Allowing for my own many shortcomings, your cynicism does not impress me much Binoy.

Binoy is like the minor parties/independents that may hold the balance of power in the Senate, often just shooting off criticism with no understanding or willingness to illustrate just how difficult politics is, including for the mighty USA

This piece in particular highlights how much money we waste in trying to educate people like Binoy, but even more highlights how much more we waste in maintaining the institutions who failed to do anything but fill his head with rubbish at a young & tender age.

It shows we would be much better off closing 80% of universities, & spending the money saved on expanding TAFE & developing such institutions. Perhaps we could do something useful with the money like teaching young ladies how to change a flat tyre, or young men how to cook a cake, surely more useful than teaching idiots to be better idiots.
