A commencement speaker is not "education system". Try again.No need to find new truth. The obvious truth is bad enough.
I would insist that commencement speakers stop telling the graduating class how wonderful they are and what great things they are going to do, and instead point out what previous classes have done with, or to, their lives. That's much more honest and revealing. This might temper the false pride and sense of entitlement these young 'skulls full of mush' have.

Do you understand why a logical fallacy is not a persuasive argument for anything?
You need to remember that just because you do not like something does not mean that it is not "the truth". If you understood even just the bare bone basics of the sciences you would see that the theory of evolution is the only explanation that is supported by reliable evidence. There is none for creationism. And since scientists know that people can be highly emotional and irrational they have developed a reasonable definition of what is and what is not evidence. One must first have a testable hypothesis. If one makes observations that support it then that is evidence for it. If one makes observations that refute it then that is evidence against the idea.If I were in charge I would charge the education system to teach the truth, not about evolution, but about human nature. Of course it would be difficult finding teachers, so I would probably have to do it myself.
Then you should realize that you are not thinking logically, you are thinking emotionally.It persuades me.
I have no idea why this 'file' has appeared.
Adn you would teach this in place of biology, why?I would have courses all through school revealing how wonderful these kids aren't, so they'll know what to expect in the real world (as revealed by annual statistical analysis of human behavior).
That's just insane.They would also have to remain in each academic course until they get "A"s. Failure (anything less than A's) will not be allowed.
That says more about you than it does about anything else. And it isn't good.It persuades me.
It happens to me occasionally too. I don't know why.I have no idea why this 'file' has appeared.

Technically a passing grade means that the requirements of the course have been met. No one is expecting less than complete work. Odds are that you do "B" work for your boss. You meet the requirements and even exceed them a bit. That is what a B is. A is greatly exceeds requirements. And C is meeting the requirements adequately. I would not accept D work, but in the real world most jobs are done to C level. You may be overestimating the level of the work that you do. Workers often do that.Biology would still be taught. I would even allow evolution to be taught.
Why would we accept less than complete work? Their future bosses won't. If I did "B" work for my boss I would be fired. Millions are fired each year for this very reason. They don't think it's necessary to do all that they were hired to do.

Apparently you're not that familiar with the real world. There are always unexpected events, constraints, cost/benefit trade offs that always lead to less than perfection.
That's something that I learned very quickly in my profession (finance). A lot of times people don't want to pay for an 'A'. Often a 'C' is good enough.
Granted this entirely depends on the field in question. Some fields have less slippage for errors or trade offs especially where health & safety is a concern.

So it is your opinion that the way things are is good enough?
That is not the case at all. What I said is simply reality. Now a person that does "A" work will be in higher demand than one that does "C" work, but both can get the job done. There are tons of C workers out there. And if you earn a higher salary than others in your field you mad do A work. The fact is that not everyone can do A work. If that were the standard we would probably suffer greatly since most people cannot do A work. That means the few that could do A work would somehow have to do the work of everyone and that is not possible. Like it or not we need C workers.If what you say is true we have set the bar to promote failure, not success. And as it happens that seems to have worked out just right, as so many are failures.
I barely passed my written FAA PPL test, failing in points that made it dangerous for me to fly. That was back in the 1960's. I also think the flight training was sloppy. I'd give it a C at best. Hopefully it's better now.
I do A+ work on my job. My work credo is "Every job a masterpiece". That's why I'm overpaid.
The problem is that you do believe in voodoo. But you are right on one thing, your personal ignorance of science is not apt to harm you. But if you push for the ignorance of science you will harm others.Isn't good for who? Is mankind poorer because I don't believe the ToE? I'm the richer as I enjoy all the benefits of science without the voodoo.
Agreed. An employer of mine took to hiring inexperienced employees for entry level positions. I'm not sure how it worked out for them, though. Sure, they are saving a bunch of money on payroll, but there have been a lot more mistakes, and mistakes in my field are expensive.
