College Bubble Bursting—Left Hardest Hit. Too Bad.

Quote:The college bubble is bursting. Bubbles can’t last forever and in the Anglosphere this particular bubble has lasted since the nineteenth century. But universities, even the hard sciences, have now been debauched by anti-science Social Justice Warriors, as I’ve documented here, here, and here. At the same time, universities have lost their monopoly on knowledge storage, general education provision, and specialized training for high salary professions. And they just cost too much. They’re done.

John Derbyshire has pointed out that in Medieval England the monasteries were similarly all-powerful as knowledge repositories, book-producers, even homes of proto-science. And they were similarly expensive—the Reformation was in some ways a tax revolt. But a combination of competition (from the printing-press and from nascent universities) and politics (they opposed Henry VIII’s establishment of the Church of England) led to their dissolution in 1536.

So the monastic bubble burst. Now it’s time for the university bubble to burst too.

Plato founded the “Academy” in Athens in 387 BC. The ideas of the “Platonic Academy”— unfettered free inquiry in the pursuit of truth—inspired nineteenth century universities so much that they started to speak of universities as “academia.”

But a key problem with the Left is that they are, like Plato, essentialists. They assume that we live in a world of fixed forms.

Thus they demand that more “minority” or poorer pupils be allowed into “elite universities.” They fail to understand that, if this happens, “elite people” will just send their children to university somewhere else and the original university will cease to be regarded as “elite.”

Quote:
Brimelow In FORBES, 1993: Are Universities Necessary?

Quote:Peter Brimelow writes: From pre-internet darkness, we’ve retrieved my Forbes article (published April 26, 1993 under the headline “Are Universities Necessary?") on Douglas Hague’s brilliant pamphlet, cited by Lance Welton here. It’s taken longer for the Higher Ed bubble to burst than he (and I) thought—rather like patriotic immigration reform. But it’s happening.

Are Universities Necessary?

Well, are they? It may seem an odd question to ask Professor Sir Douglas Hague [1926-2015] in the sleek contemporary surroundings of Templeton College, Oxford University's recent belated answer to American graduate business education, where he is now an associate fellow. But in fact Hague voiced grave doubts in his 1991 pamphlet "Beyond Universities: A New Republic of the Intellect," [PDF] published by London's Institute of Economic Affairs. However, he made clear he hoped to rescue them.

"Now I'm sure universities are unrescuable," he says wry, describing the complacent reception his ideas received. "Eventually, businessmen will get fed up and organize their own [training centers]."

This may sound strange to Americans brought up with the idea that a college education should be every child's birth

no one needs no god dam university to access so called 'higher education' its right there available to all..free of charge..or the simple cost of participation in the relevant sections and flows of society wherein education can be accessed..Libraries, buying books, free lectures, specific courses one wants to take... the net etc

university is an horribly expensive, elitist and pretentious waste of time

Necessity is he mudder of invention. human material advances always need social change to use up the new effectively, in making potential for more and ever more change. its the way of life.

there is too much for capitalism to use now...and increasing every day. to use it up totally making way for more advance, all the people need to be on stream, prosperous, meeting their needs, consuming, developing

the university is now not about reality but about maintaining the status quo.

university is into educational propaganda in all and every subject,. the university is now not a positive factor but one of social suicide. university does not address in any way positively, the current social bottleneck.

school then is a waste of propagandizing time..set up for social control.. not human advance any longer

if they could publish this article it means that the situation is far, far worse than we imagine. but as I have been saying all along: only popular revolution can save humanity. we can survive only if the entire species is moving upwards, developing, in health and focused on reality, proving it, using it, advancing human chances in nature by social advance.

anything else, any other way and purpose for social organization is now suicide.

popular revolution and resulting popular democracy the people create in the social process disciplined by meeting popular need, will lead to educational reorganization and a structure of qualifications to meet the requirements of the day..a relevant and current curriculum vitae. what exists now, has existed up to now, is no longer relevant to human survival

(please excuse my typos. I cant hep it at the moment. I will come back in a while to edit)

remember that this is the way it is, the way life goes. just go back to the capitalist revolution and see what made today possible, why the monarchy was overthrow and what the capitalist did in their domination of global society.

the capitalists took the stage of the day and made what we now have..massive advance over the stasis royalist control had produced by the end of absolutism after their centuries of power.

it is now the time for the capitalist to move on and out: who have grown old, obsolete totally negative to the demands of human survival in nature. humanity must move on and um always..evolve successfully or die.

that is the equation all life faces..as things develop, evolve and change do you have the legs to deal with the changing demands of survival?

that is the question of survival in nature

the capitalist now stands 4-square in the path of human survival. the people either revolutionize society, end socially class divided capitalism, bring all humanity on stream..or the human species falls prey to the stage.. the decay in all the negative ways the stage evolves, in the absence of re-energizing social power from the bottom upwards..like Brave New World or 1984...accidents that poisons the planet given the the massive work now done in capitalist industry..military activity, scientific activity etc.

only the people in popular collective movement, in full expression of popular need contains the purpose that can save humanity from here.... in organizing the social life in the interest of all.

only in that is contained the possibility of indefinite human survival..the potential of organizing society to do and produce all that is required to ensure the survival of or species in nature

there is survival potential for humanity in any form of exploitative minority control of society. therein lies, exists the seeds of human extinction as we have developed.

we are fighting for the survival of our species against our own selves, against the social organization of life we evolved before we came to know what we now know. the problem now is to change the social life to save humanity...against those who had and have the power from before refusing to allow such change, and to give up the social power that allows them to frustrate social evolution

in capitalism and all forms of exploitative society at this stage lies human extinction. only in popular democracy is there a chance for human indefinite survival in nature [/color]

by capitalist exploitation vast productive forces have been opened up along with the sciences and their extensions in technological applications. this has ripened capitalist paradoxes..contradictions.

capitalist evolution has brought its internal development to its full potential and they must be socially resolved from now on...right now, and over the next lil while. see the world in chaos around us...that's what it will be like and worse from now on. its touch and go anyway for humanity from now on in

capitalism is over and done with. if the capitalist wins he will have to create a Brave New World and that's it for humanity. Brave New World of 1984 type social construction wont take humanity very far. they are not in flow with nature and basically nature is all. we must respond positively to natural demands..not the demands of a system of capitalist domination

that is the choice we have..the capitalist wins and sets up human extinction by making a total, comprehensive social domination that would require him to engine humanity biologically to ensure they cannot carry out revolutionary social change, usurping, rather taking over the social power that the capitalist now dominate.

if the capitalist does not win then it means that the popular revolution has and we create a popular democracy that can take humanity forward. either way capitalism is done, finished..developed to its fullest extent and must be surpassed

we must evolve a society with the massive capacity to use up the day, the stage setting up humanity for further advance. that is the way of life even if the process of evolution is as awful as we see it to be..war and massive death and the threat of extinction. but what is key is to get over paradigms of exploitation. exploitation is the factor that introduces the socially extreme hostilities into the social life that becomes like natural inborn human nature, that can lead to collective death

once we get past exploitative social organization we may eliminate extreme human hostility in the security a popular democracy produces to all..leaving negotiations as the way to resolve problems..much like the Chinese/Russian approach currently to world problems.

of course the Russians and Chinese are the two social entities that have had extensive socialist organizational experience and success and and are aware of this..their success given them the freedom to go to the next stage at least behaviorally in their dealings with the world

the Chinese and Russians have said no more imperialism but multi polarity in the world. that is a most significant development that could have come only from a maturing socialist reality,...experience and consistent intellectual outlook
