Liberal arts and critical thinking are as relevant as ever. So Why is their education dwindling?
For decades, such departments have been actively crippled by institutions that shun them on principle.

"Humanity has endured for 1 million years for one simple reason: it is bound by limits. It is effectively regulated, and it is this regulation that lies at the heart of its genius.
[…]
"Capital very quickly relied on the sciences, and this was not simply the result of cultural impregnation.

"Classical science separates and analyses. All capital relies on this powerful process and adds to it control through quantification. A principle of devitalisation at the heart of modern technique.

"This thanatocratic principle of capital, without which it is nothing, takes place in three stages: privatisation of the means, industrialisation of devitalisation, and being as a commodity."

"Technique is no longer some uncertain and incomplete intermediary between humanity and the natural milieu. The latter is totally dominated and utilized (in Western society). Technique now constitutes a fabric of its own, replacing nature."

– Jacques Ellul in “Recherche pour une Ethique dans une société technicienne,” Morale et Enseignement, 1983, page 7

"Reclaiming the use of digital devices at the receiving end does nothing to change the whole technical system. Digital technologies cannot be reclaimed, because they are the fruit of a mass society, of a society of experts, constituted of domination and exploitation, of complex and gigantic infrastructures from which citizens can only be dispossessed."

Julia Laïnae, Nicolas Alep in "Contre l'alternumérisme", 2020
