Mediocrity Is Now Mandatory

College will become high school. It will be free, mandatory, and which one you went to won't matter at all. That's not important. But what is important, is that like high school, it won't matter what you studied, or if you stood out. In fact, it's already happening.

A free high school where I can pick and choose from a wide variety of subjects where I have support to help me along with learning? Shit, sign me up.

College will become mandatory but it will matter what your degree is because demand and supply dictates market economy. I'm more worried about full automation that is coming in the next decades because it will leave many unemployed. I think universal base income is inevitable but what comes after that?
