Criticism of higher education has focused on its failure to produce expected economic rewards; whether noneconomic benefits or costs are of significant size has not been considered. Data from the 1973-1978 General Social Surveys on 1,400 white Ms & 1,673 white Fs & 130 black Ms & 147 black Fs, all aged 25-54, are used to estimate the effects of years of school completed on 8 dimensions of psychological well-being. Estimates are provided for effects of SE variables, family situation, & f of attendance at religious services. Little evidence is found for negative effects; the only statistically significant negative effect is between education & satisfaction with community for white Ms. Education appears to have positive effects in all subpopulations except black Ms, the strongest being for white Fs. Greater effects are found from 4 years of high school than from 4 years of Coll. Mothers' education may have an important effect on offsprings' psychological well-being. 5 Tables, Appendix.

In 1956, the Jewish-German philosopher Günther Anders developed a philosophical anthropology on the technological and moral challenges of his time. Anders suggested the societal changes that arose with the industrial age opened a gap between the capability of individuals to produce machines and their ability to imagine and deal with the consequences caused by this capability. He argues that a 'Promethean gap' manifests in academic and scientific thinking and leads to an extensive trivialization of societal issues. In the face of climate change, Anders' philosophical anthropology contributes substantially to our attempts to fight climate change with innovation. Anders' description of 'apocalyptic blindness' helps us to explain why we cannot help pairing our belief in historical progress and growth with our ideas on social and environmental justice. With that said, this paper contributes to the debate on humanity 'after sustainability' by calling to mind Anders' historical theory on the outdatedness of humankind and his thoughts on our lack of imagination.
