    I can’t blame all of it on Western LLM. No Child Left Behind, The Southern Strategy, and it wasn’t great before then. Thirty years ago, I had younger cousins who were privileged enough to attend private, upper tier universities (but not Ivy League), who hadn’t read Homer in liberal arts education.

    The Century of American Humiliation

    With a ton of academia leaving this fascist shithole for their home countries, the US continuing to dismantle the education system and the capitalization of higher education the US is going to become irrelevant pretty quickly on the world stage.

    Many generations have called their children idiots, but it takes something special to put on lab coats and conduct scientific studies to show how stupid they really are.

        My fault, I should leave space for the folks who were about to type replies in a social media post that would help correct the multinational education crisis. Probably even retroactively.

          If I misunderstood your comment and alpakala made me understand correctly, I offer my apologies. It read entirely differently to me, as in my reply to that comment.

            Yes, dear. If only everyone’s social media replies were as positive and educational as yours.
