The ability of corporations and not-for-profits to obtain government powers to serve competitive advantage is a short-sighted strategy. How can they maintain productivity and creativity without ambitious, independent and well-educated employees? The quality of contemporary college graduates is laughable. Their level of under-education is incredible. Biochemists do not know the concept of -delta G, BS grads do not know 40 x 10^4 is 4 x 10^5. I am supposed to mentor them to create stem cell- derived human brain organoids to study neurocognitive disorders or perform single cell RNAseq analyses? We are kidding ourselves here as to the consequences of our inaction. Not to mention the lack of work ethic and the disdain for constructive criticism. There is no drive for development or desire to make significant contributions. Time spent attempting to fight uphill battles or mend morbid institutions with Band-Aids is a monumental waste of time and testimony to our lack of character strength. We should be thinking about means to outmaneuver the woke and pathologized ideologues. Instead we play their game of weaponized empathy. They certainly are not going to show us any.
