In this session we are going to make reference to a topic that has been recently talked about in
different media and that has to do with a survey, they call it a survey
, that an international organization has carried out on the competencies of adults in
today's world. the 21st century This is an issue that differs from other types of aspects that
have also been talked about recently because in many cases the surveys carried out
on these m issues, let's call them that, tend to focus mainly on
rather young people. in people between 16 and 25 or 30 years but here reference is made
to a series of competencies that the English call skills and that
bad HM translators classify as skills when the concept of skill has much less
to do with intelligence and more to do with physical skills, which It has more to do
with intelligence in Spanish, it is the skills, not the skills, the skills
have more to do with the behavior that monkeys, for example,
can develop under certain conditions of gravitation, time and mass, for example, no,
but the skills. let's say they have others implications is not the same as having
piano skills There are people who do not distinguish between piano skills and
musical qualities but that is a matter for each individual The problem is that
who prepares the survey does not distinguish them The fact is that this question to which here We are going to refer to
the one that has to do with a report prepared by an international organization related to the
OECD studies on competencies that in English they call skills. I am never going to talk
about skills. From now on I will talk about competencies. The text in English speaks
completely. of skills and speech from a survey on adult competencies in 2023, that is, those
who were adults in the year 2023, a repertoire of them, a group of them have submitted to this
survey. And this survey corresponds to the program for the international evaluation of
adult competencies, whose acronym corresponds a PC a pi a acpi A ac de la ooc d well these surveys are
enormously revealing not so much for what they say but for what they reveal regarding the organization that
makes them public, that is, these surveys are valuable not so much for the information they reveal.
manifest that Naturally, it is information that is duly filtered and designed so that the
effects of its publication give rise to certain consequences due to the way in which it is made
public, which is what reveals the behavior of the organizations that, by making it public, in
some way predispose, organize and configure it. certain forms of social thought and
social action, undoubtedly these issues are enormously important, especially as it
has to do with a book that has recently been made public and will be published and will be
available in bookstores and shopping centers starting January 22 what is a philosophy
to survive in the 31st century in this book we echo many of these issues and
here we are going to mention one of them that is not discussed in the book because the book was published
before this survey was made public but that does have a lot What to see Not only because
they refer to the 31st century but because in this book a philosophy is presented, a thought
to survive in the 21st century because the 21st century does not make things easy as this same
survey shows. Yes, we anticipate that this book will present among other places
will be in force in the Faro de Vigo club on February 12 of next year, that is, two
days before Valentine's Day, at the Faro de Vigo club we will have the possibility of
presenting this book accompanied by Professor Inmaculada Anaya, vice dean of the faculty of
philology and translation. from the University of Vigo who will present the event there We will have
an appointment to talk about this book and other related issues such as the one that
concerns us here in this report the report is posed with a question in English that translated
into Spanish it would literally say the following: do adults have sufficient skills
the necessary skills the skills they need to thrive in a changing world
changing world catches our attention because we don't know static worlds, of course, it would be
very curious if they asked, do adults have the necessary skills to prosper, to
make their way in a static world, of course, there are no static worlds, the world is either changing
or not. Pay attention that in Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Saxon thought
there is a distinction between static worlds and changing worlds. What non-changing worlds are are not
known. There is no constancy, it is as if a physicist insisted on Demonstrating that there are immobile bodies
in space or time is curious. This is not to say. It only reveals this fact by itself.
It clearly reveals a certain lack of knowledge in the use of language and the basic premises of
language. This survey on competencies. of adults refers to the year 2003 and is
part, as I say, of the OCD studies on competencies and it was made public and the data that
I have before me is correct on December 10, that is, really a few days ago and
HM exposes the following: the latest survey on adult competencies highlights
a heterogeneous global panorama in terms of arithmetic literacy and
resolution .
a practical point of view so that the human being adapts
to reality, eh, which is redundant imo because of course solving problems so as not to adapt to
reality, once the problems are solved, it is still comical But well, English is a language
that does We analyze it from a logical point of view in many aspects is hilarious,
it results from an extraordinary sympathy that if Shakespeare had discovered these aspects
Well, he would have written even more comedies than tragedies But well because about a
world that is not changing and about solving problems to adapting to reality is still
curious that it is also basically proposed by idealists because Of course, for an idealist
to propose solving problems to adapt to reality is as ironic as possible, it is more
ironic than writing Don Quixote and the topic is flat. and So the conclusion that is advanced
in the introduction is that Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, the paradox is worth it, and Norway and Sweden
occupy the highest positions. The Netherlands occupy the highest positions. This is
also very, very funny. Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. They stand out in all areas of course
and one wonders what those areas are. Well now we are going to see what those areas are because
one expects to find a new version of Don Quixote with Beethoven's tenth symphony
and with the next part of Camerone's Bocacho That is to say, one expects to find
great findings and discoveries, not because of course Finland, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway,
Sweden stand out in all areas, so you say, Well, let's see what is that
superior thinking that these countries have and of which we lack and a significant proportion.
