I wonder if the devaluation of the U.S. university degree will result in society becoming more social, helping resolve the oft-cited ongoing "loneliness epidemic".

People, robbed of the big city office jobs they'll have thought they were going to get, will have no option but to "come home", and although I unfortunately see radicalization, violence, and spiraling being an equally plausible outcome, what I hope will happen—and there's a good chance this is going to happen—is that people will use the skills they've learned to help improve their communities. That is, instead of "running away" because of a problem they've experienced, they'll be fixing the problem where they are currently such that the need to "run away" at all is reduced.

Many of these people, I feel, are going to be living not in a big city where everyone is focused on doing their office jobs and hence nobody talks to each other, but in the outskirts—suburbs, exurbs, or even rural areas—where they, lacking an office job to take away, help contribute to the vitality of local culture and society, whether through small business operation, art or music, cooking, or religious activities.

This is visible throughout Chinese society, and I anticipate it affecting American society before long.
