These comments come from an article critical of modern education by Bill Bonner:
Contemporary education is a dead end. The industry has been taken over by zombies. Huge amounts of money — public, private, charitable, debt, savings, earnings — are invested. The output is small, dubious and perhaps even negative.
We know that in some fields, such as economics, the more instruction a person has, the less he knows. Economics — as taught in many universities — is a value-subtracting discipline. As to other fields — politics, sociology, literature, gender studies — we are suspicious.