of its adult population demonstrates advanced abilities well advanced abilities to
What advanced abilities For what for what and they will say to me man you look like
a guy an impertinent one says advanced abilities to solve problems
adaptive to reality in matters of literacy and arithmetic well
I am And where There is progress, we are going to see advanced capabilities, it is writing
Beethoven's tenth symphony, Gustav Maller's eleventh symphony, that is, a work equivalent to Don
Quixote, but in the 20th century those are advanced capabilities, the rest is doing routine work
every day and in In any case, publish it and give it and give it a certain amount of hype. The thing about advanced capabilities
really makes me laugh. Any of those who were my university professors had
advanced capabilities. What a thing, however, on average, the OECD countries 18 of
the adults do not even have the most basic levels of skills in any of the
domains because who would say because without having them we are going we are where we are eh That is to say
that it gives the impression that Finland Japan the Netherlands is worth the paradox Norway and Sweden
They are the ones who run everything universal and complete throughout the European continent and throughout the entire world.
That is, it gives the impression that for the world to function it is not necessary to have advanced capabilities
. So why if those who do not have advanced capabilities are the ones? that make
the world run massively, what are advanced capabilities for? Or at least what are
these advanced capabilities for, of course, you will tell me that I am ridiculing this, that I am taking
this to the extreme, no, I am not taking it to the extreme, I am exposing what the report says.
sincerely eh I mean Countries with an absolutely minority population are presented to us as
an example of what the organization of the entire planet should be. I ask again why
31 countries and economies participated in the 2023 survey on adult skills. The survey
is a product of the program for evaluation. international adult competencies the
oecd pc provides a comprehensive overview of
adult numeracy literacy and adaptive problem solving competencies abilities or competencies that
are fundamental to the personal economic and social development of who
Where is Literature here, why don't they examine literature? I would like there to be
a literature exam for the Finns, the Japanese, those from the Netherlands, Norway and
Sweden, and let's see what comes out of the literature exam because here it gives the impression that
they have been examined exclusively on literacy, that I do not know very well what
literacy consists of from the point of view of the demands of a survey of this
nature of arithmetic, this is one of the parts of the tribum and the quadrium. definitively
quite medieval on the other hand and In adaptive problem solving, they will explain to me
what this entails if they have been asked how to build a new Deuan dam or if they have
simply been asked the multiplication table. I don't know, I honestly don't know, but the report
doesn't detail these either. issues in its first presentations it reports on a series of
statistical results but it does not go into much more detail it does not go into much more detail from the point of
view of the publicity that has been transmitted to the media and naturally in the preparation of
the report this will be detailed more widely But this no longer reaches the media clear and you
notice obvious things like the square has four sides and the circle is round no the
adult compadres with a high level of education surpassed those compadres with
a low educational level in literacy by 50 points well That is to say, culture is undoubtedly inherited by
people with high numerical abilities That is, accounting I suppose in mathematics but note
the extraordinary sophistication to not Call things by their name literature is
no longer called literature it is called creative writing it is a way to destroy even As for the
onomastics of literature, there are even university positions where it is said that so-and-so
or so-and-so are professors of creative writing instead of saying that they are professors
of literary interpretation or professors of literature. Of course, it's a curious thing, like
a whole continent that has a very powerful literary tradition, which is the Hispanic
Grec-Latin literary tradition, instead of talking about literature, it talks about creative writing. As if we were born in
Siel or in North Dakota, the truth is to say as if we did not have literature but rather we dedicated ourselves
to creative writing creative writing is also designing barcodes But well,
writing Don Quixote is not the same as designing barcodes, so people with high
numerical skills, that is, they would assume that with mathematical skills they are 11
percentage points more likely to report that they have a very good or excellent health
Compared to those who have low numerical skills So you see,
knowing mathematics improves health conditions eh And I wonder here there is nothing related to
literature nor is there anything related to music for example know how to interpret a score know
simply reading a musical score solfa a score this is not talked about at all
the proportion of adults who use the internet increased from 76 in 2012 to 93 in 2023 and this What does
it mean that they are even more gripped by planetary neurosis because the internet basically has
neurotizismus information In short, it greatly deteriorates the
interpretative possibilities of the world in which one lives because it is information subjected to the interaction of
immediate emotional reaction so as not to really perceive what is at the bottom of the facts,
that is, on the Internet. Basically, human beings are invited to discuss opinions, not to interpret
facts, and this can be considered very positive from certain points of view
or very negative from opposite points of view. This will depend on the
assessment we make. Look at what it says. continue the report the competence the
above all the media dissemination of the report the illiteracy and arithmetic competence
decreases especially among the less educated well This is like saying that as one eats
food one loses appetite, I mean I don't know if you realize the ridiculous What results is
