Yes, it is harder to build something from the ground up and easier to adapt something. However, if something is entirely dysfunctional then sometimes you just have to start over. I'm not thinking about higher education here so much (although it does need root and branch reform) but government. I think we have reached a point where we need to start over. That means not just removing the current government but the entire system - state, church, capital, the works.
It's not going to happen though and if it did the process and outcome would be terrifying. Year Zero in Kampuchea. Nevertheless, it might be worth it.
