COLLEGE CERTIFIED, THEN FILTERED, NOW IT DOESN’T EVEN DO THAT

And you want to tell me that every individual in the academy isn’t influenced by (top academics) or driven by (the remaining academics and the bureaucracy) malincenitves?

As far as I can tell, a middle class (moral) upbringing, and your work ethic, determine your productivity in the workplace.

The best universities largely just filter. The remainder are largely diploma mills. And we have now lost the generations that sought to convey 5000 years of western intellectual and cultural development in truth-telling.

GOOGLE DATA

–“Google is widely viewed as a bellwether of the new economy. It is noteworthy, then, that Google has found that academic success has little correlation with being productive in the workplace. Lazlo Bock, Senior Vice President of People Operations at Google, made the following comments in an interview published by the New York Times in June 2013:

-One of the things we’ve seen from all our data crunching is that G.P.A.s (grade point averages) are worthless as criteria for hiring, and test scores are worthless. Google famously used to ask everyone for a transcript and G.P.A.s and test scores, but we don’t anymore. We found that they don’t predict anything. What’s interesting is the proportion of people without any college education at Google has increased over time as well. So we have teams where you have 14 percent of the team made up of people who’ve never gone to college.-

Signaling an ability to grind through four or five years of institutional coursework is no longer enough; the signaling needed to indicate an ability to create value must be much richer in information density and more persuasive than a factory model diploma.”–