the solemnity of the Obvious when the trickery of the solemnity of the obvious is dismantled is the
same as saying that the human being loses appetite as he eats food. Well, it is
the same thing, then the arithmetic illiteracy competence decreases especially among
people. that has less education, well, if it increased among people who have less education,
it would have to be explained, because how is it possible to go against natural laws? In the last
decade, the average level of literacy improved only in Denmark and Finland,
well, that's why. We assume that there they are going to write a new Don Quixote, and it remained stable or
decreased in all the other participating countries and economies. The results in arithmetic are
more positive, that is, mathematics evolved better than literacy. Eight
countries improved their scores, led by Finland and Singapore most countries
and economies that experienced a decline in skills saw
the level of literacy and numeracy decline across different
age groups note that this is saying the same thing as above but in reverse using a isodinamik
[Music]
decreased or stagnated in most countries but the general expansion
of education does not necessarily refer to nor does it necessarily imply competent content in
education. But what do we call education today, simply going to school or acquiring
competent knowledge at school ? in which one leaves because going to school is not the same as studying
being in school is not the same as being studying in clear gerund These results underline the
urgent need for policy makers to focus on lifelong learning
And throughout of all the life by ensuring that education and training systems are more
adaptable to changing demands, well then the result is to maintain schooling from
the age of 4 until retirement or even death, that is, we put people to
study all their lives, not to study all your life permanently Well, no, it wouldn't be bad
, no, and what would we do with those who don't want to study or work, well, a kind of student military service,
don't force them to study, eh, of course, that's what is proposed here, but to study, what to
study writing? creative instead of literature to study design of bar codes instead of
interpreting Don Quixote of course What is the content of the studies what do
the studies that are carried out contain? Well, in many cases absolutely nothing vacuity and the result
of those ities is precisely that knowledge reading and writing only enables human beings to
take the bait of commercial products that circulate and swarm on the Internet, nothing more
than that, that is basically the objective. The decrease in literacy and arithmetic competence
was particularly evident, I would say to avoid the word. evident among
less educated segments of the population which resulted in a widening gap in
Competition in terms of skills is worth the redundancy. Notice how redundant they are
between adults with a high and low educational level in the majority of
participating countries and economies. This is saying the same thing as above for the third time simply to
fill out a list. hollow and give a more bombastic expression to a report that reveals nothing
but truisms because basically what the report reveals is that the educational content of the
Western world is of such emptiness that the only thing it generates are people capable of reading
basic messages and capable of doing basic operations with a calculator and period and nothing more because in reality
to survive in the 21st century it is not necessary to relate ideas because ideas are not available
when ideas are not available it is not possible to relate ideas it is only possible to relate
occurrences and stimuli which is basically the content of the education that is taught in almost
all of the West, an education whose contents are emotions and emotional reactions to
the emotions of others because dialogues between human beings tend to be dialogues of
emotional reactions but not of argued reactions. not of ideas No of concepts, you cannot
discuss an idea against another idea when the two interlocutors lack their own ideas, the
only thing they do is discuss and confront each other through emotional reactions that oppose them to
an occurrence, a vision or an ideology. We have already said many times. Sometimes ideologies
are H emotional organizations of collective ignorance, they are ways of emotionally organizing
collective ignorance and therefore the lower the weight of the ideas of
scientific knowledge and the concepts handled by the population, the more fluctuating and the more stimulating
and the more Galvanizing will be this confrontation of beings human but based on emotions not
on knowledge people do not discuss knowledge people discuss emotions basically
emotional reactions to certain events whose causes and consequences are completely ignored
the report continues in a very very curious very subtle way and says
higher educational qualifications do not always mean better competencies here plays with the contradictory H chiasms
Yes but no formal education plays a fundamental role in the development
of competencies well formal education and informal education and logical education and
musical education that is to say education dot adults with higher education obtain on
average better qualifications that those who abandoned education before return to the
obvious, that is, those who study longer know more than those who study less time
this and this is a good report this this is common sense told to simple minds told
to innocent people however the levels Higher education levels do not always equate
to better skills and knowledge. Let's see what the explanation for this is
and the explanation is as follows. The 2003 Adult Skills Survey
reveals that when comparing the level of skills of people with different educational qualifications
in different countries higher educational qualifications do not necessarily
translate into a higher level of skills, meaning that the one who studies the most is not always the one who
does the best job of a lifetime from the Neanderthals to today, for example,
high school graduates Finns systematically outperform adults with higher education in several
countries, including Chile, Israel and Lithuania. Well, I have already said this in a previous video that
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. What are Finnish high school students graduating?
