“Elite overproduction”

"Torres is also particularly alarmed by the phenomenon that the Russian American evolutionary anthropologist Peter Turchin calls “elite overproduction.”

“We produce far more college graduates than there are elite positions for those graduates to occupy,” Torres observes. When those graduates find themselves deep in debt, shut out of the kinds of jobs they were promised and crushed by the cost of housing, “it is bound to have a radicalizing effect.”

It’s a strong argument for more vocational schools. It’s also an F.D.R.-esque call to save capitalism from itself, lest the people Torres calls “the New Jacobins” gain further grip."

We have too much of such elite in Lithuania as well. This elite has seized radical ideas abroad and is also becoming the new Jacobin. Monuments of good writers are falling, Lithuania is flooded with drugs - grass, people who have escaped from Muslim radicals, are dying in swamps near the Lithuanian border and being brought to the territory of Belarus.  

Lithuania, are you still here?
