I got into a nice college and have good now, but I feel like those classes had less to do with it than I thought at the time and are more of a headache than they are worth. All of schooling is a monumental waste of time from a practical standpoint. The vast majority of people don't need it and the few industries that would benefit from specialized education can just have their own testing and leave it to mostly independent study.

It's the right length, just the wrong focus. Every program suffers from an unbelievable amount of core curriculum and elective bloat. The average 120 credit bachelor's degree only spends about 30-40 hours on actual Major-related classes (50-60 for hardcore shit like math, physics, engineering, etc.), and I've seen programs at accredited universities as low as 20-25, which is bordering on fucking Minor territory. Meanwhile all of these degrees will require 80-90 hours of gen eds and bullshit elective classes that only exist to justify the existence of some of the hang-on departments.
You could whittle down cores to one each of:
Math, Philosophy, Natural Science, Social Science, Rhetoric, Literature, History
and 2-3 electives. That'd be 30-40 credits, and the other 80-90 could all be major coursework. You'd be able to spend more time covering the knowledge and skills that students in a Major want and need to learn. Imagine how much more prepared students in a Computer Science or Physics or Engineering or Biology program would be if you were doing 20-25 courses in your Major area over the course of four years instead of 10-15.

Meanwhile people literally failing high school coursework with double digit IQ end up in undergrad programs.
For some people, 5 semesters after their AP coursework is overkill. For others, 5 decades could not raise them to the level their program should require. There's no (acceptable) solution.

It's all so tiresome. Tiresome to see, understand. Tiresome to watch. Tiresome to try to explain.
The financial system has been corrupted by well intentioned nonsense. Everything that has happened since the 50s/60s has been things meant to keep what was put in place viable, even though such things can never be viable without free infinite resources. Despite the obvious that many burdensome money programs have had no positive effect. Perhaps even in spite of such reality.
College was turned into a profit mill, same as housing (Housing should NEVER be a profit investment scheme - such activity means a society is heading for unavoidable disaster.)
It all comes down to bloating the GDP to bloat the inflation figures to bloat the profit number to bloat the tax base to attempt to pay for things that simply cannot be paid for. Remove welfare of all forms including Social Security Retirement and all of these problems go away in a decade.
No nation in history has ever survived the behavioral, social, and financial sinkhole that comes from well-wisher easy money welfare programs on top of using unceasing immigration to fill gaps and keep costs low.
Minimum Wage is a thing in particular which is both cause and effect of all of this. We got our $15/hr, now it's nowhere near enough so it needs to be $20. And next decade it has to be $30. Or 50. Wit hthe rate things are moving, your kids will flip burgers and stock shelves for $100 an hour and they still wont be able to provide a family of four without welfare and living poor.
>avg IQ has plunged
When a major business in the financial system needs 10 million new applicants every year to keep the books black they'll take every bleeding heart dumb enough to sign a contract for anything.
Don't forget how your credit rate went up to subsidize people who can't manage to make a $40 payment on time every month.
All effects and symptoms. Such a big multi dimensional spiral-web of downflowing shit.

I would've started with ceasing big business subsidies and/or bailouts tee bee aytch. That sucks up more tax dollars than any poor-person subsidies. Remember that poor people pay taxes twice - the first time is when their bosses profit, the second is when the government comes in for scraps.

Social security is not OK. It is a ponzie scheme. Population has to grow at a set rate, and income has to grow at a set rate for SSR to be solvent.
You can't pay for 40 million people's retirement checks from the miniscule SSR taxes taken out of 40 million people's paychecks. You need 120 million people to cover those 40.
But then, 40 years later you have 80 million people who need to be payed for. You can't cover that with the miniscule paycheck taxes from 160 million people.
It's broken by design. And I've not even gone into how an index'd growth fund would end up paying for itself (but we cant have that, because people are shit and will rob it!)

The dollar's value was defined in terms of weight of gold until 1934, when FDR made it illegal to own gold. However even when the dollar was gold denominated, the government would just announce "today the dollar is worth 20% less gold than it was yesterday because we want to print more money and use it to enrich ourselves and our patrons"

1 troy ounce was $30 from 1800-1970.

What? The gold standard was established in 1870. The government wanted to get rid of the gold standard in the 1920s. And finalized no more gold standard in 1971. Because they got tired of others countries buying gold low. And selling gold high.
USA was that kid in school that would buy/sell a piece of gun for a nickel in January. You buy 1,000 pieces. And buy and sell piece of gun for a dime in May. And you sell it back. Then he sells it for a nickel again in August. And you buy 3,000. That's why.

Because college is catch-all term for post-secondary education. People learning a skill like education, nursing, or engineering, that should really be taught at a vocational or technical college, are walking on the same campus as people studying the liberal arts like math, physics, philosophy, literature, etc.

