gollark: The tulip subsidies are merely a metaphor.
gollark: Quite a lot of the time people try and get degrees not because they actually need to know something important about the subject, but because they won't be taken seriously/hired without one, which is bad.
gollark: Well, they cost a massive amount for some bizarre reason, and if you just subsidize it people will come out with degrees but it will also be a massive money pit.
gollark: Free universities is a very very bad idea.
gollark: Idea: discrete cosine transforms.
