Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

@catturd2 Ho @catturd2
Apologies, I was wrong. In Kentucky, a special election is held to fill a vacant US Senate seat. Governor does not appoint.
Enjoy your posts!

[DGladden @kyvault]

@catturd2 You won’t.
Kentucky has a liberal Democratic governor with presidential aspirations. It would be up to him to appoint a replacement if Mitch resigns.
Don’t like it, just the way it is.

@atensnut Hang him. And balance his weight with a pig carcass.

@ChrisMartzWX Chris, I have a hand-written travelogue from my grandmother who recounted an automobile trip from Detroit to Denver in 1935. She noted temperatures in the 110s….I thought she was exaggerating.
This, by the way, was 4 people in a 1935 Ford Tudor. Must have been brutal.

@ScottPresler @scottpresler has methodically and relentlessly attacked a problem the rest of us have been wringing our hands about for years. He is a hero.
He has the fat-assed, cigar-chomping back-room Republican leadership on their heels.
Thank you and Godspeed sir!

@KYCooperrider Feature and not a bug indeed, Mr Cooperrider.
See: Walz, Pritzker, Newsom…..or nearly any Democrat politician….or Republican for that matter.

@carolmswain @Clear @DHSgov Absurd and maddening. What do Blackburn and Hagerty have to say about this?

@FrankBr05713205 Worked at a Gulf station when I was 16. Guy came in wanting $5 regular, and said he was going to pick up his wife who had all the money. Never came back. Owner said next time to ask for the spare tire.
Good $5 lesson, I guess. 😕