Genotypic IQ may be lowering, although there is some conjecture, but IQ, in a holistic sense, is climbing due to environmental improvements. There is some evidence that it has stopped and is plummeting, which is scary to think about, of course. I'm in favour of genetic editing to produce superior, transcendent beings; imagine if the average IQ was 140 or 150. Elon Musk's a retard, fiddling around with metal, computation, and wires. He should be funding gene editing, but hey, he isn't going to make a profit from that endeavour, really. I doubt people are going to be interested in paying to improve their embryos, I'd say. Ethicists are likely quite perturbed by such an endeavour too, as they are with cloning, and for good reason, I will add. But I wouldn't say that they translate well. I'm deeply despondent about the future; I think the glory days are over, I really do. Liberalism has evolved into something masquerading as the principles of the Enlightenment. Liberalism is the doctrine of the lazy, inconsiderate, and perpetually hedonistic. Radical individualism will be the end of us, really. People, "enriched" by liberal ethics, are simply content to slough down into their lowest possible form. As of late, I've really developed an interest in virtue ethics.
If Kant, for example, were to travel to the modern day, what would he think? Would he feel some regret? like many men before him and during him, believed in the potentiality of man.
Very sad, it is. Men before our time had such care for the future, so much so that they would begin to construct sheer structures that would be, in their time, the epitome of civilizational excellence and rigour, structures that they wouldn't even see actualized, as they'd surely die beforehand. They'd build them for those who would live beyond them and bask in their glory.
The eternal boomer will always be upon us.

This eerily matches up with that one study from 2013 regarding the Victorians.
— ‘The Victorian era was marked by an explosion of innovation and genius, per capita rates of which appear to have declined subsequently. The presence of dysgenic fertility for IQ amongst Western nations, starting in the 19th century, suggests that these trends might be related to declining IQ. This is because high-IQ people are more productive and more creative. We tested the hypothesis that the Victorians were cleverer than modern populations, using high-quality instruments, namely measures of simple visual reaction time in a meta-analytic study. Simple reaction time measures correlate substantially with measures of general intelligence (g) and are considered elementary measures of cognition. In this study we used the data on the secular slowing of simple reaction time described in a meta-analysis of 14 age-matched studies from Western countries conducted between 1889 and 2004 to estimate the decline in g that may have resulted from the presence of dysgenic fertility. Using psychometric meta-analysis we computed the true correlation between simple reaction time and g, yielding a decline of − 1.16 IQ points per decade or − 13.35 IQ points since Victorian times. These findings strongly indicate that with respect to g the Victorians were substantially cleverer than modern Western populations.’

There are virtually no admissions standards anymore, so colleges get flooded with millions of students who can barely read, write, or do basic arithmetic or exhibit any critical thinking abilities. I had a student in one of my service courses this Spring who spent five minutes arguing with me that 4 x 9 = 49.
The massive boost in enrollment has been great for administrators wanting to cash in, but it's been a fucking disaster for the quality and value of college education.

Some African Americans have achieved success and become contributors to western society. Therefore Africans are not incapable and their failure demands alternative explanations. That explanation is simply that vertical social mobility is very hard to achieve.

According to various studies, the average IQ of college students has been declining over the years. A meta-analysis conducted by researchers found that the average IQ of undergraduates has fallen from around 119 in 1939 to 102 in 2022, which is just slightly above the population average of 100.
Another study suggests that the average IQ of college students has decreased by 17 points since 1939. This decline is attributed to various factors, including changes in education, demographics, and societal trends.
It’s also worth noting that IQ scores vary across different college majors. A study found that the more female-dominated a college major is, the lower the average IQ of the students studying in that major. Additionally, research has shown that having a high IQ is no guarantee of graduating from college, as even students with high IQ scores can still drop out.
Overall, while there is some debate about the exact causes and implications of the IQ drop, the available data suggests that the average IQ of college students has indeed been declining over time

This. Old cunt here. Did a BSc degree back in the 80's when it was still worth something. Just passing required hard work and only the very top students got A grades. A significant number of students failed papers and would have to do it again or change their course. Profs were hard assed cunts who would mark you down for the most trivial of mistakes. But to their credit they forced you to learn the material, it was well structured and made internal sense. So at the end you knew what you talking about.
25 years later, for various reasons, I did a post grad diploma.. Again in science. Same University. The change was astronomical. Firstly most of the course was hastily thrown together material that had no or little structure. Some of it was so easy I kept looking for trick questions, thinking no way a tertiary paper could have assignments that seemed to be more akin to high school standards. It took barely any effort to get B+ or an A, even for an old cunt like me who had been out of the learning system for a long time. I couldn't understand how anyone could fail to pass the course unless they literally submitted nothing and didn't show up to the exam.. Being naive and having ignored much of the world for the past two decades I couldn't figure out what was going on. Of course later I found out that many general degrees and diplomas had become almost worthless, handed out like candy. I actually did speak to a few profs about this, and was stunned when they told me they basically couldn't fail a student. Then for the most part my fellow "students" that I had met were...well, many of them were just fucking idiots.
Also I wasn't impressed by the modern Profs. Most of them struck me as whimsical twats who didn't understand their own subjects particularly well. Not like the battle-harded grumpy assholes of the 1980s who nonetheless knew their shit.

