"Above all, the one overarching lesson that students receive is the true
end of education: the only essential knowledge is that know ourselves to
be radically autonomous selves within a comprehensive global system
with a common commitment to mutual indifference. Our commitment to
mutual indifference is what binds us together as a global people. Any
remnant of a common culture would interfere with this prime directive: a
common culture would imply that we share something thicker, an
inheritance that we did not create, and a set of commitments that imply
limits and particular devotions."
