Escuela pública, siempre. Mis padres. Mi hermana y yo. Mis hijas.

Milei loses big time by 13 points but promises to continue the austerity measures that “lifted 12 million people out of poverty”, which is absurd unless one accepts the statistical fictions of a sociopathic government led by a market fundamentalist.

Aristotle, Dreyfus, Murdoch, and Varela approve this message.
Ethics classes can teach the content of various theories, and thereby impart knowledge and skills which are useful to ethical cognition. But they can't make someone care, they can't make someone good. It's a fundamental mistake re what university education can or should do to hope they'll do that.
