When I was a kid, the most common excuse to explain why so many computer answers were useless was "Garbage in, garbage out". This referred to informational garbage (bad data) not useful organic garbage that can be used for good.
That doesn't only apply to old computers.
It's why AI may never be as useful as it could have been. Biased humans will train it with their political garbage (flawed date), so what do you expect to come out of it?
But the same is true of students who've gone through gov-schooling (including statist universities). Garbage is put into their heads, so garbage is what their words and actions are once they are out in the real world.
Then too many of these garbage-filled drones go into that other dispenser of garbage: government.
Political government has nothing but garbage going in-- beginning with the flawed ideas that create and justify it-- so garbage is the natural output. Garbage in, garbage out.
