This is not Western civilization any more than a sow's ear is a silk purse. I don't care if Kim Kardashian is involved, models and narratives don't make garbage into beautiful, functional assets. Ye who would piss on this theatre are Western civilization. On an individual basis of the self, Western civilization is worth fighting for. Preserve the existence of its essence for later reconstitution by serving thyself. Be righteous and selfish in h8, my brothers. The due critical season that will set the next one or more centuries will neither delay forever nor abide forever.

Western Civilization is completely done. Hopefully, in what comes next, will salvage the good of Western Civilization and destroy the rot, and salt it, so it never grows again. We do live in interesting times. It will definitely get more interesting in the coming months.

This isn't actually new. It has possible to obtain a degree without a major for a least a few decades. One ends up with a 'general' bachelor's degree. 'General' is better known as 'pre-unemployment studies'.

And you can pay around $15k per year to major in nothing.

The truly smart people AREN’T going to college anymore.

Isn't that what a Liberal Arts degree is?

The Babylon Bee and The Onion need to just shut down operations. There is just NO WAY that satire can compete with reality anymore.

As even Gender-"Science" has been too hard for some they had to offer an even more moronic subject where no evidence of any knowledge is needed.
The ones who pass those studies will all be hired by (N)GOs and social services. There will not be a UBI but ever more of those jobs in applied BS-sciences.
And the remainuing 20% of the society, the ones who really produce something will have to provide all those things parasites want.
And in a "democratic" society the 80% will always agree to laws that perpetuate this situation.

I'd love to see how this plays out when looking for a job.

I think this leads to a excellent tee shirt --


Education:

baby rattle --> finger paints --> pencil --> calculator --> computer --> baby rattle.

Aren't most Liberal Arts majors effectively majoring in nothing?

If anything,sarcasm and parody is even MORE needed in this day and age.
You see, parody IS reality, only exaggerated and exposed for the fallacy it is.
Society's always been absurd right from the get-go, and that's why parodies work.
You know how it is when you're in a situation where everything is irrational, corrupt, and everyone around you seems shifty---but if you say anything about it you either get a blank stare or everyone seems clueless as to what you're talking about, as if you're somehow delusional or the like. And, how when you're in a situation where you sense "something's amiss" but no-one else seems to notice, you just "keep quiet" and start "accepting" it as a "norm".
That's why sarcasm and parody are so important. They're like a "voice" for those of us who have a problem with things most others accept and take for granted.

Once upon a time, a course of study in Inter-Disciplinary Studies or "Master of the College" as it's known at certain colleges within British universities was a viable life direction, especially if these people were planning on moving into some kind of university-focused administrative function ...

These were the kinds of people who wanted to be like Benjamin Jowett at Balliol College, Oxford.

Now it's a programme for the kinds of people previously mocked as "buffet intellectuals".
