- I think in part the higher education funding crisis and the LLM-teaching crisis actually strike at the same problem, which is that education doesn't work without a broad, society-wide sense that the *actual content* of education - not the credential - is valuable.
- The thing is, I think it is valuable. Understanding the past more broadly helps in making decisions in the present. Being able to write and communicate effectively is useful. A basic understanding of How Science Works is important for workers and informed consumers. The actual content is valuable.

- Instead, I think we are ill-served by the empty cynicism of 'go to college to get a job' rather than the notion that education is a form of self-improvement that produces a better, more capable version of yourself.
