Reflections on a "Feemonger"....
Genuinely saintly humanist A. C. Grayling ("Kerching")'s new university is at the moment concerned with making money to some extent.
An irony is he is very pro-atheist.
Oxford and Cambridge were granted their licenses to teach independently of the Church by the Pope and hence are sort of religious foundations in origin.
Medieval universities were never concerned in any major way with making money when they were founded and not for a long time afterwards. On the contrary they were an attempt to escape from worldliness to some degree.
By the way the writing of Antony as "Antoknee" is not just humor. It is a way of pointing out AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN that the English language NEEDS SPELLING REFORM like HUMANS NEED WATER TO LIVE!!
Why does the word KNEE have a "K" in it at all?
I wouldn't pay a penny to any educational institution whose medium was English in present form.
As I say - I would NEVER EVER teach ANYONE English in present form.
It could appear that in his consideration of the question of university funding - only Oxbridge and US Universities are mentioned. The question of university funding in the rest of the Solar System or even the rest of the Galaxy does not feature in the discussion.
He says that "Oxbridge" charges too little and is only charging such a small amount because it is still officially state-funded etc.
Hence he undermines the idea of state higher education across the board.
By the way - the education of children and the question of philosophy at school don't seem of great importance either.
