Here's a brief synthesis of what is wrong with the modern educational system. It looks at Australian moral philosopher and "Emeritus Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics" at Princeton.
I quote Wikipedia: Singer's work specialises in applied ethics, approaching the subject from a secular, utilitarian perspective. He wrote the book Animal Liberation (1975), in which he argues for vegetarianism, and the essay "Famine, Affluence, and Morality", which argues the moral imperative of donating to help the poor around the world. For most of his career, he was a preference utilitarian. He revealed in The Point of View of the Universe (2014) … that he had become a hedonistic utilitarian. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Singer December 2000 "The average salary of a full professor at Princeton runs around $100,000 per year; Singer also draws income from a trust fund that his father set up and from the sales of his books. He says he gives away 20 percent of his income to famine relief organizations, but he is certainly living on a sum far beyond $30,000. When asked about this, he forthrightly admitted that he was not living up to his own standards." https://reason.com/2000/12/01/the-pursuit-of-happiness-peter/ I often heard my peers say in the 60s and 70s, "My parents say one thing and do another." And now...you do.