Needs to be reformed is something I agree upon, yet what makes me concerned is how no one is bringing up the absolute shitstorm that credentialism has rendered. Combining profitability with credentialism has been a disatser. Also, the existing Prussian legacy of industrialized public schooling has been a disaster for the average joe, but an absolute blessing for the elite. What /sci/ fags don’t understand is that the elite will never allow prosperity for the commoner even if deviations of higher than avg IQ individuals happen to emerge from the collective masses. The entire world was been built on rent-seeking, there needs to be an elite to maintain the system in its shape, you may honorably join them but on a number of conditions. The elite despises /sci/ niggers and sees them as their most vital working ants in order to saturate findings for themselves, which they do by awarding /sci/ tards the Nobel Prize so that they can feel good about themselves. IQ is a meme, all you need is rent-seeking. If you wish to escape a life of uncertainty, you must join the elite. The middle class doesn’t exist, it’s the elite and their labor masses, and it will always remain like this, period.

everyone has biases, but it's still important to check and examine from time to time. you're suggesting that others should judge black Americans by their most influential and successful. after generalizing the abilities of the top performers to the group, we are supposed to conclude that they're all reasonably competent.
part of the problem is this assumption, evident even with (you), that races are all equal in ability and culture - while lowering the bar for blacks as much as can be. judging a group on their best is a plea to ignore their bad qualities. any group can have a few diligent shrewd and hard working people. not only is this not representative of the group, but it's intentionally narrow in scope to give a non representative sample. maybe there is something to hide about the content of their character.
sure, there are exceptions. not enough to balance all the ugliness and decay blacks bring. their crime and violence make it hard for businesses to stay in the communities they move to. they lead in intra- and inter-racial homicide and its not even close. alternating between welfare and prison gibs is a permanent strain on the public budget. cause somebody's gotta pay. despite aggressive affirmative action and university race quotas, many get into drugs / crime anyway.
they have the highest rates of homicide. STDs, spousal abuse, cigarettes, narcissism, obesity, medicaid/ebt/subsidized housing, etc.
for things to get better, a lot needs to happen. the welfare has to end, and they need to be independent again. the first step to fixing a mistake is accepting responsibility. making excuses or dismissing their problems is cowardshit, especially since they're dragging everything else down too

The social problems in our country that led to degradation of quality has many origins, but the most important part of it all is that America still practices the social dynamics of the 19th century as a pioneering nation.
Russia also has similar issues.
First order of business is mass deportations and expulsion of purposefully bussed in foreign demographics, but in the long term, both sides who are absolutely at each other's throats should reconcile the fact that it's not always practical to practice a pioneering settler mentality for an advanced nation supposedly capable of leading the world.
The Profs. in the 80s were all WW2, Korea, and Vietnam vets, but now we have a cadre of faculty who are essentially more interested in their social status as tenured professors and meeting metrics required by others instead of quality and excellence.
There's also the fact that due to the needs of the Cold War, people decided to practice a national security and military industrial complex centered dynamic that is highly dysgenic in the long term. If a war is to waged, people need to set up a definitive plan to achieve victory outright instead of dragging it out for whole generation's lifetime.
If you combine this together with the fact that people are still socially practicing dynamics that was in existence from 19th century, that means everyone is basically being taught the same way nogs were taught in plantation schools.
People are not being taught by faculty members who would be proud and reward pupils who exceed them. People are being taught by those who might regard those who exceed them as a threat, the same way non-conformists and nogs who are too smart in plantation schools would be punished or at least subtly discouraged.
We have problems with elective bloat, where three or even five elective classes could have been taught in a single course in the 80s. Universities have become degree mills because people now prioritize churning out mediocre drones.

