Given the underlying ideological current, I don't expect a letter like this to move very many people. You want to entice them with the future possibility of career opportunities? Not very rousing or compelling in this environment. And indeed this career-centric view of education and learning I claim is what produced the conditions for further decadence in the first place. Classical education places truth and understanding at the top of its list. Modern education shifts to "know how", manipulation, and production. Truth takes a back seat. Once that happens, myth and gnosis re-enter the picture, and that's what we've been witnessing for some time. What we're seeing now is just the latest development. So in a way, the letter is arguing for a regression to an earlier status quo which itself contributed to the very conditions we're seeing now. Societies don't really rewind like that.
