Socrates, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, etc., all whispering loudly in unison: "the heritage IS the criticism..."

school tours are absolutely wasted on children. literally a total waste of time. they have tiny brains. let me and my huge-brained friends tour the local hydro-electric dam and appreciate it in all its glory. these small-brained children cannot give it the respect it deserves.
