“I don’t know if protective detachment can be consciously learned.”
09/11/01 was the exact day I started learning how to consciously do this. When the entire social circle falls for a psyop in real time, there’s not many options.
Historically, everyone goes to college lasted a generation and a half. What exists now is the downstream consequence of basing society on nonsense. My education ~1990 was riddled with beast lies, but was much more demanding than the equivalent curriculum today. I’m sure there are pockets. But in general, not fit for purpose.
Eventually lack of utility becomes fatal. The enstupiding was an inevitable consequence of pretending everyone could go. The result was that those who actually should be there no longer benefit intellectually. And the chaff don’t benefit at all. My college was over half male. That’s another universe.
“Alphas are more attractive and more valued than Deltas.” Obvious really, but when I was very young, I thought being attractive was created the value, when actually it’s the reverse.
So, was [everyone goes to college] a psyop, nefariously intended from the git-go to destroy society by democracy? Or another unintended consequence of something that “seemed like a good idea at the time”?

Interesting. So it can be learned. You’re FTS-1. It’s probably something information processors can do if incentivized - if less capable - directed.
College for status is nearly dead.
It has been "what can you do, not what your paper says." Since 2010.
Its almost practical trade levels. The average student would barely survive filler office work at this point.
Half fail to process written and verbal directions without handholding.
It has more benefit of tying people down with debt, a form of redistribution, and making people feel " its their own fault for failing."
There is some interesting angles from the lawful evil perspective.
There is probably still a 5 to 10% utility of selecting more elites as well.
If money is fake, and you run an evil system, it works in theory. Until one realizes evil destroys itself in the end.

1 in 10 may be the ratio of "pockets to filler".
In the state system I am in, it wouldnt shock me if half the unis go under and the other half downsize.
All from lack of student interest.
Cant grow forever if you have no kids and the ones you do have refuse to go.

Phased closure is the gentlest outcome.
Id also contend, men refusing to go is killing it fastest.
“a Gamma on the Lakers will have more public social clout than the Alpha in the D&D club.”
So these types are not absolute classes like weight-classes in boxing. Something I tend to forget.
Intra-group vs. Inter-group.
SSH is constant. Access to status circles isn’t.
The pithy summary is one of Uncle John’s fortes. Tho sometimes pithy falls into the “shorthanded into incomprehensibility” category.

Not sure. I think it was an attempt to react to changing circumstances that had NPC foresight and imploded appropriately.
If there’s a psyop, it’s in the background noise that led the NPCs to think diluting something exclusive wouldn’t alter its value.
So probably a bit of both. Evil plus dim FTW.
