[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All this emphases on STEM has created intellectual pygmies. Just look at our tech bros who almost without exception have not made it past Ayn Rand nonsense level of intellectual development and now will literally run the country. The pinnacle of their discourse is that podcaster Lex Fridman, dude is so naive and uniformed about the complexities of the world that it's nauseating. [/quote] +100 This was a long time coming. College is now a means to an end, not the end goal in and of itself. It's just a ticket to a job. People aren't necessarily there to learn anything. DCUM progeny excepted, of course :lol: It's like Brooks said in the piece -- striving too hard in college used to be considered in poor taste and was a class marker. It was basically a bunch of preppy dudes reading and biding their time until they could waltz into whatever job their family handed to them. [/quote]
