Hear me out Compulsory education’s goal is to create a good worker You do not need much education or any second order thinking skills to - follow a road sign - memorize a shitcoin ticker - read TikTok captions - work on an assembly line - send emails - be swayed by an advertisement You do not need second order thinking for most jobs in our economy, and have not for my whole life I hazard And our education system is no longer producing good workers. 1/3 of all zoomers jobless, or so I read. How many of them went to college, carry debt and have no prospects? The situation is untenable. We have vastly overproduced elite aspirants per Turchin Especially with the AI age incipient why should the state pay for day care for teenagers. By 14 we will know who deserves the last knowledge jobs, they will be metered out by some combination of nepotism, family wealth and sheer brainpower.

For me personally I at this point would burn everything down edu included and start from 0 That said I think the OAI AI policy proposals give a good look at where we are headed. Things like using tax advantaged College funds for construction training or HVAC training
