Higher Debt Miseducation

If the right to a college degree was rescinded and schools returned to previous high standards of educational instruction, the intellectual class would be restored and with it high cultural standards would return, with art and values based on attainable aspirational ideals instead of cheap hedonism and envious escapist fantasies.

The mass of mediocre 105-115 IQs with degrees would no longer remain loud as privileged standard makers. Instead, only the gifted interested in learning would go to universities, and curricula could return to their pre-flood levels. This would protect the public from credentialed idiots spouting mob opinions for popularity and promoting destructive political and social ideas as progress because they have never thought much about those issues, considered the implications of what they promote, or studied the topics on which they provide guidance for others.

In this return to sanity, practical and known solutions would regain prominence, and there would no longer be political will to waste money on fantasy actions that neither solve problems nor change anything for the better.
