    So, what’s wrong with that? If the worst people are all highly educated people, then there should soon only be the good people left that aren’t as well educated. Right?

      Ohh, nononono. You made a fatal assumption that the worst people are the ONLY bad people, and obviously that’s not true. The state is actively borking education because it needs to maintain its supply of sycophants.

        So why did you claim that “it’s the likely wealthy, highly educated people” that are bad? Choose your words better and don’t make blanket statements.

          Okay, so what I literally said was:

          The problem with that is, in many cases, being highly educated probably means you came from money, which usually translates to some of the worst people we could possibly be sending.

          See how I used words like “probably”, “usually”, and “worst”? That’s because I wasn’t making a blanket statement that “all of the highly educated people are bad”, I’m saying that amongst the highly educated are the very worst of people. That’s a really important distinction.
