> "[1] Even worse: While I agree with premise that we should strive for a better educated electorate, someone arguing the opposite could easily point out that the increasing political discord is correlated with the increasing fraction of degree holders." I read somewhere, but unfortunately can't remember where. That disaffected highly educated people stir up a lot of political trouble - so these things might be related in a causal way (though I'm a little skeptical). I also wonder how much university just has people exchange one cultural belief system for another based on who is around them rather than learning how to think critically and independently. My personal experience leads me to think that most people will just start to believe what everyone around them believes, I worry how much I'm affected by this too.
