That's like saying "Name a democracy that doesn't have cars."

i can't name one that currently exists.  Yet a democracy could certaintly exist without cars.

Also not in war?  What does that have to do with anything?

Books =/= teachers.

 

Teachers = People who teach as a proffession.

If there were no teachers, things such as apprenticeship would pop up again, homeschooling, self learning etc.

 

 

Hope you don't matter that I brought your two statements back together in one. As I edited my text in between.

About the war thing: just a gimmick, because some african so called democracies don't have even a basic one, but they are all in civil war.

 

About the car thing, well democracies existed without technology as we have it now, but they never endured very long without professional teachers. You admit that it is inefficient. I add here, that this is mainly because of the lose of knowledge and if they don't professional again in some time most of the knowledge will be gone.

I feel like this is going nowhere, so let's say what is really your point and then it makes more sense

 

My point is modern society doesn't work without professional teachers.

 

edit: to your edit : Yes, I've learned a lot from books, but without somebody learning me how to learn and actually use a book, I would've probably just get half of the information out of it. Have you ever read highly scientific books? Good luck if nobody could tell you specific words etc.

garbage men: some would do it, many won't

Actuall yes.

I have... and i've learned a lot from them.

For example I have a very good understanding of Quantum Physics that i picked up soley through reading books, papers and articles.

For finding the meanings of specific words we have dictionaries.

Most of the more complicated information I know actually comes from self learning as my degree is in psychology.
