84. Meh... I'm of two minds.
thinking conventionally, it's obviously an utterly dumb idea.

Thinking unconventionally, however, it might have positive "unintended consequences" in the form of opening a lot more people's eyes to the form and process of cultural indoctrination. Dropouts are among the few who actually have a chance to make a habit of thinking for themselves. Once you have 4 years of college, 50k in debt, and a "good job," there's not much chance of ever seriously questioning the mainstream.
