A simple IQ test followed by a personality test would be enough for 90% of jobs. The IQ test will determine how trainable you are and the personality test would weed out the psychos, the dishonest and general trouble makers. The only trouble is that the Supreme Court ruled in the Duke power case that it’s racist to do this, so now you get go to university to be indoctrinated and made into a debt slave to get a credential that might get you a job.

Many people have asked me: what is the modal outcome of college?

The male graduate has a big pile of bankruptcy-immune debt, no skills, no better job prospects than those he started with and thanks to his newfound dunce cap possibly worse, no mate and no issue, and no clear path to mate or issue.

The female graduate has no plausibly permanent mate, several illicit liaisons’ emotional and metaphysical baggage, a totally fried pair-bonding mechanism, a gassed-up sense of superiority such as only a woman can possess, and a big pile of bankruptcy-immune debt.

College: a roaring success, unironically.

“In order not to do it in a vacuum, the people who were developing it went to all these big corporations and said ‘Well, what are the skills that you really want out of a college graduate?’ And not surprisingly, they wanted things like being able to read an article in The Economist and write a good summary. Or to look at graphs and make some inferences.”

In other words, some silly overseers stopped by the manor and asked some silly mid-level managers some silly questions.

College isn’t about jobs training or transmission of knowledge, college is about de-facto indenturing the male student and de-facto sterilizing the female student.

It is what it is.
