You know I didn't write the above line, right? My post was responding to it.
I agree with your post, that a new form of higher education will evolve and eventually destroy the old order. That's how things work, provided we continue to have something resembling politcal and economic freedom here.
You are so correct in observing that today's "journalists" do not know how to form a proper debate, first identifying a worthy topic, nor even research a context.
Impressive! I put in my time at one of those white shoe firms, although as a contractor, and in the sales/pr/marketing end. It was great to work with people who were methodical as well as intelligent.
Yes, I got that you were responding to that point. I am just piling on.
Just making sure! Enjoyed your post.
It seems we disagree on the level of inertia in the present system. To coin a geological metaphor, I think it’s Ayers Rock, just sitting there on a plain for millennia while a few bits flake off and an occasional boulder falls. It seems that you think it’s a very large body with significant kinetic energy which will roll downhill at an accelerating rate if a few impediments are removed.
Only time will tell. Neither of us may live to see the “something totally different” that may emerge in geologic time. Meanwhile, Tom the Son hopes to start at Western Carolina University as a junior next fall, on a three-year program to an M.S. in Chemistry.
We probably don't. I see some cracks and fissures, but not a lot of movement yet. LOL to your deft phraseology!

Certainly true for me. Possibly true for you; but may be well in place for your grandchildren. ;-)
