A Echo Chamber
We are in an extraordinary times, not just the fact due to the technology, we are more fragmented and our instead of belonging to the small village our conversation only with others who share our view. The legacy of capitalism derived from the feudal system, where privilege was granted, from Augustine in the City God, the rights were rationalize, since god granted the right and Rationalist like Leibnitz granted a rational.
Education being instrument to form behavior, not accident in the Medieval education was not only control by the Roman Catholic Church, but the languages was Latin, many meaning Latin was the Languages of the Empire, but the time of Constantine, the rational of the despotic rule was god and rationalizes in the 16 and 17 Century, given divine to Aristocrats and Nobility. The behavior which society will like impact is privilege, the propaganda an egalitarian education, by disseminated certain believe or ideology and gate keepers using test or access to education limited who belong to class. In practical terms the economy meltdown of 2008, from the 20,000 Economist in US only 3 question the US economy since 68, has base on economy of credit. With Nixon in late 60´s turn the non profit health care of US into a profit exploiting the health care in the 90´s where US haven higher cost still have 52 Million of 300 Million without any kind health insurance.
In the 80´s Regan diminishing student grants in favor a guaranty Educational loan, given a cost of the elite schools 50,000 USD. Knowing well not every profession will achieve the mean to repay the 200,000 USD + the interest on the loan. An example the corruption of the Educational system State University receiving a 300 Million donation turns the monies into Sport complex, the same done by private Universities.
But the gate keeper corruption of the system: Some scholar economist question the credit base economy and question Federal Reserve judgment on this respect, the Editors of the most respectable Journals and reviewer are populated by people working the Federal Reserve is not just a conflict of interest, but many of the Economics are built on abstract acrobatics, Economics is a social Science, more precise psychology of human behavior in a certain assumption on a frame. They stop publication from critics of the policy to the credit economy.
But the corruption is not unique to the Humanities or social Science for example Pharmaceuticals companies sponsor Journal to validate the drugs being market. The corruption not just in soft sciences, hard Science like Physics wile Abstract had helped, the base of Scientific is Experiment being able to validate by any one. When empirical work reaches an impassive many in the Science going to abstract missing the experimental work is the frame of validation.
Privilege means access, the elites made a decision to return to time privilege, the only problem they can not control events, Japan Earth quake not just affected Nuclear Industry in Japan, but the impact was felted in Europe., The decision by Germany of dismantle the Nuclear power will have impact in the generation of Energy of the 500 Million in Europe. The right of the slave is to rebel we should undo and make sure the gate keepers and privilege of knowledge should broken, by open, free higher education. Using the internet to disseminated descent an question any self appointed elite with self given rights of privilege.
