either less people study at uni going forward or we need to invent a better tier of education. it cant be that over 50% reach university degree.

@kaia i think the main issue is that it went from mostly actual education to mostly signaling (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Case_Against_Education if you have too much time). A smart guy with youtube, anna's archive and LLMs can get a better education than anyone at any university, but nobody will recommend it to their kids (for now). same reason why kids with access to anki and a discord server can learn good conversational japanese in a year while most japanese studies graduates can neither read nor speak it.
