- 0xffff2 7y agoThis is perhaps the falsest dichotomy I've ever read. Not only are there still plenty of smart and capable people still graduating regardless of grade inflation, but the people who built the shuttle are still around! The reasons we can't build a better version are far more political than anything else. Certainly education in a non-factor.
- xhgdvjky 7y agomaybe it's mostly false, but there certainly has been an attitude change towards high risk projects (imo)
- gamblor956 7y agoNow that school is "easy" a team of students sent their own rocket into space... private companies are doing the same... we have cars that can sorta drive themselves...VR is actual thing. Gene therapy... Seems like people are actually smarter and the pseudointellectuals at Reason are just trying to find something to rail at.
