I will agree with him with this - 'His first column ... argued that universities were destroying education "by making it relevant": "Replace pure by applied mathematics, logic by computer programming, architecture by engineering, history by sociology. The result will be a new generation of well-informed philistines, whose charmlessness will undo every advantage which their learning might otherwise have conferred." I guess that's an intellectual's way of saying 'dumbed down for the useless eater breeders.'
