Implied statement on education amid the success and failure of labor

"Our schools and universities will no longer be teaching literature, any of the arts and humanities, or philosophy, which everyone knows is now obsolete and irrelevant. What people need in our economy is just training for good jobs," the ministry of education announced, "not learning to think about matters of general interest, which can be left to experts." He paused, and then added: "What we need instead is more mental health treatments, which should be available to every worker, since so many have 'problems of living' that need to be addressed by correctional treatments, so that they can do their work effectively, and support their families, which benefits the economic growth and tax revenues we need. People just need to work at their jobs or professions; everything else is mental illness. We don't need to educate a citizenry anymore, for citizenship and democracy in the old sense has become obsolete in our globalized multicultural world. People should welcome the diversity of people from all kinds of backgrounds, rather than seeking some deep, essentially narcissistic, understanding of the history of what is really only their privileged subculture. The only thing we all share is business opportunities and a government that ensures and regulates them out of fairness to all. This will lead our society to greater productivity in difficult times."
