→Pablo Picasso: rot detection
* The first duty of a government is to give education to the people.
* The first duty of a government is to give education to the people.
==John Alexander Smith==
Gentlemen, you are now about to embark on a course of studies which will occupy you for two years. Together, they form a noble adventure. But I would like to remind you of an important point. Nothing that you will learn in the course of your studies will be of the slightest possible use to you in after life, save only this, that if you work hard and intelligently you should be able to detect when a man is talking rot, and that, in my view, is the main, if not the sole, purpose of education.
Smith was Professor of Moral Philosophy at Oxford University. Statement recorded in 1914.
