		<description><![CDATA[I recently found this beautiful explanation of the motives for academic hypocrisy elaborated by Noam Chomsky at a Harvard University seminar on February 6, 2002. With the exception of the topic, Chomsky’s entire analysis fits my experience with academia perfectly. The focus of my PhD was supposed to be “Rehabilitation Engineering”, but I have always [...]]]></description>

The tremendously negative impact of the common reduction of the concept of disability to a mere deficiency is presented.
