For someone like me, highly skeptical about “higher” education for so long, this could present itself as a dream come true.

Why? Because this reveals two very important things.

First, that what we call “higher” education is deteriorating by the day, collapsing under its own weight from the inside.

Secondly, and more importantly, in reality we are not witnessing nothing new. This is merely the crumbling of a façade that hid a pre-existing reality — that what we call “higher” education has always been something prone to corruption, and by the fashion it is crumbling we can in fact state that it was itself corrupt in nature.

We have been promoting and defending a cadaver that only stood on its feet because a whole industry ahead of it kept it fed by absorbing its waste products. The industrial garbage spewed by what we call “higher” education has been successfully kept by society solely due to a recycing mechanism of industrial waste that was built for purpose.

Now either of two fates awates us: i) the opportunity will be seized to rebuild “higher” education into something worthy of calling itself higher, or ii) the degradation will be adopted as the new standard and following will be its spreading into the industries.

In any case, a meritful goal will have been achieved: the façade will have been removed exposing the true nature of the reality we have been living in.

I recall with satisfaction with myself, the first day I set foot on “university”. When I found myself sorrounded by a horde of savages who had already been “highly” educated there, I realized that the fate that awaited these institutions was as certainly bleak as death is certain for any man. Only enough time would stand between that moment and the closing end of this beautiful story of decay and rotting of another social psychotic industrial fantasy.
