The system we have now provides the best education and even more importantly the networking contacts, to those with most money....apart from disastrous affirmative action programs, which are political rather than rational.

I'd agree that the money method is only an indirect way of educating the brightest as IQ and money don't always align. However, they align more than any other individual attributes.

Personally whatever system gets the brightest minds into the most important jobs for society matters much more than politics. I don't think the system does this well today due to other concerns...partly funding related.

Like everything else in this country what was designed to benefit this nation...in terms of elites, has been globally farmed out and is increasingly globalist in nature.