What are the contents that they have learned to read and write better than others to read and write
better than others What type of contents because I would give a Finnish graduate to
read Don Quixote in his own language in Finnish and I would ask him for a few explanations, let's see what
he tells me, let's see what he tells me, I would give him a literature exam. The literature exam
is much more revealing of many aspects of human faculties than a mathematics exam
because mathematics and formal logic exams ultimately reveal How does the
brain before certain stimuli and conceptual reactions but a literature exam requires
much more than a mathematics exam and if you don't believe me, face the literature and see if
you dare because mathematics allows you to acquire a certain security once you have learned the tables
that you have to handle but in literature there are no tables that assure us results
as reliable as those of mathematics because in literature the results do not offer us
logic in literature the results are offered by the human intelligence of the reader who faces
with no other weapons than the literary training life of its own to what literary materials are,
in fact one of the reasons why literature is avoided in many cases is because
human intelligence requires a much greater commitment than other branches of knowledge require.
Literature requires facing bare chest to many aspects that in other aspects of life
in other formations of life in other facets of life one can execute with an armor
that is not due to one's own intelligence but to the intelligence of others in literature
the human being is exposed alone in the face of events that often destroy it much more
easily But in short, this disparity may
reflect systematic differences in the quality of educational systems as well as differences in the
provision and organization of education and lifelong learning. As you can see, the report does not
reveal more than ities. a commemoration is always repeating the same thing these differences
may have to do with the moment in which learning occurs childhood youth
adulthood the place in which it occurs the way in which it is facilitated etc. well
obviously obviously obviously we dispense with a lot of of this rhetoric that says nothing let's go to
another section the mismatches in skills require greater harmonization between education and
the labor market well here here we wanted to get to reality the labor market is reality
education is something completely different education is a rehearsal for work in In the
best of cases, in the best of cases, education is a rehearsal for work, but
work is reality. Work is an imperative that human beings sometimes
cannot do without, even if they are rich, because there is no wealth that can be dispensed with. 1000 years last Sometimes there is no
wealth that lasts 100 years, some will even tell me buf. There is no wealth that lasts 10 years or less in
such a way that even the rich are forced in some way to work to preserve that
wealth, maintain it or increase it and the labor market is a reality, a reality with which either
education is compatible or the human being fails, we learn more by working than by studying, in fact
we could say in relatively exaggerated terms. Because it would be necessary to justify
very properly that universities should be absolutely abolished and that training should be
acquired by part of the individual directly in companies, that is, let's eliminate universities
and provoke the generation and development of companies in such a way that people acquire
knowledge in companies well. This is an option. We would have to see what company what company is
established to teach a human being to play the piano or to interpret Don Quixote But that would be
part of the commercial skills that a society would have to develop to convert
into a business task what is a public service for the good of the state and the population
that is part of that state but the market Labor is a reality that we cannot
do without and the report warns that around a third of workers in
OECD countries are not adapted to their jobs either in terms of
competency qualifications or fields of study, of course. This is a very important failure with reality, this is
a very important chasm between studies and work, which means that education
travels through very idealistic paths and that the world of work does not travel through those
idealistic paths, but rather the world of work belongs to a reality that is not in concomitance
which is not in line with the fact that it does not conjugate the same verb as the idealism of education,
that is to say, on the one hand there is the reality of work and on the other hand there is educational idealism,
of course, this has important economic and social costs, particularly if the worker is
overqualified. But overqualified, what is the use of overqualification in a
work context that is not the responsibility of the overqualified? I may be very qualified to interpret
literature, but if I work in a factory making light bulbs, my
literary knowledge is probably not relevant to my schedule and my work calendar
, for example, adults who work in jobs that do not require their level of Education receive
salaries that are 12 percent lower compared to their equivalents who have jobs that do
fit their needs new new obvious, that is, it is a descriptive report but it There is no
problem, no solution, no alternative, and they will tell me, well, the report
does not intend to propose alternatives. Well then, why is it done, that is, to entertain yourself, it does not have
to propose a series of solutions that induce decisions that executively
improve the deficiencies They are also four percentage points less likely to
express this type of professional is a high satisfaction with life Well here we already enter
