The Trump administration has facilitated the rise of a technology oligarchy that influences federal spending and education policy, led by figures like Elon Musk and Marc Andreessen. In a recent interview, Andreessen argued that the American higher education system is so broken that it requires complete replacement rather than reform. He criticized it for being stagnant and unable to adapt, likening it to a failing business model, suggesting a need for failure to enable progress and innovation. This aligns with the interests of tech elites benefiting from deregulation, highlighting a troubling shift in policy priorities.
"We have just stalled out, we have built an ossified system, an ossified centralized corrupt system."
"There is no way to fix American higher education without replacement, and there is no way to replace them without letting them fail."
