2 thoughts for the 2k.
Why do corporations like to hire students who have just graduated from the top colleges? It's only partially because they are the smartest. It is only partially because they are the hardest working. Its is entirely because they are the most easily duped. Students leaving top notch universities are most eager to prove themselves in the face of society so they can live up to the dreams placed upon them. Moreover, they are easily led towards the aspirations of the corporation because they have little prior real-life experience. The hardest workers and the most aimless workers all come from the top universities. Also, people who come out of these schools are the best at duping others because of their inherent educational credentials. It's a goldmine for the social "super-organisms" (corporations, the government, international institutions) that try to run things.
Men who wish to improve their government inevitably dream of their governments to be omniscient, omnipotent, and infinitely fair. All such men dream of their governments to behave as God; all such men dream of the "ideal utopian government" would be one which creates a society where man can do no wrong to each other. The trouble is, if you try to create such a society, it means taking that fruit from the Tree of Knowledge and forcing men to barf it up. It means that under the best government man has no need for free will. It means when someone says they want to create a better or ideal government (or system of social organization), they are in essence saying they want mankind to return the Garden of Eden, absent the fruit of Good and Evil, and with them as God.

Why must this be true?

Maybe using govt here was the wrong word. It should be "system of social organization". Whether it be the govt, market, or whatever else, those are the three criteria that we wish it to have.

Hm interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing. I suppose this is your "real" 2k, then. Your first part seems like quite the perceptive observation, definitely seems quite true as far as I know. I don't have credentials or any particular authority to comment on either points but congratulations

Free market capitalism! Where you too, can become god by earning enough money :D

Hi Shady!
I'm going to congratulate you in the same theme my first post directed to you was:
Thank you for being a part of this community, although some may not say it, but I will. I appreciate your presence. You're a dedicated individual and I respect you for that.
Cheers

Would like to hear this as well. Also I dislike your statement that "the hardest workers and most aimless workers all come from the top universities." What if you are really smart and a diligent worker, do you just not go to a top university? What's so bad about being successful (educationally speaking)? This sounds like anti-intellectualism or just butthurt. Yeah it's true that corporations like to hire people from top colleges, but I honestly think you have a distorted view of why that is the case. Why not just say that they're the most qualified?

Stupid students, being tricked into taking extremely lucrative jobs that will see them put on the fast-track to financial succes and influential positions.
As for your comments on government, even after you corrected it in a follow-up post, it simply isn't true. The entire existence of the conservative movement shows that.

Oh dang some of the reactionary counterarguments have good points too!
Discussion gogo :D

Another poimt here from a free-will perspective that you are in control of your destiny is that students have the a higher ability potential to rise in a corporate business compared to someone who hasn't been exposed to an as prestigious and more unique campus to develop them and their character as a young adult
