Should the title be "futility of university study"? ;-)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 9 January 2011 01:31, ilyan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ilyan.thomas@virgin.net">ilyan.thomas@virgin.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

It is as well to inform the young that it was worth having a degree when<br>
less than 5% of the population went to University, and a lot of those<br>
were so rich they were never going to compete in the jobs market.<br>
<br>
Read up what Spinoza said. or was it Descartes?<br>
<br>
Bright people are likely to get sponsorships from the likes of IBM to go<br>
to get a useful degree at University followed by an assured job.<br>
Duller people will go into debt to get a degree to compete to work for a<br>
Corporation so driving down wages.<br>
<br>
Tregeles Price the Ironmaster finding it expensive to employ people<br>
who could read and do sums, built a free school in the village. It<br>
was not long before he was able to stop paying fancy wages to induce<br>
the literate to live there.<br>
<br>
I do have a substatial contempt for Academics in Economics and Politics<br>
who have not seen the internal flaw in Marxism, nor understood (so the<br>
necessary taxes are not applied) how Keynes avoids the internal flaw in<br>
Capitalism. I generally call for dogmatic Marxist bigots to be<br>
replaced by scientific Marxists. I find none.<br>
<br>
I go out of my way to kick the politically correct. They<br>
hypocritically turn accurate descriptions into insults, and make ripe<br>
idiots of themselves misusing terms that are quite wrong for what they<br>
are describing.<br>
<br>
Education has been reduced to indoctrination to make easy cogs to fit in<br>
the Capitalist machine. Some people have an Educational CD that<br>
includes reliable books from the Plebs' League, and reliable teaching as<br>
put out by the CIA in "The Analysis of Intelligence".<br>
<br>
I recommend that last book though it is widely hated by half baked<br>
Socialists. I puzzle why there are so many of them when Socialist<br>
ideas were brought fully baked into Wales in the 1880s. To flower in<br>
"The Miners' Next Step" in 1912, and be sold out by half baked Trades<br>
Union Congress in 1926.<br>
