'I think the incumbent education system is trying to destroy itself. It
and the people running it and the people funding it are trying to kill
it. And they're kind of doing that every possible way they can.
'So for K-12, they're prioritizing the teachers over the students,
which is just like the opposite of what any properly run company would
do.
'Stanford now has more administrators than they have students. Again,
it's like you wouldn't, no company would run that way.
'The universities are voluntarily shutting down use of admissions
testing. They're shutting down SAT, ACT, GRE. They're very
deliberately eliminating the intelligence signal, which is like a big
part of the signal that employers kind of pick it back on top of.
'They become intensely politicized.
'We now know [about] the replication crisis, most of the research that
happens to these universities is fake. Most of it's not generating
real research results. We know that because it won't replicate.
'You've got these increasingly disconnected kind of mentalities and
there's some set of people obviously who are going to keep going to
these schools.
'A degree from a mainstream university: costs in 10 years a half
million to a million dollars, most of the classes are fake, most of
the degrees are fake, most of the research is fake, where they're
wrapped up in these political obsessions.
'That's probably not the future of how employers are going to staff.
That's probably not where people are actually going to learn valuable
marketable skills. That's the last thing that they want is to
actually teach somebody a marketable skill. Teaching somebody a
marketable skill is so far down in the list of priorities at a
university now. It's not even on the top 20.
'A lot of it is just their cartel. They operate as a cartel. They run
as a cartel. It's a literal cartel. They run as a cartel because the
cartel is administered through the agencies, the quasi-governmental
bodies that determine who gets access to federal student loan
funding. Those bodies are staffed by the current university
administrators. It's a self-governing cartel. It does exactly what
cartels do. It's stagnating in going crazy in spectacular ways. The
system is breaking in really fundamental and obvious ways.'
