- American bushido, the obsession with lethality, warrior ethos, and tactical “merit” was the logical endpoint of an all volunteer professional military. But it’s bleeding into the rest of American society in increasingly unhealthy ways. My latest⬇️

View full threadWhen people say trades like electricians, plumbers, and welders routinely earn $60–100K+, they are often saying too many people attend college.

- If a college education makes a person a more productive doer of job x for more jobs, then having more people go to college and develop skills for a broader range of specific jobs is the ten lane highway. The idea isn’t for everybody to be a paper pusher, but for all jobs to be done better. 7/
- People have been able to cheat their way through a STEM degree for decades, this is a known major problem, and only with the advent of AI has this even been noticed by the humanities, who have decided to melt down and reinvent the wheel instead of just asking their peers how they cope with it.
- The majority of CS graduates cannot write or maintain code at all. This is not an AI issue, it’s been true for decades, that’s why all the tech companies needed to develop interview processes to filter these people out because the degree is not a reliable signal of skill or competence.
- I hire these people and I used to teach these people, and I don't disagree with any of this. but why would humanities people ask CS professors for advice on how to cope with with endemic cheating if the answer is demonstrably "we had no choice but to stop caring"?
