This is the kind of stuff that convinces me that Western academia is about to slam into a brick wall and die

No, learning things in school and doing scientific research is good. Letting that get destroyed by a couple of Silicon Valley olicharchs is bad.

Obviously the Byzantine admission system and absurd tuition fees in the US (and UK) are horrific, but that's not what's being destroyed here.

I felt that way when I was 18, and knew more about certain topics than my professors did because I had the internet. Also, I remember realising that education was more about tolerating bureacracy than actually knowing material, when I was 10.

Sheesh, the US education system stucks
