2) Women in the workplace has been a disaster and most women would be happier raising children at home. Higher education for women is frequently wasted.

3) College for everyone is an absurd and wasteful goal and most people would be better off in a Swiss-style apprentice system.

4) Our $825 billion defense budget could be slashed in half without making us any more unsafe. It is driven by irrational fear and greed.

5) The IQ gap can be explained almost solely by genetics and this gap explains a lot of societal issues.

6) Democracy itself is largely a bad idea. Most voters are clueless and uninformed and the founders were rightly worried about mob rule.

7) Our modern consumer society is breeding misery and runs counter to everything we know about what constitutes a good life and fostering happiness.

"Almost solely" is too strong. But the genetics are very strong.

Agree this is outside the window - I'm just saying we have a better chance of having the conversation if we start with the inevitability of hierarchy (v its desirability).

The US penal population of 2.2 million adults is the largest in the world. In 2012, close to 25% of the world's prisoners were held in American prisons, although the United States accounts for about 5% of the world's population. The US rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5- to 10-times higher than rates in Western Europe and other democracies.

Based on the results of its study, the NRC calls the US incarceration rates "historically unprecedented and internationally unique".

First sentence is true. Second sentence is rated mostly false. No one disputes the utter greed and waste in defense spending. But it's not from irrational fear. It's from the US's long term strategic view of projecting power globally and maintaining superpower status. Also our military realizes the importance of spring training, ie, gotta give our boys practice in actual shooting so they're ready for the next real war. (China doesn't get this and will get pwned when the showdown happens. No one in the Chinese army from the generals on down has ever been in combat ljl)

real talk thats outside the overton is that we need serious drug laws to lock up criminal nigs when we dont yet have evidence of their violent crimes.

believe me, no decent white person is in prison for oops possession. thats a weird canard but you should have known libs were lying since youve met thousands of drug users in college+professional settings and NONE of them have gone to prison for it

Genetic engineering for higher IQ populations should be a priority.

Dumbs should be provided incentives to not breed and higher IQ healthy people should be provided incentives to breed.

whether they should be offered as majors at all at schools beneath the top 25-30 or so (being generous) is highly debatable. nobody being "trained" as a philosopher at a lesser school will be able to contribute to the field or use his education in a productive way.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3864495&forum_id=2#35189988)

philosophy can still be a good double major or minor but anyone focusing entirely on philosophy or literature at a worse school would be better off at least splitting time between that and pre-law, some easy business garbage, rudimentary programming, even something like journalism tbh.

the point is that kids are increasingly treating college as an extension of high school – not so much as preparation for what you’re going to do with your life (which would force them to think much more seriously as to whether college is even appropriate for them) but as something that is almost a necessity today, regardless of your major. so kids go through the system without much thought, and then after ending up on the job market realize that they don’t know what they need to know to be employable. this would be fine for a) the potential contributor, b) the kid from money, or c) the kid with a pedigree to get a job regardless, but for anyone else it’s a waste of years and tuition $.

these kids are then left to spend more years and $ on dumb graduate degrees like MBAs and journo degrees when they were just as capable of learning everything that they'd learn in those programs as an undergrad. this is the kind of stuff that should be taught at the undergraduate level. MBAs exist in part precisely because the material isn’t hard, which leads to employers treating credentials as a proxy for intelligence, but in principle kids are still capable of learning this material without having to do second degrees.

i am all for the idea of a liberal arts education but, especially for non-elite kids, it needs to be anchored in some sort of constructive training.

You need to back up and ask the purpose of college/grad school. The answer is to prepare the next generation for employment. Full stop.

but there are rapidly diminishing returns for kids at lesser schools who are loading up on literature just because they find other subjects "boring" or because they "don't like math" or something. at that point it's no longer about exposure or "culturing".
