Bonne Lecture/ Readings

"The Universe is an educational institution. Its purpose is to foster learning, which is to promote expansion. Some say that economics is the purpose of life. They want us to buy something from them. Others say that politics is the purpose of life. They want us to vote for them. Others say that work is the purpose of life. They want us to wait on them. Education is the purpose of life. We do it for ourselves and it truly promotes our expansion, which is our welfare. The universe is not a market, not a party and not an estate. The universe is a school for refining taste."
from "Ethics and Ethos. Inner Necessity and Decisive Freedom" by R.E. Lee, corps of engineers.
