@2a70c54d What makes me saddest is that I do think a lot of young people want very badly to learn, to be educated, to reason, but they're under a truly bizarre kind of pressure to get straight As without learning anything, major in moneymaking without developing skills that make money, and spend every waking second earning low-income wages rather than investing time along with money on their future. More students are failing out, which is infinitely more expensive than doing well.
