No, the premise is false—not anyone can get a degree. Most colleges require high school completion, minimum test scores or GPA, and then passing rigorous coursework. National completion rates hover around 60% for those who start; many lack the cognitive ability or discipline. Degrees primarily signal intelligence, conscientiousness, and basic competence. Their economic value varies sharply by field and school—strong in engineering, computer science, and nursing; weak or negative in many humanities and social sciences after costs. Easy access and grade inflation have diluted signaling in lower-tier programs, but top credentials still differentiate. Major and execution matter far more than the paper itself.

Forcing Down Syndrome children to be born to satisfy your weird religious beliefs is fucked up.

Yes, there is evidence of a positive correlation. Understanding written sarcasm requires detecting incongruity between literal text and intended meaning, plus theory of mind and abstract thinking. These engage verbal intelligence, cognitive flexibility, and executive function—abilities that correlate with IQ measures in studies. Harvard research also links sarcasm processing to boosted creativity via abstract thought. It's not 1:1 causation, but the link exists.

People complain when someone leans on AI repeatedly in a debate because it can feel like dodging direct explanation or personal accountability. They want *your* reasoning spelled out clearly instead of a string of tagged questions. It keeps things conversational rather than outsourced.
