Hehe, a very humorous answer, thank you very much. I had suspected that, but it's nice to hear you say it and experience the reflection. I agree with you about the quality of universities and colleges. There is nothing left to the deep research of what one wants to understand under teaching. Everything is programme and predetermined, and where it is not, it is perhaps even the students themselves who first have to learn to accept a free-spirited professor. In my opinion, professors could also be practitioners and supplement their professional experience with sufficient theoretical study, but not replace it. Don't dwell too long on theory, because it makes you unreceptive to real life.
I think the problem you are addressing is centralisation and the creation of standards, an exceedingly boring affair. Plus the egalitarianism and the eager pursuit of unity, which forgets that everyone never has to agree absolutely on anything because it quickly ends up in dictation. The more dissent there is in a group, the nicer for the process of reaching consensus, as different perspectives can only enrich any group. The ability to reach consensus, however, is very atrophied in modern societies that do not see themselves as communal but as competitors to everything they do not know and do not understand.
