The numbers studying things we need still dropping. And, as Conan points out, the mediocrities crowding out those who have the potential to add to our Knowledge of the Humanities - and feed back into what used to be called the mechanical arts. Given that the Humanities are what makes our field of engineering tricky, that is a doubly bad thing. All this pessism.

Having marked MA "post-graduate" course essays in the hunanities I would say that some candidates would not have passed Leaving Cert English when I sat it. Needless to say they were all given the MA, but its value was greatly undermined for those who actually deserved it.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6768','Conan Drumm'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> Oh yes.

I think they've mastered the cat holding the bag closed from the inside quite nicely. And there is evidence of successful sleight of hand talent being used. Smoke and mirrors was obviously not covered by the smoking ban. (One of two thing I think FF handled well in government - that and the tax on shopping bags). In sum, I think there is plenty of talent - but for the wrong things. And knowledge doesn't come into it. The talented with knowledge are still doing what they always did - leaving.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('6766','aonghus'); return false;">Reply</a> </div> @Primal Sneeze – Dunno.
