Big Tech Recognizing the Façade of the Education System
On the one hand, a non college graduate would escape the concrete conversion into the post modern world, that is a definite plus; but on the other hand, perhaps they'd be more vulnerable to the leftest culture that pervades these work places of post modern worship and altruism.
I champion the one's that succeed without a worthless degree but does that give them any immunity against the idiocies they are likely to be exposed to.

University of Chicago professor Richard Weaver recognized this in the late 1940s when he wrote his famous work, "Ideas Have Consequences". As he notes in the following passage, "the education system as we know it today has become a type of Potemkin Village – a great façade, but nothing of substance supporting it:"
The post modernist in the 50's made Liberal arts education eventually worthless.
The movement started when a few thinkers were dismayed at the progress of the attainment of knowledge. They doubted that mankind could actually gain knowledge through reason so they thought to deconstruct everything down to it's most basic principles...but then...it got ugly, they failed... they were stuck in a quagmire.
Seems to me that they didn't understand the evolution of thought, knowledge, experimentation and technology but what was surprising is the outright denial of knowledge already gained, (the understanding of things on a intimate level; ie, growing food, building machines...all the things that brought us to that point.)
They expected that mankind would of known everything under the sun in the 1800's. Not to mention, I am sure they observed that not all men could reason effectively...same thing now days...and most are at the extremes, at the top and at the bottom of society.
How dumb was that?
