More pages from #PaulGoodman's #GrowingUpAbsurd. These pages deal with #Colleges and #Research. There is something reassuring, when you have nagging doubts about something being wrong, to read something from decades ago and see that other people have been noticing absurd trends. Now that people are going into debt to attend college the corruption of the institution away from teaching and toward #CreativeResearch has become an even greater moral issue, I suppose.

#PaulGoodman writes of the commercial media's bad influence on the young and their education. His lines about the #HumanProblem of PR #mannequins, people #WorkingAsClowns and #ThinkingLikeIdiots come to mind a lot. It always takes a lot of time to find #GrowingUpAbsurd(1959?) and then the right pages. #不条理に育つ #片桐ユズル

About ten years ago I read of this #GoodSamaritanStudy in #PaulGoodman 's #GrowingUpAbsurd . His comments come to mind a lot and I finally remembered enough about the study for successful on-line searches. I wonder if the study is meaningful to me because I read of it in Growing Up Absurd, and kept coming back to in... If mentions of the study just flashed by with speed on the screen, I might not be thinking about it so much..
