Bryan discusses how our society's obsession with credentials has led to a waste of time and money in the education system. He argues that action bias, the need to do something, has driven the creation of a large education system, but the main result has been employers raising their educational expectations without guaranteeing good jobs. He also highlights how this bias is especially prevalent in government, where there are fewer personal disincentives against pursuing ideas that sound good but don't work out in practice.In this clip
