Haha. They aren't Irish publications and you just have to type into google. You are the one with the narrative. You have a bias against the Irish so you will say anything negative you can think of to be derogatory. So not an unbiased person. I'm Irish so proud of my ancestry so that's my excuse. What's your gripe against the Irish?

There aren't any excuses for the barbaric Irish island monkeys. You are an island doomed to fail.

Well they aren't failing as much as you would wish it and the Irish aren't barbaric either. They have not started any wars so that's a pathetic answer. Where are your issues with the Irish coming from? What is your problem with them? You have an obvious pathological hate thing going on which is a very unhealthy attitude. Where did it come from?

Countries like Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Malta, Cyprus, produce NOTHING. For some strange reason they are fiscal paradises and their wages are ultra-inflated.
Norway without its oil would be almost a Third World country (what indeed was until 100 years ago). Nothing to produce or offer.

Only in your little bigoted mind but not in reality at all. You can be as derogatory as you want but that is only because of your hatred. It's not reality because you are too biased.

GDP and stuck in the past ?--you are pushing me away from Marxist philosophy back to Schopenhauer :You're living in the past. Ireland is an independent country since 1922 and also has one of the most successful economies in Europe and has the second highest GDP per capita after Luxembourg in Europe. The Scots and Irish get along very well but no the Scots are not considered brother gods to the Irish. Post something about the countries now to compare not focusing on the past when Ireland was a colony of Britain.

The nobler and more perfect a thing is, the later and slower is it in reaching maturity. Man reaches the maturity of his reasoning and mental faculties scarcely before he is eight-and-twenty; woman when she is eighteen; but hers is reason of very narrow limitations. This is why women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important. It is by virtue of man's reasoning powers that he does not live in the present only, like the brute, but observes and ponders over the past and future; and from this spring discretion, care, and that anxiety which we so frequently notice in people. The advantages, as well as the disadvantages, that this entails, make woman, in consequence of her weaker reasoning powers, less of a partaker in them. Moreover, she is intellectually short-sighted, for although her intuitive understanding quickly perceives what is near to her, on the other hand her circle of vision is limited and does not embrace anything that is remote; hence everything that is absent or past, or in the future, affects women in a less degree than men. --Arthur Schopenhauer
Nothing different can be expected of women if it is borne in mind that the most eminent of the whole sex have never accomplished anything in the fine arts that is really great, genuine, and original, or given to the world any kind of work of permanent value. This is most striking in regard to painting, the technique of which is as much within their reach as within ours; this is why they pursue it so industriously. Still, they have not a single great painting to show, for the simple reason that they lack that objectivity of mind which is precisely what is so directly necessary in painting. They always stick to what is subjective. For this reason, ordinary women have no susceptibility for painting at all: for natura non facet saltum. And Huarte, in his book which has been famous for three hundred years, Examen de ingenios para las scienzias, contends that women do not possess the higher capacities. Individual and partial exceptions do not alter the matter; women are and remain, taken altogether, the most thorough and incurable philistines...--Schopenhauer

Also, formal schooling ? Don't make me laugh. Mandatory schooling was first implemented in Prussia in order to create sheeple who all thought a like on the same issues of the day
When one sees the number and variety of institutions which exist for the purposes of education, and the vast throng of scholars and masters, one might fancy the human race to be very much concerned about truth and wisdom. But here, too, appearances are deceptive. The masters teach in order to gain money, and strive, not after wisdom, but the outward show and reputation of it; and the scholars learn, not for the sake of knowledge and insight, but to be able to chatter and give themselves airs. --Schopenhauer

...with academies and chairs of philosophy. You have a kind of sign-board hung out to show the apparent abode of wisdom: but wisdom is another guest who declines the invitation; she is to be found elsewhere. The chiming of bells, ecclesiastical millinery, attitudes of devotion, insane antics—these are the pretence, the false show of piety. And so on. Everything in the world is like a hollow nut; there is little kernel anywhere, and when it does exist, it is still more rare to find it in the shell. You may look for it elsewhere, and find it, as a rule, only by chance. --Schopenhauer

Deschooling Society :
Schools have failed our individual needs, supporting false and misleading notions of 'progress' and development fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities have become recruiting centers for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggest some radical and exciting reforms for the education system

P.S. Alexander Graham Bell, David Hume ( Scottish philosopher) and Robert Burns etc.. were autodidacts!
