I understand, though disagree with of course, the logic of removing the arts, world languages, civics, history, and geography. After all if you want the next generation to grow up ignorant of the outside world then shielding them from anything that involves communication, criticism, or ambiguity makes sense.
But surely removing computer science and engineering is just shooting themselves in the foot.
@ninalanyon those I found curious as well 🤔 Of course those are useful skills for resistance as well, so maybe that's why they don't want their own citizens to know about that and hope to find loyal immigrants to do those jobs for their own cause? Elon already mentioned that immigrants are essential for the tech industry after all.
It looked like infighting back then, which boosted the "they won't succeed" confidence of idle bystanders. Now it's a useful seed for what they may need later. Considering how well thought through everything is, I'm not ruling out that disagreement over immigration was part of the plan all along.
@NerdyPotato New Hampshire is the home of Dartmouth College where the programming language BASIC was created by Thomas Kurtz and John Kemeny. I've never been there but like so many people of my age around the world I owe a debt of gratitude to them, and by extension the college. BASIC was the programming language I used (at the age of fourteen in senior high school, 1969). I eventually went on to make a career of computing both in hardware and software.
It seems that Dartmouth College's motto will in future be more apposite than one might hope: Vox clamantis in deserto (A voice crying out in the wilderness)
