"If we have a mass of students learning no useful skills and divert them into useful fields..."
What do we do if a significant portion of the students who already aren't learning useful skills lack the neural plasticity to become productive in other endeavors? Or in other words, how do we incorporate humans into the economy when those individuals are objectively inferior at EVERY task compared to an automated (robot, AI, etc...) alternative? Especially as we consider things like climate change and austerity, and how humans are supposedly the greatest threat to overall environmental longevity?
- graeme 7y agoThat's a good question in the medium term. But, the US education system presents a clear misallocation of skills that can be fixed. It won't solve the underlying issue you address, but it will improve things, and waste less societal resources in the educational process too.
