To increase our scientific and technological knowledge more and more, without basing it on true human values: liberty, equality, fraternity (already 200 years old), peace of mind, love and harmony (already more than 2000 years old), is to rush headlong towards the abyss. We are saturated with atomic bombs, missiles, destruction, poisons, superfluous and polluting articles, shortages and luxuries, hunger and unemployment. Where is the scientific rationality, the heart of the university teaching of this society? in it, some bask in luxury, others vegetate or badly survive. Some end up dying of starvation or easily controllable diseases (if there were decent health systems), some have post-doctorate degrees and for what? To speed up the process, i.e. "progress". We believe, however, that many people, inside and outside the university, are rebelling against this irrational and inhuman way of life. Their sensitivity and conscientization tell them that this cannot be the only way to live. In the meantime, they suffer in silence because they cannot see how to get out of prison, nor which alternative can be tempted.
