In the 1970's 4% of UK students went to University, we are now circa 40%. The degrees/work must be dumbed down at a first degree graduate level, it hasn't got anymore complex, probably less so with technology assistance. But, it allows the University market to expand and we now have Vice Chancellors earning £400,000 + pa riding on the back of graduates' loan repayments.
Having been in IT Publishing from late 80s - AS400, DEC VAX etc to early 2000s I saw how these tech behemoths swallowed everything up. Your analysis of the nefarious agenda and methodology is spot on. Thought provoking.
The brain drain is alive and well in many sectors, and DEI agendas most definitely fuel this. I have observed that air traffic controllers for instance in the US have lowered entrance exams and assessments in order to accommodate ethnically diverse people who cannot pass. Likewise I read the other day about law bar exams of which there is even talk about doing away with on the name of equal access for all. Where will this end? The impact of these reductive measures will not end well. Apparently the number of near misses in our skies has massively increased.
From a UK university perspective, I can personally attest as I re-entered education recently, that my institute is not interested in debate, or enriching knowledge. Lecturers come in, talk at you or indoctrinate with a 50 page PowerPoint, discourage questions or debate and then leave in a cloud of disinterest or even distaste. It is shocking. You are bombarded with information, but of a DEI kind - trans, mental health, black whatever month, pride, wellbeing, self care and whole array of DEI events and opportunities. It is a massive psy op designed to dumb-down, distract and divide. I call it a triple D strategy.
Unfortunately it is working as the majority of young people around me at Uni have no drive, enthusiasm or interest. Many never speak and appear not to be well, both physically and mentally. Obesity is rife and pride in personal appearance is non existent. I overheard a conversation where a student was outraged that lecturers do not ask pro-nouns of every student before addressing a class. This same student moaned how she is scrapping through with passes, but was going to spend her time complaining to the faculty as she did not feel in a 'safe space.'
