Its not non thinking at all.... Convert Universities to focussed research centers... If you want to read History - go to the Library. In many cases - what they teach in science in year 1 is obsolete in year 4. Have you not heard industry complaining? Online education allows kids in USA, Russia, China, Israel, S. America to communicate and discuss subject matter 24/7 365 days a year for..... I don't know, for the rest of their lives..... Colleges have a huge carbon footprint and racist because the costs are exclusionary to a huge part of the population... Online education gives kids in the Amazon access to the same teaching resources as Harvard kids. - The huge equalizer that scares elitists - mostly on the left. Online education Its a huge equalizer that is blind to race, gender, economic status, religion, skin color" #1 University in my State is $18,000 year for an undergrad Business degree.... (not including fees, lodging, food, books etc).... They have been voted the #1 party university in the country. To many this is an embarrassment but the University simply banks it cos kids like to party and snowboard.... Imagine Nelson Mandela (in his day) being able to teach a global online class, available for eternity. in prejudice..... invaluable. Todays colleges are (for the most part) a joke.... Leaders of industry in this country attribute their success to not going to college and learning group Think/Speech. "That is how to get rid of poverty , ghettos, crime and increase productivity. Develop the citizens mind! " I agree.... (qualified).

I am actually a little annoyed at you Koan. You claim you did a 4 year degree in Existentialism (pretentious name for philosopy). I assume you FAILED cos an Existentialist would never have accused me of "non thinking". "Harvard Business School professor: Half of American colleges will be bankrupt in 10 to 15 years.... Christensen and co-author Henry Eyring analyze the future of traditional universities, and conclude that online education will become a more cost-effective way for students to receive an education, effectively undermining the business models of traditional institutions and running them out of business." https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/15/hbs-professor-half-of-us-colleges-will-be-bankrupt-in-10-to-15-years.html I did a search on jobs in transport , medicine, tech, high school etc... and having a degree in Existentialism was NEVER a plus or need or actually given lip service... you should have just gone to Church on Sundays. or run as a Democrat and ruminate on Gender bathrooms. - thats where the money is. Definition. "existentialism is a philosophy concerned with finding self and the meaning of life through free will, choice, and personal responsibility. The belief is that people are searching to find out who and what they are throughout life as they make choices based on their experiences, beliefs, and outlook. And personal choices become unique without the necessity of an objective form of truth. An existentialist believes that a person should be forced to choose and be responsible without the help of laws, ethnic rules, or traditions."
