No surprise that Hera has run away from his ridiculous statements in the other thread. Hera, you needn't feel threatened by stupid people getting advantages. You're one of them.

Well that's a creative interpretation.

DaShi I never claimed that I was unusually intelligent. Usually when I discuss issues like this I am not seeking or advocating for policies that would bring me personal gain. The goal is to have a society that functions well and to do the most good for the most people.

Pushing average and below average people into student debt for worthless degrees is not optimal. Forcing people to prolong their education for years as postgrads so that they get a shot at sending the same kind of signals to employers that where once (in the age of more exclusive education) sent by having a college diploma is not optimal. Wasting so much of our resources trying to do the impossible with ideas that "anyone can do anything!" is not optimal.

Everyone could be better off if we did a major reform of higher education along the lines for example Murray proposes.
