    “The Future of Our Educational Institutions” is a work by Friedrich Nietzsche, originally delivered as a series of five public lectures at Basel University in 1872. In this work, Nietzsche critically examines the attempt in 19th-century Germany to make education public, and its inherent politicisation. He points out the deep contradictions within the gymnasium system and argues against the exploitation of youth by the State for its own purposes. Nietzsche presents a radical challenge to the existing educational institutions and practices, arguing that education in modernity is a lost cause.

    Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapeutic approach that has garnered widespread recognition for its effectiveness in treating trauma, particularly post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Developed by Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR is founded on the concept that distressing memories can become “stuck” in the brain, leading to emotional and psychological difficulties. By using bilateral stimulation—usually in the form of guided eye movements—EMDR aims to facilitate the processing of these memories, enabling individuals to integrate them in a way that reduces emotional distress. 
At its core, EMDR is grounded in the understanding that trauma can impair the brain's natural processing abilities. When a traumatic event occurs, the brain’s memory systems may not fully encode the memory, leaving the experience fragmented and unresolved. As a result, individuals may experience intrusive thoughts, flashbacks, and heightened emotional responses associated with the unresolved trauma. EMDR aims to "unstick" these memories and allow the brain to reprocess them, turning them from vivid, emotionally charged experiences into less distressing memories that can be stored in a more adaptive manner. 
The key to EMDR's effectiveness lies in its use of bilateral stimulation. During the therapy session, the client follows the therapist’s fingers or another form of rhythmic bilateral stimulation (e.g., auditory tones or tactile taps) while focusing on distressing memories. This process is thought to mimic the natural mechanisms the brain uses during REM sleep, a stage associated with memory consolidation and emotional processing. By engaging both hemispheres of the brain in this way, EMDR helps clients process traumatic memories, alleviating their emotional charge and reducing their impact on daily life.
