L'enseignement de l'ignorance

At school, standards are plummeting. Collective failure? A deliberate policy, says philosopher and George Orwell specialist Jean-Claude Michéa. The aim of this neo-liberal agenda is to substitute regression for emancipation, to inhibit all thought in the future 'super-numbers' of a world of money governed by algorithms. There are no roles here, just ideas, played out like characters by an actress and an actor in a lively dialogue with the images and Seb Lanz's piano. Here we learn that the neologism tittytainment - "feeding entertainment" - was coined in 1995 in San Francisco at a gathering of 500 leaders invited to think about the future... Why continue to ignore it?
