What codswallop! Drive through the Westwood shopping area of Los Angeles and look at the faces of the UCLA students; Drive along Symonds Street, Auckland and check the demographics of Auckland University students walking to class. You are lucky to see one Caucasian amongst a sea of Asian students. If Chinese and Indian universities are going to become the “Ivy League” colleges in twenty-five years time and replace the hallowed institutions of Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Yale and Princeton universities, with thousands of years of collective learning of years, then why aren’t Chinese and Indian students now taking advantage of the so-called better education at home instead of flooding the schools of the western world? Is this moron, Levin, telling us what took hundreds of years for England and America to create, these other tatty third world nations will accomplish in just twenty-five years.

The Chinese haven’t even automated rice growing yet and most people are lucky to own a bicycle or ride/walk on a paved road. Take a look at any large Indian city and you can understand why most well educated teenagers want to leave the country. As for a tiny city-state holding any trump cards and providing the key to educate the world’s elite, give me a break. Saudi Arabia don’t even know how to treat women and that will never change. We can thank the western universities for emancipating women. Will a female student have to wear a burkha to school in 2035? I would say yes because a cultural revolution by then will make Saudia Arabia, the next Iran.

Why can’t these academics like Professor Levin keep to teaching in the classroom and concern themselves with their students. So many like Levin opt to seek publicity by becoming politically motivated. If he knew what was happening to the world economy right now and the exposure of China and India, the last thing he would be doing is telling us we are doomed and China and India will become our masters.
