College is hazing
College is hazing.
We don't usually put it that way, but that's how it is. Frats and sports and band tend to have more physical forms of hazing. We've recently started punishing them for their highly effective methods. We don't punish math profs or pre-med profs or Critical Queer Theory profs for their equally effective forms of hazing, which can be even more damaging to the soul and sanity of the rejects.
Basically the four years of undergrad school are designed to select OUT the students who don't have the peculiar set of talents and temperaments for each specific discipline. After the successive layers of sieving out the dross, the sharply tuned remainder is given actual training in grad school.
Jesus. What a fucking waste.
Community colleges and for-profit tech schools don't do much hazing. Their mission from the start is training, not sieving. Only the worst behavior problems get kicked out.
Why is the hazing necessary in 'real' universities? Because we're stuck in the idiotic leftist lie that all humans are identical.
Because we're delusional, we waste the years from age 9 to 18 for everyone, then waste 19 through 22 for many.
If we broke out of the lie, we could place students in appropriate tracks or paths at age 9 when everybody shows what they're meant to do. By age 16 everyone would be ready for immediate jobs or further training, depending on type of talent. The longest training could be finished by 23 instead of 30.
Best part: This would eliminate universities as now designed. Universities have proved themselves to be virulent and pestiferous sources of corruption.
