Yes, and also -- where do the really creative types land? Do we get rid of art? (we are doing a great job at that these days) If our public education systems serve mainly to train "workers" or increasingly "soldiers", we aren't educating toward the future. we have been educating (in public school) toward the past for a long time. That means we favor what had been practical in the (increasingly distant) past and devalue ( really have zero idea or vision concerning) what skills will be useful in the future. It turns out that it doesn't make sense to train kids and people to behave more like robots when we are building an army of much better, tireless robots. Our public education systems in the US avoid intellectualism, creativity, and the arts (shaping the arts for the future isn't an option- we just cut them from the curriculum).
