Milk Round success is tragic, culpable failure

[Mindful]

Several times this term I’ve staggered out onto Oxford station, cramped and queasy from Cattle Class, and seen packs of sleek suits ooze out of First Class, briefcases in their hands and predatory gleams in their eyes. ‘Let’s go hunting’, one floppy-haired account manager said to his confederates. They climbed into cabs, which they saw as safari Land Rovers heading to the bush, and went off to a panelled room in some college.

Milk Round success is tragic culpable failure Practical Ethics

Quote:

Next year, some of those students, in new suits, will be making the journey up from London, to the same panelled rooms. Then they’ll be doing the gushing thing. Quite a few of them will be philosophy graduates.

This denotes a woeful failure by their tutors. There is no serious philosopher – not one – from any time or any place, whose conception of the Good Life encompasses the life of a Goldman Sachs director or a partner at a big firm of City Solicitors – let alone the life of one of their lieutenants.

Philosophy is a practical subject. Someone who writes the most dazzling essays on the Good Life and then goes off to work for a merchant bank has failed woefully. That failure needs to be recognized. There are, broadly, two ways of recognizing it. Both should be implemented without delay.

I’m checking out all the threads you’ve started. I’m going to guess you’re a socialist who is a nationalist and you aren’t happy with all the Muslims migrating to whatever socialist country that has allowed you to be a philosopher. Sorry philosophy doesn’t pay well.

And you blame immigrants for your woes? Tell me about yourself. You seem to be speaking for Europeans. Do you like free healthcare? Philosophers can’t afford healthcare in America.

I guess if England Brexited it must be true there are more trump supporters than I think in Europe. But they don’t know what you’re talking about. I work with a European republican. He cries because the bosses are picking on him. Doesn’t he understand republicans always side with the company? He has no right to his job. But the dumbass doesn’t understand that. He also knows it’s easier to lose a job in England because you don’t have to worry about healthcare.

I don't know what you are talking about.

No healthcare is free. It has to be paid for.

And I don't live in England. At present, I am living in the US.
