Shit, they got the UUs too. Well, now you can freely denounce them and call them out for their hypocrisy and illiberal views. I guess I'm not surprised. I really don't know why the hell it's been so easy to poison the liberal well this way. But, if you can convince conservatives to abandon conservatism for the Trump cult, I guess you can do equally to get former liberals to join the wokeness cult.
Evidence shows these extremist positions come from Universities and Colleges - and they grow more and more extreme. But why? I speculate that it is due to "publish or perish" coupled with America having far too many professors in the humanities.
Getting tenure (and build a reputation) in Higher Ed requires publishing stuff that is "New" and compatible with the zeitgeist of the field.
In STEM fields, there are many unanswered questions that are related to active topics of research. A young scienti…
Very interesting rundown on what happens in academia - you sound like you've spent rather a lot of time there. I think it's also that the kids want to hear a certain narrative and the academia model has d/evolved to treat students like customers, which they're not, but as you know 'the customer is always right'. So they learn a blinkered view of humanity that fits their constipated worldview and don't develop the resilience they need for the real world. Jonathan Haidt & Greg Lukianoff covered i…
I enjoyed reading your reply to my overlong comment. I think we are in agreement. BTW: I have spent most of my adult life in academia, for 25 years I was a research astronomer and for the past decade or so, I have been teaching. I mostly teach General Ed Astronomy because my 'mission' is to increase science literacy in America - it is a quixotic quest because academia's science literacy is plummeting at a staggering rate. Let me give you an example:
Maybe y'all should challenge them more on feelings. They may be *part* of the humanities but in the end, for something like sex, it's pretty immutable...feelings notwithstanding, you can't say transwomen are women because biology says they're not; and it's the gametes, as you point out, that ultimately define them. Everything else is window dressing, although it strikes me that bio males always think like bio males to some extent, as do bio females. Elliott Page is the most chicky transmale I've seen so far. I'm quite sure she will one day regret what she did to herself; it seems so ridiculously inauthentic, and I wouldn't say that about all transfolk.
