EXCELLENT OBSERVATIONS! Regarding Aristotle: "Human nature is the one constant through human history. It is always there." Thucydides Your "time at uni" reflects a time gone by, I'm afraid. "The object of education is not to fill a man's mind with facts; it is to teach him how to use his mind in thinking." Henry Ford On language, You are SPOT ON: "The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."

Philip K. Dick
