    The story of Procrustes should be taught from early primary school and studied in-depth through required philosophy courses in secondary and post-secondary education.

      Why Procrustes? I admit I didn’t recognize the name at first, but I still don’t know of its philosophical applications.

      Edit: but I totally support mandatory philosophy courses (my country had them during high school, it’s great to teach reasoning and “independent” thinking)
