Possibly I’m focusing too much on this point as a lawyer in his early 40s, but would it be fair to assume this cognitive testing regime should be applied to all intellectually demanding professions? Like medicine and finance and, say, software engineering?
Not sure whether to be alarmed by your proposal and the offhanded way in which you threaten my livelihood, or take solace in the fact that maybe I’ll be exempt from it since I’m a corporate lawyer and can’t sentence anyone to shit. Though, really, mostly I’m amused by it and your serene confidence in making prescriptions about entire fields you seem to have little familiarity with.