2/2
Basically, universities are now encouraged to be degree mills, or perish. Only very exclusive institutions will be granted the leeway to have dedicated faculty who are actually interested in teaching and handing down knowledge to their students. The fact that corrupted, deceptive administration figures and policy makers in our colleges have become delusional in their bubble and continue to reinforce absolutely self-destructive policies such as diversity, equity, and inclusion or sexual obscurantism trying to legitimatize lgbtqwhatever++++ is a symptom of an older issue that is weighing down both US and Russia (and to certain degree, western EU and especially UK - AUS - NZ - CA).
The tenured faculty pushing for those policies are also the ones who inspire others to push for watering down quality in favor of passing along general knowledge, instead of intense, dedicated education and instructions people understood to the norm up until the 80s. Since people practice the same dynamic of wanting to maintain the kind of social atmosphere as they practiced from the 19th century, the 'logical' end solution is to lie through their teeth, welcome more compliant DEI hires, water down the curriculum in favor of quantity as opposed to quality, etc etc.
This also winds up pushing out faculty who are actually dedicated to teaching and are interested in substantial investment in their students, because it has become unprofitable and against the overall agenda at play.
Long story short, unless people are willing to eventually peel themselves away one way or another from the older dynamic, longer the problems will persist. It doesn't even matter if Trump makes a comeback in 2025 to retake the WH, if the people backing the effort are just the other side of the same coin with heavy cope in their minds and are being hypocrites, then the problems will keep persisting.

Some time ago I bought a big, old, used mathematics textbook for almost nothing. It was from 1972, the 13th edition. It included precalculus, calculus and some linear algebra. All theorems had great demonstrations and there were more than thousand exercises in total. This was the basic first year textbook for all hard sciences and engineering in my country back in the 50s and 60s.
It is stupid how much more slow, steep this book is compared with my modern equivalent without taking into account just how much more content there were.
Kids today just don't study. There see no point in earning grades as they are already given into them (I don't care about this guy but I concur with his main point):

Considering how many more Asians have existed than Europeans and considering how hard Europeans have brutally mogged Asians in EVERY intellectual pursuit, you have to question the IQ testing and its limitations. Maybe this has to do with who takes the tests or what the tests are measuring or what they are not measuring. In terms of EQ the Jews mog everyone, which is how they are able to manipulate and parasite.

Got it, so acephalic stormfronters would like to use IQ tests to bash browns and blacks, and simultaneously discredit them for placing asians and "jews" above them.

Sublime strawman - simply sublime, my friend.
You display a phenomenal, almost manicheist ability to collapse any issue into either
* "blackie bad, whitey good :)"
* "you say blackie good, you bad :)"
It is almost superb - reminds me a little of picrel.
>So you’re saying Africans are intelligent and European’s didn’t invent or create 90% of everything?
No, WHERE in my post did I say anything even remotely like what you wrote?
Here's what I am, in fact, saying:
1. Some people like to use IQ tests to claim blacks and browns are inferior
2. The same people do not like being confronted with the fact that Asians and Jews typically score higher than whites
3. 2. happens because accepting it would undermine their thesis that IQ tests prove white superiority - doing so, in their (your) simple minds, would mean they (you) have to accept that asians and jews are superior - since they're willing to stake their sense of self-worth and ideology on a test originally designed to screen for mental disability in young students - NOT to identify talent or genius
From 2. and 3. usually derives a defense like the one you just wrote
>So you’re saying [...] European’s didn’t invent or create 90% of everything?
Which is simplifying history, and forgetting that
* "white" people were NEVER a monolith,
* that "Europeans" doesn't really mean anything - in the US, lynchings and riots didn't just target black people; there are many instances of anti-irish, italian and german sentiment across its history
* you are taking credit for the achievements of people who would view you as an underclass savage, and with whom you have little in common

There's some truth to this. Both Korea and Japan ran roughly parallel to Western Europe in terms of literacy rates, if not even earlier due to the imperial examination system.
A lot of the public education system as well as bureaucratic mechanism that we take for granted were refined by East Asia a bit earlier than the present day West.
Europe went through a period of 'dark ages' that really did set everyone back by at least a few hundred years. The brutality of the barbarian invasion period meant that it took until early 11th century for people to regain the vigor and optimism necessary for everyone to start thinking beyond what is essentially subsistence and survival level of social dynamic.

Asians on average are cripplingly stupid. The vast majority are Chinese and Indian, which requires no additional substantiation. The Middle East can easily be written off too. South Asia is just beyond abhorrent and it's an embarrassment to the West that they even allowed outsourcing to make them rich. If there's anything that Westerners need to get rid of, it's the idea of using slave labor. They just end up making the slaves rich and now the slaves revolt on a geopolitical level.
When people tout intelligent Asians it's almost always East Asia, namely South Korea and Japan. They brute forced the grind and made it head and shoulders above the squalor that is the Asian gene pool. Did not fix the issues with collectivism though, they'd benefit a bit more if there were more self interest.

Mexicans on college campuses are all the same way, they're filthy and they don't go to class. they aren't there to learn, they're only there to get housed and fed for free
