I assume most of us reading this are educated, a member of a profession, have a university degree, which assumes we have certain tools – we can read, we can write, we can do some math, we can speak, we can communicate – we’ve learned the practices, codes and standards of our profession.
This is the bare minimum of what you should know. But so what? Beware of education – lest what you have received is training.
And beware articles which sometimes are mere advertising propaganda which may cause you to become brainwashed.
