Although tuition free education is a good answer, it won't work for everyone. There is a distribution of intelligence and skill; not everyone will be able to perform the remaining highly technical jobs. What should our society do with these people? Leave them on the streets? Provide welfare/basic income? This is a critical question because more education will not scale to 100% of the population.
- emodendroket 9y agoI wouldn't really cast it that way. Companies would like to tell themselves different but they don't really select for nothing except intelligence. There are a lot of unwritten rules which end up favoring candidates who have the "right" background over those who don't.
- nickthemagicman 9y agoI disagree and I don't think there's any sociological evidence that anyone can't succeed in almost any profession. There also community colleges and other lower technical tracks that people could do for the less motivated. The point is the option is still available which benefits,the individual, our economy and the human race. It's like a no brainer win win situation for everyone.
