This has been studied a great deal, people who have extra ordinary high intelligence, rarely turn up in positions of academic prestige or high posts in organizations. The people with genius level brains mostly end up in relatively mundane professions. Maybe our present societies lacs the appropriate interface for highly intelligent brains or something.

You're out of your mind if you think we'd paywall knowledge or learning in socialism. Quite the opposite we'd pay people to learn shit or get skills.

Scholarships are not an excuse to exclude the masses from knowledge or learning. It doesn't count as empowering the proletariat unless it's available to the entire proletariat.

The real problem is that college is over-promoted as the golden ticket to the good life.

.Most people think college is gonna save them from doing elbow grease hence why college expenses are so high.

This is inherently a left-wing problem. The leftist myth that all humans are born as blank slates with equal potential means there is no reason why everyone should not go to college and become brain surgeons. If they fail it must be some environmental cause like systemic-racism or not enough socialism.

>Most people think college is gonna save them from doing elbow grease hence why college expenses are so high.
College fees are high in western countries because the government guarantees the loans and the government has infinite money. Do you really think that greedy capitalist investors would give out $200,000 loans to 18 year olds to study gender theory otherwise? If you're smart you'll ask the real question which is what is the government getting from the universities in exchange for propping up their insanely high tuition fees.

First off, it's liberals who over promoted college not leftists.
Second, most young people who get loans for college are not going into gender studies. That's a conservative myth.

The real purpose of promoting college is to reinforce the institution of adolescence.

It doesn't matter how much you hate them liberals are not right-wing.

>most young people who get loans for college are not going into gender studies.
It doesn't change the point which is that as long as there are kids who are somehow getting massive loans to study economically nonviable degree subjects then there is no business justification for a private profit maximizing entity to expect that loan to be repaid unless the government was intervening.

>That's a conservative myth.
Breathing oxygen is a conservative myth. Better start holding your breath you fucking white supremacist.

lots of strawmen here.
How many college kids do you encounter that actually do gender studies?
Again thats an outlier.
Most are going into STEM.

Again schools need to preach about trades but wont do so.

The post you are responding to does not mention gender studies.

>strawmen
Do you know what projection is.
