I've actually had a conversation about this topic recently. We are actually seeing it happen in real time with the media. The real doers in media all skipped universities and made YouTube accounts or their own publications. Tim pool, Styx, Razor, etc. The critical thinkers, builders and future of that industry all side stepped the bloated apparatus and made their own thing. A one time, universities were a lock box of knowledge but with the invention of the internet that knowledge is free and widely available.
