[vinnomot] our admirable teachers

According to Bertrand Russell, the effect of Aristotle's teaching on
Alexander was nil. ýWe can generalise this to affirm that the effect of
education on character is zero – or even ýnegative. ý

In light of the recent events in Bangladesh involving the academic
community, it can be ýsafely inferred that with education comes a
progressive deterioration in character. What ýwould have appeared
culpable to any illiterate peasant appeared not only innocent, but ýeven
laudable, to our teachers and students. ý

After all, it took a massive amount of education to turn French
peasants into murderers. ý
