Civilization despite its history that tells the human story, of so much failure and how, of higher human values, and lower ones, still must we be guided(lead) by such foolish presumptive principals of determination. Einstein heralded in the era of relativity, circular thought is as important as square practical thinking, they need each other to come to something with an outcome of the highest quality. In this day and age it seems so tiresome, this statistical agenda of getting the most out of everything, yet we are getting so little of the essential value. Of all we have achieved technologically, still this constant winding up, it shows no insight into the human nature and the quality of reality we are able to create. Get in line, follow the policy criteria, we're gonna pump you out as a capable and efficient cog for the machinery of society - you'll be able to work under pressure in a competitive world. God it's so unprogressive, such a stupidly narrow return to something of an era of Dickens, but contemporary. My house mate recently did an exam, she is German, and has studied and even worked extensively. The whole experience was awful for her, the environment 'created' didn't at all support the nature of what they the students were needing to do, and the system showed itself up as cheat paranoid and mechanical. I can see a bigger picture -where all this is heading - as this narrow, unwise, and insensitive approach continues, there will be - as ultimately there always is - a backlash, a turning away and rejection of these values, of this world reality currently dominated by policy rather than human wisdom, discernment, and understanding.