the realm of the emotional this suggests that people who hold positions that do not use
their qualifications may often believe that Their potential is wasted Well, of course, our
potential is wasted from the moment we have worked for 30 years to acquire
the most developed and most reliable literary training possible and we have before us
a group of students or pupils who have no interest in that subject in
which he says he has enrolled Of course we are a real waste from the moment
people retire at an age in which they can still continue imparting knowledge. Of course it is a
real waste but that is a problem of current societies that they will have to solve
Well, as they see fit, of course. A particular individual isolated human being does not have the solution
to these problems, that is to say, the problem is in the system, a system that infinitely wastes
the human resources it has available, that infinitely wastes human resources
that it has formed and from which it does not take proper advantage. party But this is already a problem of the system itself
, that is to say, in Spain there are very good teachers in very different subjects who
the system wastes and does not take advantage of. But I insist
that this is a problem with the system and I would say that in almost all of the West there is a enormous waste
of human resources that is the great generational drain of one era after another. In
reality, this disconnection between reality and the labor market between the reality of teaching
and the reality of the labor market is due in part to the fact that people choose for a training for
which There is limited demand and the slow adaptation of training programs to the
changing needs of the industry but the big problem with all this is that the focus of
education is not on reality but on the idealism of educational programs and This is
the big problem that I want to refer to with this survey. The center of gravity of
educational systems is idealism and the center of gravity that drives
human functioning and prosperity is work and work demands when there is such an abysmal difference.
between work reality and educational idealism It is evident that The training with which students leave
universities, secondary education centers, schools has nothing
to do with the world of work they will encounter and this implies limitations
and losses of reference and a waste of human resources. absolutely fearsome, that is,
in a few words we would say that the education received by young people who are of training age
has nothing to do with the demands of reality that they are going to face Because reality
is much more demanding in its strict reality than the educational idealism that these
people have received over the years in educational centers converted into toy libraries
and sometimes even into something much worse than a pathological toy library. Eh, then of course this is the
problem. This disconnection is due in part to the fact that people opt for this wrong training
to address These issues, governments must invest in the recognition, reward and
certification of skills, including those acquired in the labor market. This is not going to be
done, it has never been done. In other words, in reality, mediocrity is basically rewarded,
research is punished and It greatly clouds the vocation of many people who come in working
with great interest and who end up burned out in a very short time, that is to say, people
burn out at work, people are wasted at work, that is to say, an ass-licker goes much
further than a person who dedicates himself to professionally develop a work and curricular activity
that everyone knows, that is, anyone who has entered
a labor market, be it academic, industrial, commercial, of any type, from the
civil service to the most basic industry, knows that the ass-licker always goes much further than
anyone who dedicates himself to working and studying responsibly, that is, either he leads a double
life, a resume for public administration and a resume for science, or
he fails in one of the two or You fail at one of the two, but succeeding at both. It is really
very difficult because it requires extra effort that not everyone, sometimes due to their own
personal convictions, is willing to develop or is willing to carry out. You have
to work to achieve it. the system satisfying the ridiculous, grotesque and mediocre demands of
a system and on the other hand one has to work for science to advance
scientific knowledge of those subjects in which one is a specialist, then of course this double
life requires an enormous effort, there is You have to write a rubbish resume so that the
accreditation agencies can accredit you and then you have to write a scientific resume to make
the research to which you have dedicated your life prosper because it is very frustrating
to reach retirement having made a good resume for public administration from
articles and writings that have no value and that their author knows perfectly well
that they are worthless, but that have been necessary for the
national, international accreditation agencies and all those miscreants to accredit one curricularly so that one can
apply for such or such positions when In reality, most of these works,
not to mention 99.999%, will never be read by anyone ever again because they serve no purpose other than
to curricularly promote the mediocre trajectory that we are all obliged
to satisfy. If we want to reach some point, supposedly relevant position in the exercise of
our work but apart from that there is the scientific work that no one is going to recognize
that no public administration is going to recognize and that private companies are probably not
going to recognize either or that they are not going to award so to address these issues It is said that
governments must invest in the recognition, reward and certification of competencies.
