Great article! The survey results alone should leave anyone with a bit of common sense speechless. Your remarks on free speech and the expected entitlements of anti-free speech students would be funny if they were not supported and indirectly encouraged by University admins and leaders. It begs a question: is there value in getting a higher Ed diploma here in the US? I know it’s risky to generalize, not all institutions are conducive to wokism and eugenic theories.
One thing worth calling out: the issue with education you described starts at KG and is promoted throughout the years -I live in CA and it’s obvious here; I believe/hope other states are in better shape.
It's a valid question; it's a great investment of time and resources and I think it's only worthwhile if you study something like natural sciences, math, physics, architecture, engineering... Humanities are all probably a great waste of time and money, leaving young people with debts and zero useful skills to cope with vicissitudes of life.
As usual a great article! I love it and dovetails the great announcement Trump just made today.
Yes, universities are poisoning the well, if they can really get to the well! But they can't, although they are always proud to say they can. When you like to dive a bit deeper into consciousness and really, really like to know what knowledge really is, and how to attain it, I would suggest to think about the words of Mrs. Blavatsky, which fits with the experiences of Count de Saint Germain, about whom I wrote in another comment:
"Knowledge comes in visions, first in dreams and then in pictures presented to the inner eye during meditation. Thus have I been taught the whole system of evolution, the laws of being and all else that I know—the mysteries of life and death, the workings of karma. Not a word was spoken to me of all this in the ordinary way, except, perhaps, by way of confirmation of what was thus given me—nothing taught me in writing. And knowledge so obtained is so clear, so convincing, so indelible in the impression it makes upon the mind, that all other sources of information, all other methods of teaching with which we are familiar dwindle into insignificance in comparison with this. One of the reasons why I hesitate to answer offhand some questions put to me is the difficulty of expressing in sufficiently accurate language things given to me in pictures, and comprehended by me by the pure Reason, as Kant would call it.
Theirs is a synthetic method of teaching: the most general outlines are given first, then an insight into the method of working, next the broad principles and notions are brought into view, and lastly begins the revelation of the minuter points."
So what we learn in schools is echoing the thoughts of others and trying to comply the best way we can, in doing so we achieve what we like to achieve, 'respect', admiration or a high income, but we must always be cautious not to cross ethical borders here, which we see being done when universities go into politics and meddle with the lives of citizens, 'they should be held accountable for the destructive policies they recommend or justify' as you describe so well . Thanks a lot Alex for your fine analysis and stand up for truth.
Sure Alex, it just brings the difference to light between inductive and deductive reasoning, the first is the in the West highly appreciated but so often false Aristotelian method that endeavors to come to an understanding of nature by a continued process of trial and error. It is a pity that we hurt ourselves so much by thinking in a rather destructive way. At one point all universities have to address their views on research.
Most of us do not realize in how much karmic mud we stick only through condoning research on living animals for potions and pills. The elites who always have mocked the use of herbs and natural healing in favor of pharmaceutical poison, are very much to blame. And so we have an unhappy and unhealthy karma which we pass on to our unlucky descendants, until we find it enough and then change will come. But then there still remains a bill for the millions (billions?) of duped apes, mice and other vermin, that were decades long tortured in labs worldwide in incredible horrible ways. The universe will never forget or forgive, there will come a moment the bill will have to be paid in full, the cup of poison has to be emptied to the last drop. Perhaps we have arrived at that moment now and we are waiting for the cashier?
Agreed; I think that running cruel and unnecessary experiments on other living beings is one of the saddest and most heartbreaking transgressions of our western ways. Same with factory farming. We produce large quantities of low quality stuff; we destroy much in the process and little satisfaction from it. And the anointed "experts" then tell us that this is all for the best. But I think that deep down we all know it is not.
Alex being a gypsy is sometimes prophetic...isn't it so? From the lyrics of another brilliant artist from your former home..."Pitbull Terrier"....AI reality theories are no match. Sorry to be so cryptic.
I believe a simple image with a small text says all there is to know about Universities

modern day university education produce mas psychotic zombies not an intellectual's

Thank you Mr Krainer. Excellent article.
Muito obrigada.

You are right, and the quote from Mrs. Blavatsky, which I have not yet encountered, rings true and relevant. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent conclusion!
A college degree today is not only highly OVERRATED, but more importantly, uber-highly OVERVALUED. Great read thanks Alex!
