This is a false statement, there are amazing professors at state schools and very poor professors at “top” schools. Having graduated from a top school and done continuing Ed at a state school I learned more at the state school. Mit is perhaps the exception but that’s only because of programs like open course ware and edx.
And yes engineers are typically way better critical thinkers capable of far more complex thought. I engage on here because it’s so entertaining.
What's the point of your interjection? Physics is commonly considered one of the most difficult disciplines to learn.
How many physicists are in Congress?
Congress is full of lawyers who collude with bankers. That's Congress. There isn't any critical thinking going on, except collusion, blackmail, and fraud...made legalized by a team of excrement.
And not all lawyers are bad. There's multiple people in this thread suggesting engineers are greater than the rest of us. It is not even remotely true.
Growing a garden, cleaning your dishes, or mowing the lawn is work. So is building a house, hunting, working in a cooperative, etc.
Yes, and in the Winterfall world, you can go down to the town square in your horse and buggy, wash your clothes down by the creek with a washboard, and make your own soap by the light of a candle.
Things he'd be able to afford to do if he could save up for retirement. Sorry, but gardening doesn't pay medical bills.
And that's the problem with our system.
If cooperative banks and health care syndicates existed rather than our current for profit healthcare system where the sick weren't exploited for profit, then someone could grow food in their backyard, live in a decent house, and not worry about overhead costs.
But that would require a system that did not reward greed and corruption, something you can't comprehend.

If you read his previous post, he's fine the way things are going. It looks like he will have enough saved up for retirement and then can enjoy life. He'll have everything you describe with the current system. Win/win.

My point was Oldgorilla shouldn't find work unique to this system.
Also, the relief for retirement is a big testimony to our economic and social system.
There are necessary adjustments that need to made to our fiscal policies to reflect changes in demographics and the way economic activity takes place. As technology changes the nature of work and commerce it is only natural that policies need to adapt. This is not an apocalyptic death sentence for the United States. We may not have the best representatives in place to handle these changes now but people will learn as the changes become more wide spread and traditional models of revenue to support programs and our way of life fail to support society's needs. A transition to younger elected officials who are knowledgeable and experienced with these changes, 35 to 50, needs to take place. That being said, radical ideas like taxing capital gains 90%, raising tax rates on the wealthy to 70%, and paying people who are "unwilling" to work are not the types of ideas that moves our country forward and hurts the strength of economy and our people.
