Obsessed with this quote from an AI bro who is under the impression that horses "can do whatever they want now" as a result of the invention of the car.

For far to many people, the "point of going to school" is to be sorted into the bin where you get guaranteed high income.

Like, none of the actual education matters, it's the sorting, which means grades and things.

I always kind of knew this, but it really hit home when my terrible summer session decision theory class at USC had some masters student do a decision analysis on which luxury car his daddy should buy him when he graduated.
