Great article and sadly its all too true. The university graduates I see are mostly functionally innumerate and illiterate, have never read a book outside of the prescribed texts and reading lists, have no curiosity and are not interested in life long learning, scholarship or knowledge. They specialize in their chosen field and have no knowledge about the broader culture and world they lived in.

Shitten should have a coat of arms with this written in Latin;

I don’t know what she [then Prime Minister Julia Gillard] said, but I agree with it”.
