- chiefalchemist 2y agoThat's part of the overproduction process, isn't it? That is, those at the top have those in the middle and midddle-top believing they're on the inside. Nah. They're the suckers. They're the exploited. They're where the wealth is being extracted from. Given human biases and blind spots, no one in that positions wants to admit they've been played. Geez, look at the article. Written by a leftie for The Left and "blaming" The Right when in fact The Right has it right. That is, "we're done being suckered."
- matrix87 2y agothe author isn't left... > Conservatism and participation in its core institutions - marriage, church, and the military - are associated with better mental health also anyone who's trying to argue that widespread educational attainment is bad for society deserves to be laughed at
- chiefalchemist 2y agoI sit corrected on the author. I should have said "entitled elite" ( which spans political ideology). That aside... Anyone who believes a degree === education deserves to be made a sucker. Anyone who believes a degree === the ability to string thoughts together deserves to be laughed at. Look around, we HAVE increased the ubiquity of structured education and yet we keep enlisting students who can't figure out their career doesn't pay enough to cover their excessive loans at their "I MUST go there" over-rated private college / edu. Left or right, the overproduction system is fueled by such suckers.
