Prof. Jiang Xueqin | Why Modern Education Is Failing Young People?

Описание: Based on the "Death by Meritocracy" lecture, Professor Jiang argues that trauma is not an accidental side effect of the elite system—it is the fuel that runs it. The system specifically selects for students who are "broken" because they are the only ones willing to sacrifice their lives for external validation.
he Core Argument: The "Hunger Games" of the Soul
1. Happiness is a Disadvantage Jiang creates a shocking contrast: A "happy" child with a loving family is actually at a disadvantage in elite admissions. Why? Because happy people have "enough." They don't have the desperation required to work 100 hours a week or step over others to become a billionaire. The system filters them out in favor of the "hungry" and insecure.

2. The "Hunger Games" Dynamic He explicitly compares the Ivy League experience to the Hunger Games. It is a zero-sum tournament where students are pitted against each other for scarce rewards (status, grades, jobs). This constant state of "fight or flight" rewires their brains. They become hyper-competitive and unable to form genuine human connections, viewing peers only as rivals or tools.

3. Trauma as "Human Capital" The system creates a "void" in these students. They believe they are only worth as much as their last achievement. This deep insecurity is what corporations and banks want—they want employees who will never stop working because they are terrified of being "nobody".
