Thus spoke Nietzsche:

"What is the task of all higher schooling?–To turn people into machines.–"What method is used?"–The student must learn to be bored.–"How is this done?"–Through the concept of duty."Who is the model for this?"–the philologist:  he teaches how to grind away at work.–"Who is the perfect human?"–The civil servant.–"What philosophy gives the highest formula for the civil servant?"–Kant's:  the civil servant as thing-in-itself set to judge over the civil servant as phenomenon.  (Twilight of the Idols, "Skirmises," sec. 29)
