It may be coincidence, but the steady rise in university education since WWII seems to have coincided with a dramatic increase in the number of nutters infesting the public arena. Not a one to one relationship of course, but increase the nutter propensity even slightly and maybe we inadvertently increase the numbers.
It isn't bang up to date, but the graph below shows a dramatic rise in number of students obtaining degrees since WWI. Even a cursory inspection suggests there may have been a similar rise in the number of public arena nutters. Uncanny. More research needed obviously.

Sobering to think that there are university Vice-Chancellors who got Public Arena Nutter Studies degrees back in the 1980s. It was a great investment.
ReplyDeleteSam - I'm sure a drastic reduction in the number of universities would be beneficial.
