Unless something dramatic happens, the impact of the SCOTUS ruling will be negligible at best. American male student enrollment in college and university has been declining by 2% annually since 1960. The campus culture is just revoltingly toxic for an otherwise mentally healthy young adult and that's without factoring in the general worthlessness of a college education.

the general worthlessness of a college education

Why do college graduates make more money then?

I do agree that education is in decline, which is probably caused by the rise of the smartphone, which has rotten the brain of people away until almost nothing.

  • Correlation vs causation: The type of person to pursue and complete a college degree, is also the type of person to often make a better employee.
  • HR Barrier: A lot of HR and companies will avoid, or try to nickle-and-dime people without college degrees, including using that fact in negotiations.

I interviewed people with advanced degrees and almost all of them were idiots, but the people without a degree would never make it through the door, because their CV contained nothing of interest. People without a formal background are not worth the oxygen they use.

I am an elitist prick according to people without degrees. I am certainly elite.

I never said anything about education being in decline you selective editing halfwit. As the full quote of my comment above shows, I'm not referring to education being in decline, but American male attendance, enrollment, and thus organized societal participation being in terminal decline.

However, to answer your question, "Why do college graduates make more money then?" For the same reasons why so many of the people dying from the Covid-19 vaccine have been overwhelmingly college graduates, I imagine.

Harvard has been a woke university for at least 4 decades, so I'm sure he'll get admitted anyway.

85 is the mean IQ of our blacks. This means that, if the standard deviation is 15, then only a very tiny sliver of blacks are anywhere near competitive for the Ivys.

If a black kid has 3 white grandparents and grows up in an upper middle class or better household, then that’s the sliver. Good luck to ‘em.
