Interesting read on the state of higher education. I certainly graduated college feeling anxious and lost. Credit to ND, though, on instilling some level of intellectual curiosity and at least starting me on the long journey towards a sense of purpose. Our system of elite education manufactures young people who are smart and talented and driven, yes, but also anxious, timid, and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and a stunted sense of purpose: trapped in a bubble of privilege, heading meekly in the same direction, great at what they’re doing but with no idea why they’re doing it.
