Love this. Not much different from the exam procedures for tenured faculty positions at many Brazilian public universities.
This is the philosophy subject for the 2025 entrance exam of France's École Normale Supérieure: just two words in quotation marks, "Tu dois" ("You must"). The candidates had 6 hours to write their essay around this 😅. For those who aren't familiar with it, École Normale

I’m particularly pleased to see that his reflections on diversity, as expressed in the editorial, are embedded in the journal’s very mission, which includes fostering the development of design research across all regions of the world.

And there is an influential line within decolonial design scholarship that builds on Schmitt to propose that design should impose its authority in guiding society toward sustainability. 🤦♂️.
There is a long-standing tradition in fascist ideology of subordinating economic policy to what Carl Schmitt called "the political" or the power of the dictatorial leader of the movement to decide what most conduces to national supremacy—be it laissez faire or protectionism.
