There are no useless degrees. That's not the problem at all.
You send 50%+ of kids to a university system designed for the top 5%, break the system itself because you cannot educate the 50th percentile as you can the 95th, they simply cannot do it, and you sell them all on a fantasy of “you’re an elite now, you deserve a top 10%, probably a top 1% life” that is obviously mathematically impossible.
Overproduction of self-styled elites overstuffed with self importance and crushed under debt is how you stir up an intellectual vanguard and there has never been one so large and so ill informed. never.
They are not even familiar with history or what’s been going on. they have become a set of the blind leading the blind.
Good post.
When you add the female thumb on the scale things start to get weird in a hurry.
The vast majority of the female graduates go on to “service” functions and do not actually produce any physical stuff.
That is one reason we are buried under a huge pile of “talk talk talk” and bureaucracy accomplishing nothing.
