For your entertainment, the internets greenest and most skeptical cervine doing a breakdown of this delightful piece of nonsense.

This is like the complaint about Tootsie Rolls, and different consumer products being placed in elementary school lessons.

The administrators are just opportunists, using whatever public resource they want, a la carte. They never actually create their own intellectual property, or anything of material value, or teach you how to think better. This is a sinecure.

They will say anything, you get them to say. Make them say what you want.

I would gladly contribute to an academic publication, to have 1,000 credentialed people, parroting me, over having a single certificate on my wall. You say it, outside of the context of academia, and it can never be true. :roll:

*chuckle* I heard about that satire in a Sam Harris podcast recently. Enjoyed how it went from plausible to entirely absurd. :)
