      Like the capitalists want “uneducated” masses

      Capitalists have historically needed liberal universities in order to reproduce, both as asset managers and as propagandists. The modern turn towards “AI can do everything” is a real vulnerability in the material working of the system. The Professional Managerial Class has been a major pillar of modern capital since the Cold War Era. Dissolving it to save a few bucks is a serious blunder.

      Only question is who steps up to take advantage.
