Everything from grant awarding institutes, foundations etc. to research universities. Everything is about exclusivity, credentials, bureaucracy and tuition or taxes.
I feel education beyond post-secondary is disingenuous.
Even professors and their labs seem to be run by greed, prestige/ego or salary. I find it unappealing, and I actually look down on it. But industry is no better.
I can't believe it. Some colleges are not like this, but the entire concept of a college in the first place is just as bad, leveraging education for tuition to fund research to avoid reliance on tax funded grants which there aren't enough of in the first place (ergo). Tax funded grants fuel the need for exploitative businesses to raise tax revenue. Graduate school is excessively long. Undergraduate education is becoming too focused on crystalized knowledge over fluid thinking.
Arbitrary grading curves pit students against each other, making grades relative and subjective to the mean of the cohort rather than to an objective score of achievement (not in all cases, but the norm).
Anyway. I'm very fed up with American life in fundamental and major ways.
We lack important applicable knowledge because research is bottlenecked by funding and exclusivity/ego. Meanwhile, people behave as if undiscovered truths don't exist because they haven't been discovered yet and behave without respect to plausible consequences of doing so potentially putting people at risk. Then, meanwhile again, a decent chunk of people only care about exploiting for riches while they're young. I feel America is screwed.
