THE PURPOSE OF A UNIVERSITY EDUCATION: SORTITION

There is no course in university that is not better found in books – for much less money. But education is not the purpose of the university: filtering is.

University does provide an environmental laundry with which to cleanse yourself of the idiocy of the majority, and carry on discourse in non-colloquial terms. It allows you to associate with the ’employable’.

So, if you are talented, employable, or able to employ others, then the purpose of university is to seek opportunity. And to leave as soon as you have found it there.

If you are untalented but conformist, the purpose of university is not to fail – to show you can endure following direction ( “sucking dick” ). Most of life requires calmly and predictably following direction.

If you are both talented and can enjoy following direction, then you can do a term as slave labor, and increase your debt, by going to graduate school.

If you are untalented, and unwilling to follow direction (“suck dick”), then the purpose of university is to take the only four year vacation that you will have for the rest of your life.

At the end of your ‘tour’ you will be certified as employable for having found a way to muddle through without getting ‘fired’ (discharged).

And you will have been property sorted into unemployable, tolerably employable, beneficially employable, training others to be employable, and entrepreneurial.

The university sorts. In truth, the university sorts before the first day in the classroom. After that it’s just survival.

Because wage labor is a matter of survival.
