Everything
explain below, contributes to focus attention on an issue that would leave immediately and explicitly express my opinion. Although I am critical of the alleged use of reason, which boast the most intellectual in any way like this could be considered a refusal on my part to reason correctly interpreted. And by "properly interpreted" I mean that recourse to it having a clear awareness of its inherent limitations, and that by accepting the logical consequences, the actor is displayed at all times willing to address this shocking reality-proven both in the field of economics as in biology - namely that a spontaneous order may be superior to any other that is the result of planned intervention of man. How could the writer of these lines to reject the use of reason, when it strives to show through it, the error is an interventionist ideal type as "factual and logical?
" The ideas of economists and political philosophers right or wrong, are more powerful than is generally assumed, in fact the world is mainly based on them." JMKeynes

Why the poorest of the English colonies, inhabited by illiterate immigrants who did not know speak the same language, became in a short time, in the 6th world power?
Why Abraham Lincoln, illiterate until the age of 19 and 9 months of formal education, was the greatest U.S. president?
What formal education were the men of the generation of 80, who managed the Argentine miracle?
Why Universitaria Argentina is the great disappointment of the late twentieth century in a very short time, transformed the country into one of the most unjust and corrupt in the world? Sarmiento
interpreted the difference between civilization and barbarism was given by educational attainment of its citizens and emphasized education, to consolidate the progress achieved.
Sarmiento Alberdi warned that men were more enlightened than himself Sarmiento, who set fire to Paris and that the universities was forming a new breed, which he called the Barbarians Illustrated. He also indicated that these could be transformed into a real danger to civilization and to the continued peace and progress.

Marx in the Communist Manifesto, the 10 points proposed for the destruction of what was dubbed capitalism - and Argentina met all - he says that education should be free, free and directed by the State.
was believed that the aim was to give equal opportunities, but the real objective was the spread of an ideology, to promote the omnipotence of the state and the consequent destruction of the rights and liberties.
To enable the socialist dream, the members of the intellectual elite should believe in this new religion, placing it as the dominant paradigm.
"Trust the State public education is an evil plot aimed at shaping the human mind, so that there is the slightest difference from one individual to another, the mold used for this purpose is the most pleasing to the regime prevailing political, ... to the extent that this task is performed correctly and effectively, a despotism is installed on the intelligence of men. "JS Mill
In communist countries, the intellectual elite of a high level and has been the basis for sustaining the social process.
These intellectuals are ignoramuses, and who know a lot of things that are not true and which are contrary to the nature of things and human nature.
is why we speak of the need for a new man - he is a man without his own nature, without passion, without feeling and without interest -. That man will never appear again.
" Because ignorance is located between true science and erroneous doctrines ... However, those without science are better off and more noble with his natural caution, arguing that those who rely on bad or wrong reason, rush on rules false and absurd general. Thomas Hobbes 1651.

The serpent convinces Eve to taste the forbidden fruit from the tree of wisdom.
Genesis 3.5: "Ye shall be as gods, knowing good and of evil ". Gen 3.11 Who told you you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat?
Adam and Eve after eating, actually assumed the office of God, who is judge of good and evil, but acquired no new ability to distinguish them directly. They were naked in rejecting its very nature - human fallibility - and were driven from Paradise.
So the tree of knowledge killed the tree of life.

Don Quixote syndrome
The knight was the owner of a huge intellectual, captured after a colorful flowery rhetoric, from which the noble knight fantastic fictions constructed that contrasted with the vision the reality of his squire.
A man - or country - is civilized when it manages to overcome the fiction that builds your mind and recognizes in nature fallible.
backward countries, are those who have not yet been able to leave the stage of superstition and Argentines believe we still Don Quixote.
So when we face a moralist gives us the feeling to be interacting with a parent who does not understand what we speak, as affected by the syndrome of Don Quixote, we construct a fiction from reality.

"Believe nothing of what your teachers tell you, just look how they act." Woody Allem
Popper tells us about the problem of knowledge swagger and danger that entails. Strike down on intellectuals who hide behind large and obscure words and sentence: " who has no ability to express clearly, is that simply does not yet have capacity."
Popper goes against the tendency to link Kant complex to the deep. This affected intellectuals such as Rousseau, Marx and Hegel, among others, and his ideas led to the most terrible suffering and holocausts of the twentieth century. Hayek
"The Fatal Conceit" and The Presumption of knowledge, shows how intellectuals - always well-intentioned but wrong - tried to build a new morality based on reason giving way to various schools of thought, that keep the intelligentsia in a confusion that was very well treated in the recent film "The Barbarian Invasions."
Philosophers who airs of wisdom and sufficiency have a tough task when dealing with people inquiring, that evictions of all the positions they take refuge, and that surely will lead eventually to a dangerous dilemma. The best way to avoid this confusion is to be modest in our claims, and even discover the difficulty before us is presented as an objection. Thus we can convert Somehow our ignorance into a kind of virtue. D. Hume
Perhaps the greatest contribution of philosophy is to confirm our human weakness, our limits and our blindness despite our efforts to conceal them and avoid them.

"Who runs the past manage the future and who runs this runs the past" 1984, George Orwell, 1948. In Argentina
only possible thanks to the uprooting similar decline in its history. Juan Bautista Alberdi - the greatest intellectual of the nineteenth century - was filed by historians trained in the decade of 30. That
new generation of Argentine intellectuals took over frameworks moral void created by Alberdi in the 1853 Constitution, which was the only true revolution that had the Argentines to begin the path of decay to this day. Alberdi
in 1880 warned of the dangers that threatened to Argentina and in that context spoke of how enlightened barbarism won the hearts of the Argentine Universities.
the new historians were born and new lawyers in their role as legislators, politicians, judges and trial lawyers would be responsible for completing in a short time with the rule of law in our country.

" Alpargatas if not books." Today, in light of the results obtained by misconceptions, we can give a new interpretation of the famous phrase of General Peron.
" just know that I know nothing and just that." Socratic maximum of 2400 years ago, teaches us that this is a recurring problem that is necessary for universities to be open-minded again and give up further (de) forming the city behind what Ortega y Gasett call "the barbarism of specialization. "
