PIRACY IN THE OCEAN OF KNOWLEDGE AN ILLUSTRATED FAIRYTALE ABOUT THE DECADENCE OF THE ACADEMIC SYSTEM

This is a fairytale about the decadence of the academic system. Knowledge is a vast ocean. The people organized themselves to explore this ocean effectively. So, they constructed faculties and departments to be their ships, and universities to be their harbors, as well as many other things. During this process of organization, −however, some individuals, who were merely interested in leadership and not in being good sailors, prevailed. Those who were eager to seize power and not to achieve the conquest of knowledge were the pirates who replaced most real, genuine sailors, though they had no idea of navigation and the sea.
