Opinion: Are universities morphing into Orwellian states?

These create profiles that faculty and administrators can use to reward good learning habits, flag mental health issues, and impel students to modify personal habits to norms of model student behavior."

Nah... They teach you how to 'leech' off the welfare state efficiently (with a California State University ag degree YOU could be a welfare rancher for a living or...) See this image from a UC paper <https://scontent-sjc3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/s960x960/83331110_10157073394663450_8821564742368755712_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&_nc_ohc=tnU3BOAUp3UAX8tiSIk&_nc_ht=scontent-sjc3-1.xx&oh=de5da67ac173d010d3365dfe5691641b&oe=5ED128A8>. Food Stamps being pushed by the Regents for UC students. Later, when they find out they'll never get a job with that EXPENSIVE pig... sheepskin... that pays down that diploma, and they end up order picking at an Amazon warehouse with a tracking wristband, or telemarketing the refinancing of student loans ... to other ex-student suckers like themselves, at least they'll know how to get food stamps.🤣 Rr

Just getting them used to working in the corporatist social panopticon. They're willing and loyal subjects ... By the time an American is done with high school they are prepared to take their place as a mindless peer-reviewed narrowly-focused-on-THEMSELVES automaton in the murder machine. writing papers about how to turn students into mindless peer-reviewed narrowly-focused-on-THEMSELVES automatons for a living, for lots of money, while the guy who picks the food to keep them alive lives in a box in a field. I look forward to the time the people in those 'boxes' have a little 'fun' on a "Night of the Long Machetes". But I suspect the mindless peer-reviewed narrowly-focused-on-THEMSELVES automatons will simply snuff themselves. When I worked as a clean up guy for a UC student-manned coffee shop a decade ago every single one of the Baristas had at least one friend, sometimes more, who killed themselves. Sick culture... It's NOT education it's INDOCTRINATION that goes against the grain of survival itself. As Gurdjieff's mama told him on her death bed, if you can't do anything unique, just stay in school. Skool iz 4 LUZERS. Rr
