The "Set of Circumstances" here Described depict a Culture which has ABANDONED MERIT as a Criterion for "Excellence" as a Criterion for Training for any "Leadership Position" in our Culture!!

Extremely well said. It's gonna be a scary future if the graduates of these institutions follow the policies set forth in this article.

Thanks for your agreement.

Our ENTIRE CULTURE has been constructed on the concept of a "Meritocracy!"

To abandon or subvert this Concept is to UTTERLY DESTROY our Brief Effect on Mankind's History.

If we CANNOT keep a "Merit-Based" Culture in control of our overall culture, we have a Good Chance of becoming a "Footnote" in the History of Western Civilization.

The "Downside" of this "History" would likely be "Oblivion!!"

The ONLY Reason our Civilization has succeeded & Progressed is that WE REWARD MERIT!!

If the SH+T-for-BRAINS succeed in causing us to abandon "MERIT" as a Criterion for success in our Culture, we will Sink Back into the Slime from which we Originated.
