Liberal arts/humanities catches a lot of well-deserved flak for the silliest and most bizarre fields of study, e.g. queer theory, but the whole education system is badly compromised. It produces credentialed assholes whose sole claim to any merit comes from loyalty to a cretinous tribe.
It is becoming increasingly clear, the only people in America who still have faith in this administration are college educated white urbanites. That says a lot about the dismal state of education. As for putting engineers in charge? OMG as a builder, how have I cursed engineers? The solution to a problem is not automatically more high tech/engineering , but that seems the only path allowed. America is in part suffering from too much complexity, that thing that befalls every empire.
Great perspective Colin, thanks.