No one is going to do this. No mediocre person is going to recognize the value of a colleague's work.
That goes against the fundamental principles of mediocrity. We are going to see if we establish
the 10 commandments of mediocrity the first is to never ever recognize the merit of a colleague
That is the first commandment of the mediocre to never ever recognize the merit of a colleague
because that is to recognize one's own merit eh That is to say glorify public mediocrity stimulate
deterioration of the entire system, that is, those are basically the 10
commandments of mediocrity and we will all agree on which ones they are
. modular
and and improve professional orientation there is none of this everything is aimed at hindering
the professional training of people and to create obstacles that limit the age at which
a human being can opt for different degrees of promotion in their academic career,
that is, all this is set up precisely to make the human being fail, not to
promote neither scientific knowledge nor academic trajectory. So it is said here by
alienating education and the demands of the labor market, countries can promote a culture
of priority of skills. I don't know what this is about promoting a culture of priority of
skills. In other words, there is a whole rhetorical nonsense here to simply say that
human beings basically only need one thing: health and Freedom to develop their research. The
freedom to develop research is absolutely fundamental and when
someone's academic and professional career is saturated, it is full of obstacles so
that freedom cannot allowed or exercised there what can we do then invite the human being
to basically give up Camilo José Cela said an obvious but a very true obvious that today
has even been forgotten he who resists wins It is that only he who resists wins obviously only
he who wins resists and the mediocre resists very little. One of the great advantages of
intelligent people is that the mediocre ones whom I do not consider intelligent can be considered cunning.
But not because they are intelligent, the mediocre have very little endurance, in reality they endure very little.
They are simply flashes that last a very very short time, very few moments.
These countries should promote a culture of priority of skills. I don't know what this is about promoting
a culture of priority of skills. They should give freedom to people and that's it, reduce the
imbalances and guarantee that investments in education translate into
tangible economic and social benefits. This is idealism. This has never happened. Nor will it happen. That is to say,
university training is a hidden self-education. If someone wants to have training,
they have to seek Sela for themselves. within the University or against it but do not expect
anyone to reveal the secrets of success to you because when someone reveals the secrets of success to you it is
because they are obviously going to lie to you. When someone announces that they are going to tell you the secrets of
success they incur in the same lie as if he said that he was going to announce the lottery numbers
for the next draw, that is, whoever discovers the secrets of success does not tell them, man uses them in
private but does not tell them, adults with parents with a high level of education have better
literacy levels than those with parents with a lower educational level we return to isodinamik
and it is spoken in Israel Switzerland and Hungary these effects are especially pronounced and
explain at least 34 points of difference in literacy scores after taking into
account sociodemographic characteristics of the respondents The skills gap between
adults of different socioeconomic origins is smaller in Spain in adults. It should be seen in
young people where parental education only explains a difference of seven points between
adults with parents with a low and high educational level, regardless of all these issues. Be that
as it may, what all these questions reveal above all is not so much the intentionality of a
fairly vacuous and quite obvious report, but above all the progress of an
immediate future that, with respect to what really interests us, reveals a chasm between reality
and idealism in I frequently insist that idealists
are the main human resources available to totalitarianism. All totalitarianisms
have always mobilized idealists, who are those who, losing sight of reality,
are willing to give everything for the sake of reality. idealism to give everything for idealism and incurring
idealism is a great danger but not for everyone because for the managers of totalitarianism
I insist that idealists are the best human resources that can be available and this Abyss
between the reality and idealism of education between the reality of the labor market
and the demands of life in the 31st century. On the one hand, the idealism of
educational systems is so great that it will mean that many people born since the 1990s, especially
since the 1990s, will star in their own tragedy in the coming years, that is,
the 21st century is a time bomb that, from the point of view of the idealism of the education
that many people have received, is going to explode for many people before they reach their forties
before turning 40 years old. I insist that idealism is what determines the formation of a
person who is below the demands of reality and today democracy is in love
with the idealisms of those idealisms that are the human resources of totalitarianism.
