"Education is what you're left with when you've
forgotten everything you learned."
I don't remember who said that. ;)
Learning logical paradoxes and so forth--
especially if you learn to analyze them, not
just to scratch your youthful head-- can prepare
you to tackle logical challenges of all kinds.
It may be that especially in our own
generations, when the job of the school is
evidently to prepare children to confront a
future that is not yet imaginable, teaching
them to think and how to muster and organize
knowledge may be no less important than
inculcating the knowledge itself.
