Could you possibly be any more irrelevant?

I've long since realized how worthless academia is, but this just kinda like beating a dead horse.

These people are educating the next generation.

If you don't call them out now we be dealing with this all over again in 10-20 years once the students today have got established in their professions.

I think we're fucked already. The problems we're seeing now stem from the garbage shoved down the throat of zoomers while no one was paying attention for the last 5-10 years. We've yet to see what the kids who've been fully brainwashed from kindergarten and up are like.

The pendulum swings, man. The pendulum always swings.

think about uni, is you are supposed to think. Sure, many sheep will go through, having been turned into woke robots, but the smart ones will be in full rebellion. There is no way you could be exposed to this utter trash and not reject it, if you have an IQ above 120.

Well, there’s your problem. Most people don’t have an IQ above 120. If they did, the average IQ would be 120, not 100.

The biggest issue is that most humans just aren’t that bright. It’s always been up to a small minority of more intelligent humans to progress our species and steer the herd in the right direction.

its not a problem. Most people are dumb, yes. Uni doesn't take most people.

You appear to be under the impression that it’s still the 1980’s or something. Universities will accept anyone with a pulse now. They’re a money-making racket churning out useless pieces of paper. Most people don’t actually need a degree, but they get one anyway because of the low barriers to entry for student loans and inflating requirements in job listings.

She's not from the US, so university acceptance might be different. Student loan debt is highly predatory here, and you've got so many private education "universities" (like all of those bullshitty online-exclusive ones) that charge a fortune for a degree. Even places that tout themselves as community colleges are notorious for taking any breathing soul they can tap like a maple tree for money. It's a mess.

I've told my old Alma Maters to stop sending me newsletters, as I can't stand how they have gone from bastions of intellectual greatness to peddling woke bullshit.
