Re: Higher(?) education

Quote: In case you hadn't noticed, most higher education has become a racket - a frivolity that has become too expensive in terms of both money and opportunity costs. At least half of those in American colleges don't really need to be there.
At least half, but not all.
And that may be the truth in US colleges, but certainly US isn't the whole world, and in some countries the opportunity costs are very low compared to the potential gain.

Quote: and the colleges themselves are likely to limit intellectual development.
Again, that's a huge generalization, giving a chance to a teen to learn is better than giving no chance at all and giving all the responsabilities to their parents (or to themselves, though they were greatly influenced by the skills received from their parents anyway, specially if they don't interact with others).

Quote: Also, "preservatives" is not a synonym for prophylactics (birth control) in English. False cognate.

Oh, thanks for that :D
