caldrail Posted March 14, 2021 Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 All you've done is stated an idea. You haven't described the process by which education caused a collapse of the Roman state. It is hard to see why there's any connection. I mean, I'm well educated, but so far I haven't threatened the stability of British government or the western world.

Childress Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I mean, I'm well educated As is yours truly, at a once prestigious institution in the late 70s that is now sunk in Woke philosophy. Those with practical degrees- STEM, prominently- are less likely to aspire to government posts. In the US the number of Liberal Arts graduates soared after WW2 thanks to the GI bill (and ambitious parents?) but that trend is now losing favor so one might expect a diminution of those chasing state employments in the future. Or not, the emoluments remain enticing and job security is ironclad guarded by aggressive unions. This is happening all over the West.
