Experience and information allows one to be smart. Point of views and different ideologies are where people are becoming separated.
Not just one quote, and Teufelhund hit the nail on the head- look at the title of the class! Obviously no self-respecting educator worth anything would dream up a class like that and present it as a legitimate subject, it's a freaking joke. Thankfully I don't attend and have no plans whatsoever to attend CU. My fear though is that our higher education is a joke and that whenever I have children I'll be forced to decide how they would best be educated without having to wade through BS classes to get to a real degree that will actually prove somewhat useful. I still don't understand why they even offer degrees in Philosophy- what kind of work are you going to do in that field? Be the next Plato?
