anybody else read this and think "Why are you graduating these midwits then? This is why a university degree is useless at this point, it's lost all signalling value because someone who is awesome gets the same degree as someone functionally illiterate with an 8th grade writing level. The person with the 8th grade writing level should have an 8th grade diploma!"

The problem is not the phones, k-12, etc. The problem is something like 38% of the workforce has a bachelor's degree and it probably should be more like max 25%. This guy's very average college is likely majority people who should not be in a college degree program and his college is graduating them regardless of failure to attain an actual education.
