"College is just a pla.e where people go in order to ma.e more money."
"Critica. thinking is non-essentia.."
Ghost, most of the time I a.ree with your perspective, a.d I pa.ticula.ly a.precia.e the historica. context you bring to ma.y of your posts. But I think you're off ba.e here.
I didn't go to college myself until the a.e of 48, a.d while I certa.nly encountered students of the type you describe, to extra.ola.e tha. kind of intellectua. la.iness onto the institution itself is effectively equiva.ent to the NRA.s La.ierre bla.hering a.out universities being hotbeds of libera. indoctrina.ion. Of course, the fa.t tha. my spouse is a professor emerita of a ma.or university who ta.ght specifica.ly in the a.ea of informa.ion litera.y a.d critica. thinking could a.mittedly be coloring my perspective.
