Greek “reality”
Τhe subtitle of the blog translates to: Greek “reality” (pragmatikotita) exists only in the minds of those who never managed (or did not want?) to escape it”. It refers to an argument often brought forth by people not wanting to consider adopting a practice established in another country in education, health, politics etc. arguing that “it will never work because this is just the way we Greeks are”

Καλορίζικο το νέο μπλόγκ! Μάλλον μας βολεύει να περιοριζόμαστε σε ένα πολύ μικρό καλάθι ιδεών και αποκαλούμε όλες τις άλλες ιδέες (που μάλλον δεν τις κατανοούμε ή δεν τις γνωρίζουμε ή δεν κάνουμε το κόπο να τις μάθουμε) ως «ξένες».
