submit to a

judgment sounder than your own. The freedom of our day is the freedom to

devote ourselves to any values we please, on the mere condition that we do

not believe them to be true.”

 

(from a speech by a student orator at a Harvard graduation)
