  • You seem to be arguing for choosing a major with some job prospect, but Ford seems to be arguing for not taking any courses that aren’t directly beneficial to some economic purpose.

    I disagree with Ford’s stance at least. As an old tech person, my non-tech uni courses were most beneficial to my overall capabilities in my tech job, at least in the long run. Creative writing, ethics, history, and tort law were things I took because they were interesting (to me at least). None of these had much relevance to tech as far as I could see, but I’ve been much better off for them.


  • You are thinking only of the modern G rating. Go back in time a bit to find G rated movies like:

    • 2001: A Space Odyssey
    • Planet of the Apes
    • The Secret of NIMH
    • many John Wayne movies including True Grit

    Just like society’s thoughts on what is generally acceptable, the mpaa rating system has changed quite a lot over the years.
